Supermodel Janice Dickinson has filed a lawsuit against ITV Studios claiming permanent facial damage from a nasty spill while filming 'I'm a Celebrity... South Africa.' Photos obtained by TMZ reveal the shocking aftermath of her 2023 jungle mishap. She's seeking six figures in damages after tripping in the dark.
Oh honey, grab your popcorn because Janice Dickinson, the original supermodel firecracker, is spilling more than just tea this time—she's suing ITV Studios for what she calls a life-altering tumble on 'I'm a Celebrity... South Africa' back in 2023. According to her lawsuit filed in September 2025 by London-based Taylor Hampton Solicitors (the same firm that reps A-listers like Hugh Grant and Elton John), Janice claims she suffered head and facial injuries after tripping while heading to the toilet at night in the show's jungle camp. The photos TMZ snagged? Brutal. Her forehead, nose, lips, and chin look busted, bruised, scratched, and scabbing over—talk about a reality check! 😩
Sources close to Janice tell TMZ she was "absolutely devastated" upon learning her face was permanently deformed with nerve damage. She felt "humiliated" and stayed mum for ages, even as online sleuths speculated it was a stroke. "Janice loved being on the reality show but 'this wasn't what she signed up for,'" insiders dish. Her UK rep, Dermot McNamara, confirms: "Janice is fully committed to this legal process and seeing it through to its conclusion."
But wait, the drama doesn't stop there—ITV Studios is clapping back hard. A spokesperson tells TMZ: "'I'm A Celebrity' operates a high level of safety protocols and the health, safety and welfare of all of our contributors are our number one priority." They add, "We don't recognise this version of events. However, we looked after Janice at the time, paid her medical expenses, flew her home to LA, and the I'm A Celebrity team were in regular contact with Janice and her representatives on an ongoing basis after she returned home to America until after the programme aired seven months later."
(Note: One report mentions the fall in 2022, but most details align on 2023 filming.) So, is this jungle jaunt turning into a legal safari, or will Janice get her glow-up justice? Stay tuned, darlings— the tea is piping hot! 🔥
