I’m A Celebrity campmate Danielle Harold has revealed she was denied treatment when her hair started falling out on the ITV show.

The EastEnders star, 31, was the fifth campmate to be eliminated from the jungle, with Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson, also 31, eventually crowned champion.

However, while she made firm friends with the likes of Josie Gibson, the soap actor’s time Down Under wasn’t plain sailing as the conditions unexpectedly caused hair loss.

And when she asked producers for some treatment to assist with her thinning locks, she was politely turned down.

Danielle regaled this story on Wednesday’s Loose Women when she asked by panellist Jane Moore, 51, what the ‘worst’ part of reality show was.

The Pointless Celebrities star replied: ‘My hair was falling out! It was just so bad.

Giggling, Danielle continued: ‘Then I was like, “Can I get a treatment?” but they were like, “No sorry Danielle” so just being in the jungle is the biggest shock.’

Danielle previously revealed she almost had to bow out of I’m A Celebrity before the final as she was struck down with a worrying infection.

She nearly lost a stone as she fell ill but ‘powered through’ and refused to leave the jungle.

According to The Sun, Danielle told a friend: ‘I felt wiped out, so rough and unwell, but I was determined to stay in there, I hadn’t gone all that way for it to end like that.’

The Eastenders actress was told by medics she may have to go to hospital but opted to be monitored instead, until they saw an improvement in her health.

The insider continued: ‘Danielle fell ill at the start of the show and developed a really nasty infection which made her very unwell.

‘It was all kept off camera and she just kept powering through, Danielle was seen by the camp doctor several times.’

She fought through the mystery infection off-screen, with no hint to viewers she might be unwell, spending 20 days in camp.
