Celebrity Big Brother 2015: Janice Dickinson Leaves The House After Allergic Reaction To Bee Sting
Janice Dickinson has suffered a scary moment in the Celebrity Big Brother 2015 house, leaving temporarily to get emergency medical treatment after having an allergic reaction to a bee sting.
Viewers were shown the shocking moment the 60-year-old had a fit in the diary room, shouting: “I need an EpiPen right away, I need an EpiPen.”

She told Big Brother: “I’ve just got bitten by a bee and my finger’s swollen and it’s going up my wrist. I don’t want this to get into my heart.
“My hand is turning black. It’s going up my hand. I was stung a bee or a hornet. I’m allergic. Look at the colour of my hand. This is turning blue. I don’t want it to reach my heart. Please.”
Scenes then showed Janice suffering a seizure and convulsing on the floor, with the show’s medical team, who were tending to her in the diary room, later taking her to hospital for treatment.
Luckily, she made a full recovery and returned to the house just under three hours later.

After receiving treatment in hospital, she said: “I want to thank the amazing, generous doctors for helping me. I’m ready to go back into the house now. I want to make everyone feel safe and at ease.”
On her return, house prime minister Bobby Davro told her everyone is ‘100 per cent behind her’.
However, many viewers were outraged than Channel 5 decided to air the distressing scenes, taking to Twitter to describe their horror at seeing the situation played out.
One user wrote: “It’s disgusting. That was a private, vulnerable and frightening moment which had no place on tv. Appalling & predatory. #CBB.”

One viewer asked: “If that was genuine.. Should #Cbb have aired that?” while one tweeted: “I really don’t expect @bbuk to air that it was really scary I was so worried for Janice #cbb.”
Another added: “Ok @channel5_tv, that was way too much to show on air. Janice fitting on Big Brother. Horrible. Gross. Not good. #CBB.”

We’re hugely relieved to hear that Janice is doing okay, and we hope that this distressing situation doesn’t happen again.
