I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp host Joel Dommett was rushed to hospital with a head injury yesterday after he was hit by a show sign during rehearsals.
Joel posted a picture of himself receiving treatment in hospital as he revealed why he missed Tuesday nights show.
As the jungle was pretty windy yesterday props were blowing around the set with one hitting Joel in the head resulting in him having seven stitches.
Writing on Instagram Joel said: "Unfortunately due to unforeseen windy circumstances blowing the set onto my head during rehearsals, I won't be able to present Extra Camp this evening.

"I had seven stitches like a big brave boy and I'll be back tomorrow. To be honest I'm less worried about my health and more worried that the show will be better without me.
"Half a day off school to go home and watch neighbours! Woo! GOOD LUCK @scarlettmoffatt and @realjoeswashy."
Joel also explained that he was wearing co-host Scarlett Moffat's hoodie when the prop hit him on the head and apologised to her for getting blood on it.
