I’m A Celebrity 2015: Lady Colin Campbell ‘suffered a fall’ before exit
LADY COLIN CAMPBELL’S agent has suggested that the ‘medical grounds’ blamed for her I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! exit involved a previous fall she suffered during her time in the camp.
The 66-year-old left the jungle just days before the grand final on “medical grounds”, although Mike Hollingsworth has suggested that it’s not that straightforward.
Speaking over the phone on This Morning today, he said: "The official statement is she's left due to a medical condition.
“I know that she suffered a fall in the jungle camp and because of that viewers will have seen that she has been using a special chair to sit on for a little while, and that has clearly gotten worse.
"I have spoken to her and she is sad to be out. I think the medical condition might have been exacerbated by a certain amount of bullying she has been receiving by two particular campmates."

The writer frequently clashed with Duncan Bannatyne and Tony Hadley in the jungle, dividing viewers across the country over who was in the right.
As previously reported, a source told The Mirror: "The medical line has nothing to do with it, it's all to do with bullying. She feels she has been picked on by Tony Hadley and Duncan Bannatyne, the bullying got so much that she just couldn't stand it anymore and she walked.
"She can stick up for herself but she felt she was put in a corner. She is currently in great spirits because she is away from both of those men."
They had clashed over everything from a beetle on a fire to emu droppings, with one fight over a can of soup proving to be particularly explosive.
Lady C had been gathering more support from bookies than either Duncan or Tony, but was still languishing behind the likes of Vicky Pattison, George Shelley and Ferne McCann in the overall rankings.
Her official standing with voters will be revealed when official stats are released after the show’s final episode on Sunday.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs tonight at 8:30pm.
