Janice Dickinson‘s life was threatened during a broadcast of Celebrity Big Brother on September 1. The 60-year-old collapses on the set of the show as the cameras rolled. Janice had an allergic reaction and suffered a seizure after being stung by an insect in the house as shocked viewers watched the broadcast.
The former supermodel entered the room and was showing her hand while demanding immediate medical attention. She shouted to Big Brother: "I need an EpiPen, an EpiPen right away," as her fingers were severely swollen.
Janice Dickinson then showed her hand to the camera to show the color difference and shouted: "They're turning black! It is going up my hand. I don't want it to reach my heart"
Janice explains that she is allergic as Big Brother tells her she must keep breathing and try to stay calm.
As soon as a staffer arrived to check on the situation, they immediately called for an ambulance. However, while waiting for help to come, Janice looked like she had a seizure on the chair before she falling off of it. The producers briefly cut away from the scene before returning to it.
The camera then panned to presenter Emma Willis who assured viewers that after being treated, Janice was back to full health after the shocking scenes.
“The scare of it all thrusted her into a bit of a panic attack, however, she is now in good order,” a rep for Dickinson tells Page Six. “She is back playing the game in true Janice style.”
Just to get a clue about how serious the incident was, a source that was in contact with Janice revealed the model “almost died” from the allergic reaction. Janice didn’t have her EpiPen with her in the Celebrity Big Brother house, but after this event, show producers may make an exception for her.
