I'm A Celeb's Dec was bitten on the neck by a spider.
The popular presenter requiried medical attention and the incident occurred off-camera earlier this week. Ant McPartlin shared the news during an Instagram Live session, saying: "We've had quite a lot of drama, not only on the show but off the show as well because Dec had a spider on his neck and was bitten by a spider and the medic was called in to have a look."
Dec showed viewers a picture of the offending arachnid and the bite mark on his neck, saying: "Look at that spider, it bit me on the neck." He joked about the incident, claiming: "The medic said I was lucky to be alive. If I wasn't so fit and healthy, and masculine, I might not have survived."

However, Ant quickly dismissed his co-host's dramatic interpretation, stating: "No, she didn't, she said it was a jumping spider and it was absolutely fine," reports the Mirror.
This is just the latest in a series of challenges faced by the camp. Dean McCullough told the Mirror about the severe weather conditions in the jungle, claiming that the constant rain has led to some campmates developing trench foot.
In an exclusive interview, he described the situation as akin to the worst camping trip imaginable, where everything gets wet and never dries out.
"It's kind of a thing now in camp where if you don't have trench foot, you're kind of not cool. It was a real thing, and it does bring the mood down. Me and Coleen were both like: 'when are we going to get a chance to do some sun bathing?"
He revealed that one particularly stormy night forced them all to take cover, saying, "All our crocodile tail for dinner was ruined, so they gave us tofu instead," and added with a laugh, "If that's not a short change, I don't know what is...from crocodile tail to tofu."
The Belfast-born star, who now resides in Manchester, also commented on the weather: "I'm from Belfast, and I live in Manchester, the two wettest places in the UK. I will never whinge about that rain ever again. It was biblical."
Dean found himself as the second celeb to wave goodbye to the camp after Jane Moore, with Tulisa following suit shortly after.
