Janice Dickinson Sues ITV for £700,000

Janice Dickinson has filed a £700,000 personal injury claim against ITV at London’s High Court after tripping in the dark while appearing on I’m A Celebrity… South Africa in 2023, suffering serious head and facial injuries that required emergency treatment. She alleges negligence and a lack of duty of care, saying the camp lacked adequate lighting, she was left bleeding for about ten minutes, production gagged crew members, and ITV initially refused to cover a course of rabies injections. Her lawyers at Taylor Hampton say their office has been inundated with inquiries from other reality stars seeking advice about injuries, alleged misconduct and duty-of-care failures on shows including Big Brother and Love Island. Media reports say ITV is bracing for a possible wave of similar lawsuits as former contestants feel emboldened to speak up. ITV says it disputes Dickinson’s account, will study the claims, and maintains it paid her medical expenses, flew her home and kept in contact with her representatives.
