NBC Denies Torturing Heidi and Spencer Pratt

The producers of ‘I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here‘ are slamming reports that Heidi and Spencer Pratt were tortured on the ‘Survivor’-esque show.

TMZ reported over the weekend that Heidi was rushed to the hospital after “convulsively throwing up” on the set, according to some cast members, and her condition was the result of NBC’s to attempt to punish the pair for their earlier decision to leave the show.

A statement from ITV Studios, which produces the series, calls the reports untrue.

“ITV has been producing this format around the world for many years and the health of the celeb participants are of the utmost importance.”

A medic and a doctor are present at the location at all times for all participants. All allegations of the celebrities being deprived of food and water are completely untrue.”

Heidi and Spencer opted to stay on the show, and unnamed cast members claimed that the network kept the couple in a dark room for a full day and night, giving them only rice, water and beans.

Reportedly, NBC’s Exec VP of Alternative Programming Paul Telegdy told Ryan Seacrest about holding Heidi and Spencer in isolation, saying, “…They are now going to be examined, and their value system utterly deconstructed …These people really are going to bare their souls.”
