I'm A Celebrity bosses are reportedly fearing they may lose more of the show's stars following Richard Madeley's departure on Thursday.
The series is said to have been thrown into chaos behind-the-scenes after three of the celebrities- Arlene Phillips, Naughty Boy and Frankie Bridge- have had to have urgent medical treatment.
It comes after Richard, 65, arguably the show's biggest signing, was forced to leave I'm A Celeb after being admitted to hospital and was unable to re-enter the castle after breaking the Covid-safe bubble.

Frankie, 32, is said to have developed a rash and has had to seek medical attention.

Medical treatment: Naughty Boy, real name Shahid Khan, is reportedly having counselling over his mother's health, while Frankie is said to have developed a rash
'It's hard enough roughing it in the ruins of an old castle let alone at 78 years old. She is a trooper and wants to show everyone how tough she is.'
The insider said Naughty Boy, real name Shahid Khan, is having counselling over his mother's health.
They said: 'He's been speaking to the show's psych team, led by Sandra Scott, on a specially set-up iPad to make sure he is staying upbeat, this is the longest he has been away from his mother since her diagnosis so they are keen to make sure he's not spiralling quietly.'
Also adding to producers worries is Frankie, who has reportedly been given an ointment to treat a rash- with doctors unsure about what has caused it.
Back on track: It comes after Arlene and Naughty Boy threatened to leave the competition earlier thsis week, with the music producer remarking: 'My time here is done!'
The source said ITV simply 'can't afford to loose any names- especially after Richard left the camp just four days after the show started.
MailOnline has contacted ITV for comment.
Arlene and Naughty Boy have both previously expressed their desire to leave Gwyrch Castle after struggling in breakout camp, The Clink.
The music producer had been particularly vocal about his desire to leave following the Treacherous Traps trial, with the star remarking: 'My time here is done!'
