A source told The Sun: "It was terrifying. Everyone was woken by a sickening thud. A few of the campmates ran towards the noise and found Janice face down. She seemed to be semi-conscious on the ground.

“Blood was gushing from her head and she was covered in dirt and dust. A crowd formed and one of the campmates had to ask everyone to stand back to give her space to breathe.

“The injuries were severe enough that she had to be taken to hospital by ambulance. The on-set medics are very good but this needed her going to a fully equipped hospital. There were fears that she had suffered a cracked skull but she was later given the all-clear by doctors.”

Janice was said to have been found with 'blood gushing from a head wound, having suffered concussion, a black eye, bruised cheeks, a split lip and fractures to her hands', before being rushed to hospital.

While Janice has reportedly pulled out of the show, all of the other celebrities taking part will remain including Happy Mondays star Shaun Ryder, Helen Flanagan, cricket legend Phil Tufnell, former royal butler Paul Burrell, Carol Vorderman, Jordan Banjo, Fatima Whitbread and Amir Khan.

Geordie duo Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly are also hosting the All Star series in Kruger National Park.
