Janice Dickinson Sues ITV for Negligence After 'I'm A Celeb' Injury and Mockery

Janice Dickinson, the 70-year-old US model and former contestant on I'm A Celebrity: South Africa, has filed a personal injury lawsuit against ITV after sustaining severe head and facial injuries from a nighttime fall in the jungle camp. Dickinson alleges negligence by ITV, claiming a safety night-light was left off and staff monitoring were inattentive, leading to her accident. As part of her legal case, she reviewed footage of the show and was shocked and hurt to hear campmates, including Phil Tufnell, mockingly refer to her as a "witch" and make derogatory comments, which were aired despite the severity of her injuries. A source close to Dickinson cited feelings of betrayal and humiliation, emphasizing the ageism and misogyny reflected in the campmates' remarks. Meanwhile, Olympian Fatima Whitbread, who had earlier expressed concern over Dickinson's safety, is cited as evidence that ITV failed its duty of care. ITV has responded by stating they will review the claims and maintain that they have high safety protocols and prioritize participants' welfare.
