After getting an injury on I’m A Celebrity, one star is getting ready to sue ITV and others have been contacting a celebrity law firm to get some assistance with their own cases
ITV are bracing themselves for a flood of lawsuits after I’m a Celebrity… star Janice Dickinson told how she was suing them over an injury she got on the show.
The legal firm representing the veteran supermodel has been inundated with stars seeking advice over their own TV ordeals, a source says.
Celebrity law firm Taylor Hampton has been flooded with calls from big names – wanting to discuss injuries, alleged misconduct behind the scenes and what they see as a lack of “duty of care” across shows such as Big Brother and Love Island.
The source added: “It’s been non-stop since Janice went public. As she’s an international celebrity, the news has gone around the world and she’s shown that even ITV can be challenged. That’s made other stars feel they can finally speak up.”
It was reported this week that Janice, 70, is suing ITV for £700,000 after suffering serious head and facial injuries while on the show in 2023.
Janice – who was first on I’m a Celeb in 2007 – was appearing in an all-stars version filmed in South Africa when she tripped in the night on the way to the toilet.
Insiders claim a nightlight in camp had not been switched on. Janice told an interviewer: “ITV need to take some responsibility. My face was all cut up. It was the most frightening night of my life.”
She claimed she was left to bleed in the dark for 10 minutes. Janice added: “ITV had a duty of care and let me down big time.”
Janice – who brands herself the world’s first supermodel and has dated Sylvester Stallone, Mick Jagger and Warren Beatty – has filed her claim at the High Court in London.
Bosses now fear a wave of lawsuits across shows from Love Island to Big Brother and even The Voice. Janice is not the first celebrity to sue over an injury on an ITV show.
TV presenter Rav Wilding won a five-figure sum from production firm Twofour after being seriously hurt on diving show Splash! in 2013.
