I’m a Celebrity’s Jess Eva is rushed to hospital because of her bug riddled ears

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star Jess Eva has been rushed to hospital after the pain in her bug-riddled ears became unbearable.

On Wednesday, her Triple M co-host Lawrence Mooney explained to listeners that Jess is currently in ‘intensive care’ after having a ‘menagerie’ of bugs syringed out of her ears by doctors over the past couple of weeks.

He said on Moonman in the Morning: ‘That situation has become critical, and she is now in intensive care on morphine because the pain has become insufferable overnight, so she is in hospital.’

‘Jess you can’t hear us, but our thoughts are with you,’ he added.

Co-host Chris Page stressed that Jess’ situation is serious, adding that she is ‘not a sickie sort of person’ and will still turn up to work even when she’s unwell.

Lawrence added that he was ashamed that he was ‘less than sympathetic’ to Jess when she first revealed her medical issue, recalling that he blatantly questioned her hygiene habits a few weeks ago.

Making up for his past remarks, he said: ”I’ll tell you what kind of a woman has bugs in her ears – a woman who’s in intensive care on morphine because the pain is so extreme.’

‘I feel a little bit shame-faced that I didn’t take it more seriously, I thought it was just that it was just a bit of a Jess wind-up,’ he added. 

‘But it has taken a turn for the worse, so our love to you Jess.’

Jess first revealed her medical issue on air two weeks ago after experiencing an uncomfortable sensation in her ear that led to significant hearing loss after filming I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in December.

At the time, she explained to her co-hosts that she suspected it came from the ‘manky lake’ she and the other celebrities swam in.

In the weeks that followed, Jess revealed on her social media that she had seen the doctor two more times who discovered that ‘slimy slug creatures’ managed to lay eggs inside her ear.

A photo on her Instagram showed two ‘Tic Tac-sized’ bugs, and she told her Triple M co-hosts on air at the time: ‘Out popped a couple of these slimy, weird slug creatures.

‘The doctor reckons they might have only got the wings off before, and this was the actual body of the slug.’

Jess explained the same thing happened in her other ear – and while she was feeling okay now, and added that she knows that at least one more is still lurking inside.

The former Block star began filming I’m a Celebrity back in November, and wrapped in December.
