He was the first person in the 2021 series to leave the camp.<\/p>\n
Now, Richard Madeley has spoken about his exit from I\u2019m A Celebrity<\/a>, saying that \u201cdehydration\u201d was to blame for his trip to the hospital<\/a>.<\/p>\n Writing for\u00a0The Telegraph<\/a> on Saturday, the Good Morning Britain host explained that while he\u2019d felt fine after competing in the Castle Kitchen Nightmares trial, he began developing worrying symptoms after going to bed.<\/p>\n \u201cI reckon I must have been dehydrated that night (I\u2019m forever not drinking enough water), because I got into my bunk and suddenly felt detached and discombobulated,\u201d Richard Madeley<\/a> said. \u201c\u2018Funny turn\u2019 really is about the only way of describing it.<\/p>\n \u201cA nurse checked me over, but given my symptoms were so vague, it was recommended that I leave the camp and have some precautionary tests in hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n While he was given the all-clear and felt better, a producer later confirmed that he was unable to return to the castle as he had broken the COVID bubble.<\/p> \u201cIt\u2019s no exaggeration to say I felt completely gutted. It seemed ridiculous \u2013 I was loving my time in the camp \u2013 but I understood their reasoning,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m A Celebrity<\/a> didn\u2019t want to suffer the same plight as Strictly, on which contestants have repeatedly come down with the virus, meaning there had to be zero-tolerance on Covid risks.\u201d<\/p>\n The presenter denied conspiracy theories that he had caught a bug from doing a trial or had suffered side effects from a Covid-19 vaccine but instead blamed himself for \u201cfoolishly\u201d not remembering to stay hydrated.<\/p>\n Madeley went on to say that this year\u2019s King or Queen of the Castle is \u201canybody\u2019s game\u201d, but added that he doesn\u2019t think Naughty Boy<\/a> will make it to the final due to being perceived as a \u201cmoaner\u201d despite his own issues going on.<\/p>\n On Saturday, the I\u2019m A Celebrity cast<\/a> was removed from Gwrych Castle<\/a> due to Storm Arwen worsening, with ITV cancelling this weekend\u2019s episodes<\/a> due to technical issues caused by the storm.<\/p>\n The show is expected to return on Monday, but RadioTimes.com shall keep you updated should there be any changes.<\/p>\n I\u2019m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! 2021 is scheduled to return on Monday, November 29, 2021 at 9pm on ITV.
