The family of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here contestant Rebecca Adlington are pleading with the show’s producers to tell viewers what her serious medical condition is.
Her condition has prevented her from taking part in the Bushtucker trials which has resulted in anger from the other contestants.
Sonia Adlington, Rebecca’s aunt, revealed that all the family are aware of what is wrong with Rebecca, but her uncle Tony added to the Daily Mirror: ‘We have been sworn to secrecy’.
He added: ‘Becky wants the public to know why she is being excused. We wish the producers would say the reason.’
Sonia said: ‘It’s not Becky’s choice. She wants to do the challenges – even eating grubs – but she is not allowed to do some of them on doctor’s orders.’
The nature of Rebecca’s medical issue is still shrouded in secrecy, but Sonia added that it is a condition that she has suffered from through years of swimming.
This admission has led to viewers thinking that the condition could be a form of asthma, which Rebecca previously said she suffers from.
She has said in the past: ‘I’ve had asthma since I was little. My type is exercise-induced and it’s common in swimmers.’
