ITV sadly denies Heidi Pratt tortured, gastric ulcer to blame

The producers of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here have flatly denied allegations that Heidi Pratt (nee Montag) was denied food and drink on the set before she was admitted to hospital.

In a statement released to OK Magazine, ITV (who produce the show for NBC) said:

“ITV Studios, producers of the series, state that press reports at this time are untrue. ITV has been producing this format around the world for many years and the health of the celeb participants are of the utmost importance. A medic and a doctor are present at the location at all times for all participants. All allegations of the celebrities being deprived of food and water are completely untrue.”

In related news, Heidi’s admission to hospital has been attributed to a gastric ulcer. Notably the condition is usually caused by the taking of medicines (including aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen), or through the use of tobacco, alcohol and caffeine. Which begs the question: how can Heidi’s condition be related to the show, because if she was starved, or as another report suggests, fed only water, rice and beans, none are regarded as triggers for a gastric ulcer.

Another report claims that Spencer Pratt is claiming to sue NBC over the incident. Good luck with that.
