I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! favourite Brian Conley has been forced to leave the jungle for 'medical reasons'.

The 51-year-old has become the first celebrity to walk from the show prematurely.
After he decided to walk on Monday night, his family are said to have flown to Australia to be by his side following him contracting a mystery illness.
An ITV spokeswoman said: 'Brian Conley has left the jungle due to medical reasons.'
But his sudden departure has sparked confusion among viewers, who watched him dance around for a variety performance with former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts on Saturday's show.

His exit also follows a bout of apparent weight loss after a week of living on rice and beans.
Concerns over how Brian was coping in the jungle were raised when he broke down in tears following a confrontation with David Haye, when the heavyweight boxer flicked two logs onto a fire in the forest.
He then proceeded to annoy fellow campmates when he told new arrival Rosemary Shrager some of them thought she was rude when she told Haye she wasn't a fan of boxing.

Conley had previously been the favourite to walk away the winner ahead of Eastenders actress Charlie Brooks.
As Brian left camp, jittery Helen Flanagan, 22, secured five meals for her campmates in her seventh bushtucker trial.
In the 'bad day at the office' task she retrieved stars through a blanket of cockroaches using her teeth. The actress also had to drink a mug of blended mealworms and eat a stick insect.

Meanwhile, Tory MP Nadine Dorries, 55, said being in the Celebrity jungle had taught her that 'parliament should learn to laugh more'.
She added: 'This has been so amazing for me. I realised that I have laughed so much.
'I realised that the day I entered politics is the day I stopped laughing.

'I've also realised, because people might say you're with a load of celebrities, but a lot of people in here apart from Hugo are from very normal backgrounds.'
Made In Chelsea star Hugo Taylor, who previously revealed that he didn't get on with the MP, answered back: 'What's not normal about my background? Why should I be excluded?' to which Nadine said: 'You're in the top two per cent, so you're not normal.'

Campers took part in a challenge called 'token of affection' to get immunity from the first public vote.
Taylor also clashed with Rosemary Shrager over that night's dinner as the pair tried to prepare crocodile legs for the campmates.
Hugo ended up in tears after Schrager blasted him as 'rude'. However the two managed to patch things up.

When Scharger wasn't winding up Hugo, she was getting boxing lessons from David Haye, and a crash course in dance moves from Ashley.
The celebs were also paired off into boxes where they had to drop coins into a box using a magnet.
Flies were flooded into the tiny space after seconds, and whenever someone completed the challenge, the other celebs were given an electric shock.
Ant and Dec later delivered the news of who would be facing the next bushtucker trial.
The camp let out a massive cheer when Helen Flangan was given the day off, with the task instead falling to Hugo.
