A group of contestants sat in the communal area heard Ms Petria’s screams and ran over to intervene, but even after they were pulled apart she continued to try to kick the 24 year old.
At one point, the broadcasters cut to an ant mound instead of showing the sickening attack.
Eventually, Mr Blumenkranz grabbed his wife and put her into a headlock before the other contestants pushed her away.
