Janice Dickinson is suing ITV bosses after she was injured during a fall on I’m a Celebrity.
The US model, 70, was forced to quit the South African series of the show in 2023 after suffering head and facial injuries when she tripped in the dark at the jungle camp.
She has now filed a personal injury claim against ITV, seeking damages at the High Court.
The documents – which list it as a personal injury claim – were filed on September 19.
The TV personality revealed in an interview at the time that she tripped and fell flat on her face while trying to find the toilet in the middle of the night.
She told The Sun’s TV Mag: ‘I was feeling very insecure because the campfire had gone out and it was as dark as it could be. So I thought: Right, I’ll make it to the dunny from memory.’

‘I walked a couple of steps and tripped, flying flat on my face – hair all over my forehead, my nose was bloody and my whole chin was gashed open.
‘Blood was gushing from all these areas, and there was dirt and stones embedded in my face from the fall.’
She added: ‘All I could feel was an intense head pain – from one to ten it was about a nine – and I was just lying there, moaning. It was a freak accident that happened so quickly.’
Luckily, Janice was found by Fatima Whitbread and Phil Tuffnell, who quickly picked her up off the floor and helped her back to the campsite.
The US star, who was ‘moaning and crying’ with pain, was then helped to her bed before a medic came into camp to assess her.
Janice recalled that she was taken to the medical hut where she was cleaned up and given pain relief.
She was then transported via ambulance, in which she was given a compress for her head and chin, to a ‘tiny hospital in the middle of nowhere’, while her husband Robert Gerner – who was already in South Africa – was called.
