I’m A Celeb star Jess Eva is living out my worst fucking nightmare as she’s been rushed to hospital after experiencing “insufferable” pain due to, wait it, BUGS stuck in her EARS.
Her co-host Lawrence Mooney shared the update on their radio show this morning as she failed to show up for work due to “insufferable” pain.
“If you’ve been following Jess in the jungle, she was talking about having bugs in her ears and then had those syringed out by a doctor and there was some pupae or larvae in there and fully grown bugs, so she had quite a menagerie in her ears,” Lawrence Mooney said on air this morning.
“That situation has become critical and she is now on morphine because the pain has become insufferable overnight.”
In a previous segment, Jess gave her shocked co-host an insight into what she was dealing with.
“When I was in the jungle my ears started to hurt and I went to the medic a bit and then over time it got worse and worse to the point where I couldn’t sleep, there was so much pain,” Eva shared with co-hosts Lawrence Mooney and Chris Page.
“I reckon I lost about 30-40 per cent of my hearing on Monday/Tuesday. I could hear ringing and a lot of pressure, so obviously what was in there was already dead, but it was getting worse and worse,” she said.
“I went to the doctor Wednesday … and she flushed it out, and when she flushed it out there were these little bugs with wings,” she said, describing the critters as like “miniature dogs with wings”.
“I don’t know what they are,” she said, adding that the bugs were taking up space in both ears.
“I think I might’ve got it from the pool (on I’m A Celeb). There’s a big lake pool that gets a little bit manky sometimes with bugs in it,” Eva said.
Five days ago Eva updated fans on Instagram and said she was still having problems with her ears.
“They only sucked out the jungle bug WINGS from my ears!” Eva wrote. “After increased ear pain over the last week, I went back to the doctor today. She said she’ll wash them out again.
“When she started to wash them out I heard a huge, ‘OH MY GOD! What is that!’ On further inspection these huge, slimy, weird things were some sort of creature.
“‘I think we just got the wings last time,’ the doctor said! The doctor also said the antibiotic drops I was using must have freed the little buggers up!”
I’m A Celeb continues tonight on Ten at 7.30pm.
