Declan Donnelly needed medical attention after being bitten by a spider on the set of I’m A Celebrity. 

The presenter, 49, was checked over by professionals after noticing a mark on his neck. 

Speaking on Instagram Live, his co-host Ant McPartlin revealed: ‘We’ve had quite a lot of drama not only on the show, but off the show as well, because Dec had a spider on his neck and was bitten by a spider and the medic was called in to have a look.’

Dec then shared a picture of the spider he was bitten by – saying it jumped onto his script before biting his neck.

Joking about the incident, Dec shared: ‘The medic said I was lucky to be alive. If I wasn’t so fit and healthy, and masculine, I might not have survived.’

Yet Ant was quick to laugh: ‘No, she didn’t, she said it was a jumping spider and it was absolutely fine.’

Earlier in the evening, Tulisa became the third contestant to be voted off this year. 

The N-Dubz star looked visibly disappointed as her name was called as she found herself in the bottom two with Oti Mabuse after the public vote. 

Leaving the jungle to join Ant and Dec, the singer appeared deflated as she told the hosts: ‘I’m not going to lie like it is tough in there.’

And fans were left shocked at the result as they took to Twitter to share their surprise as they exclaimed: ‘Ahh Tulisa should have been there way longer’. 

They wrote: ‘Ahh Tulisa should have been there way longer’; ‘NOT TULISA’; ‘I’m baffled that Tulisa left tonight? Thought she was a finalist for sure’;

‘F*** OFF I thought Tulisa would last way longer. She was bloody lush, you can tell that not enough people are educated in the magic of n-dubz’;

‘Okay it’s not funny now get her back in’; ‘I didn’t see that coming’; ‘What do you mean Tulisa’s been voted off?!’;

‘TULISA IS GONE.’; ‘barry & melvin getting saved over tulisa… excuse me’; ‘Tulisa’s out but Maura and GK are still there…’; ‘How is tulisa 3rd out wanted her to win’;

Ant also had a run in with a spider on set earlier this week, sharing a video of a huge Huntsman nestling in the roof

‘I’ve always liked Tulisa ever since she first started out in N-Dubz, she’s been a great Camp Mate and she’s so lovely’; 

Another noticed Tulisa’s shocked reaction as they penned: ‘Think Tulisa is pretty shocked she’s out’. 

Meanwhile another fan wrote: ‘i refuse to believe that she got less votes than melvin’. 

Talking about her time in camp with Ant and Dec, Tulisa admitted: ‘It doesn’t feel real, I can’t believe what I just did.’ 

Asked what she has learnt about herself she added: ‘I don’t know, I guess just stay strong with your convictions and remain you.’

While Tulisa found herself in the bottom two with Oti, the singer confessed the professional dancer is her winner as she gushed: ‘She has been my rock, she is one of the most beautiful people I have ever met in my life. She is my soul sister.’
