Stephen Baldwin quits ‘I’m a Celebrity…’
June 22nd, 2009 | by admin |
The actor quit the reality TV after insects “impregnated” him.
Actor and reality TV star, Stephen Baldwin, quit NBC’s “I’m a Celebrity . . . Get Me Out of Here!” because insects reportedly laid their eggs under his skin. The season seemed to be favoring Baldwin and it was even thought he could win the whole thing on the season finale this week, but he left the jungles of Costa Rica unexpectedly, Saturday-with no explanation.
Reports are now indicating that the actor reveals he was bitten over 125 times by “flying critters.” He was told by a doctor that the insects had implanted larvae under his skin.
Baldwin told radio airwaves, “I suffered in the first eight days of production, while in the jungle, over 125 insect bites on my body. . . . I had about thirty on my left leg . . . 20 or 30 on each arm, kind of all over and two of them, much to my surprise became quite lumpy initially.”
Reportedly Baldwin was so fathomed by the process, that he video-recorded the medic team removing the larvae from his skin, which he described as “the creepiest thing that you could think of.”

This whole thing of “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here” gets more ridiculous each episode. Of course you dont stay around a jungle area without insect protection of some kind on your skin. (Even if its a make believe Hollywood set that the participants have to go into the jungle without anything from outside world) Ann at http://www.costaricalearn.com
