Comedian Freddie Starr has been taken to hospital after suffering a severe allergic reaction during his stint on I’m a celebrity….Get me out of here. He will be kept in over night to be closely observed, and to run tests to try demand establish the root of the reaction.
Freddie started to feel sick and unwell after the Greasy Spoon bush tucker trial and doctors were immediately called to assess the 68-year-old condition.
A show spokesperson had said
“The reaction could be due to a spider bite, he might have reacted badly to a leech or a tic, or even a snake he hadn’t noticed.”…..he could have reacted to tree bark or even a leaf….”it’s highly unlikely the reaction is from a bug Freddie had eaten, during his bush tucker trial, but nothing is being ruled out.
Freddie is said to be in good spirits, and keeping the nurses entertained. No news yet if Starr will return to the jungle.

Billy Crystal, will present the 2011, Academy Awards, replacing Eddie Murphy, who 
was originally booked for the post.
The announcement follows days of drama at the academy after producer Brett Ratner last week used the gay slur “fags” at a screening of his movie “Tower Heist,” which stars Murphy.
Murphy was hand picked by Rather, but now both will no longer be a part of the 2012 awards telecast. Producer Grazer was brought in, and despite efforts to bring Murphy back, it seems to no avail. Grazer then turned to Crystal as one of the ceremonies most popular hosts.
Crystal broke the news on his Twitter account, “Am doing the Oscars so the young woman in the pharmacy will stop asking my name when I pick up prescriptions. Looking forward to the show.” He tweeted earlier tiday.
It will be Billy’s ninth time in the top job, his last stint was back in 2004.
