I'm A Celeb: Shane Richie reveals show was almost cancelled
EastEnders star Shane Richie, 56, might have proved triumphant in his harrowing trial on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!, but the star certainly paid the price for it.
The star took on the Sickening Stalls trail and was confronted with six repulsive drinks to consume.
Richie had suffered for three days with a stomach bug after the trial.
Speaking to Ant and Dec about his ordeal after his exit, Richie explained: “Do you know about the repercussions after that, was it covered on the show?”
“We know you had a dodgy belly yeh,” Ant replied.
To which Richie said: “My stomach for three days, I was a mess.”
He continued: “I remember walking out one time going to the toilet, whether it was wind or water, excuse me.
“Then going back to bed and then coming back out 10 minutes later and it was sunshine, and I was thinking, ‘What time is it?’
“I was a mess for three days.”

The cause for Richie’s stomach woes could be blamed for an array of bizarre items he was made to drink.
His first beverage entitled Eggs-Spresso was made from blended fermented duck eggs.
Richie also drank blended pig’s vagina and blended sheep’s anus.
One viewer had tweeted about the grotesque sight and said: “This is one of those trials that I can barely watch. Horrific.”
“An upset stomach is very common and may be related to any number of health issues,” explained Dr John Boger, Geisinger gastroenterologist.
“Often it goes away on its own; other times it might be a symptom of something more serious.
“It is always important to keep track of what you eat, especially when dining out for a meal.
“Symptoms of food poisoning can often kick in within hours of eating contaminated food.
“These often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain.
“Most often food poisoning is mild and will clear up within a few days and without treatment.
“Monitor your status and seek medical attention if symptoms persist or become more severe.”
Gastroenteritis and food poisoning can cause upset stomach and nausea with vomiting, said Medicine Net.
The health site added: “If fever is also present, chills and other symptoms can develop.
“If you are having digestive symptoms that do not improve, talk with your doctor to determine the cause.
“Symptoms for food poisoning are fever, abdominal pain, headache, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting.”
Richie revealed on Friday that he felt “numb and broken” after a tough time with his stomach issues.
He told his fellow campmate Beverley Callard that he was completely exhausted after spending most of the night on the toilet.
Fortunately, he made a full recovery and with a stone in weight lost, now looks better than ever.
If you suspect you may have food poisoning its important to drink plenty of fluids, rest up and try to stay at home as much as possible until you begin to feel better.
