Anne aces her medical test
I’ve taken the time to go into the science of it. This is the way forward NOEL EDMONDS ON HIS UNUSUAL HEALTH REGIME
ANNE Hegerty made an emergency exit during the Hellish Hospital Bushtucker Trial but still managed to bag seven stars.
The Chase star, 60, entered to find a bed and cupboards filled with spiders and crabs, with stars hidden amongst them.
In a second room, more stars were mixed in with offal and critters. She then had to go through a tunnel with a monitor lizard – which was when she shouted: “I’m a celebrity... Get me out of here!”
Anne was praised by campmates. And on Good Morning Britain yesterday, her close pal and The Chase co-star Mark Labbett explained how she was checked thoroughly before going into the jungle – with the cost apparently running into tens of thousands.
He said: “The medical they go through, Anne is 60 years old, not 21. The rigorous checks, the medical must have cost £20,000 to £30,000 per person.
“They can’t take any risks. If they say she can’t do a trial for medical reasons, it has got nothing to do with her Asperger’s.”
Mark also explained why Anne quit her first trial, winning just two stars. He said: “She reacts terribly to the unexpected, the first trial threw her.”
