Each year the celebs face a barrage of beasties as they camp out in the thick of the jungle. Bites, bumps and ravenous leeches are a constant source of aggravation for the stars – but I fear any previous moans will prove insignificant compared to what viewers are about to be subjected to. Why? Because GILLIAN’S GOT A TICK!
Yes, a tick! The most bug-phobic woman this side of Sydney now has a blood-sucking parasite growing on the nape of her neck.
Medic Bob rushed in to camp to help the poor dear remove her hideous hitchhiker.
For those of you unfamiliar with ticks, they’re nasty little blighters you normally find attached to your dog or cat. But in the jungle, where all bugs seem to be ten times the size of their European counterparts, you have to carefully extract the arachnid’s fangs using what Bob describes as a “tick corkscrew”.
Yes, it’s painful. And yes, one glimpse of the corkscrew and Gillian will probably keel over again. Still, she’ll be dining out on this for weeks (not literally, of course). I bet the campers can’t wait!
