Janice Dickinson suffered a terrifying fall on the set of I’m A Celebrity that left her with a head injury and the crew feared she had fractured her skull.
Janice Dickinson suffered a “terrifying fall” on the I’m A Celebrity set, which left her with a serious head injury.
The former supermodel, 68, was taken to hospital and later had to stop filming for last year’s all-star show in South Africa.
Janice’s accident reportedly happened towards the end of filming and saw her fall over a cable in the camp in the dark and land on the ground.
A source told The sun on Sunday that the incident happened because the star was looking for the toilet, but lost her way and ended up tumbling.
After the nasty trip, in which the blood gushed from her head, she suffered a concussion, a black eye, bruises on the cheeks, a split lip and broken hands.

The source added, “It was terrifying. Everyone woke up to a sickening thud.
“Some of the camp mates ran to the noise and found Janice face down. She appeared to be lying on the floor half unconscious.
“Blood gushed from her head and she was covered in dirt and dust.”
It’s not yet known if the accident will appear in the series, which features a plethora of iconic stars from across the years.
MailOnline contacted a representative for Janice and ITV for comment.
Former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan, 32, TV presenter Carol Vorderman, 62, former boxer Amir Khan, 36, and Janice all take part in the pre-recorded version of the show which was filmed in South Africa.
They are joined by Paul Burrell, Jordan Banjo, Shaun Ryder, Fatima Whitbread and Phil Tufnell.
More stars will reportedly be announced in due course, with the series set to air late next month.
The drama surrounding Janice’s accident has come to light after a recent teaser clip from the show revealed that she burst into tears as she took on a disgusting eating trial.

As a tearful Janice puts her hand over her mouth and sobs “I can’t!” Jordan Banjo wonders “what’s going on?!” and Helen Flanagan sarcastically jokes, “Another day in paradise!”
Viewers see a group of 15 soap opera stars, reality TV personalities and sports icons enter the camp.
That’s what a source said earlier The sun: ‘It’s a different format than Australia, who knows when and where celebrities will enter the camp, literally anything could happen.
“It’s not clear how many will start in the camp or how many will be at the end when someone is crowned king or queen of the jungle, possibly for a second time.
“It’s literally the best of I’m A Celebrity, but there are some twists and surprises along the way for viewers and campers, so it won’t be as easy as they might think.”
