Richard Madeley will reportedly take home £200,000 after being forced to quit I'm A Celebrity.
The Good Morning Britain host became unwell in the early hours of Thursday and was later taken to hospital.
The 65-year-old is said to be "absolutely fine", but because he went to hospital he has broken the show's coronavirus "bubble" rules and was therefore not allowed back into camp.

A spokesperson for I'm A Celebrity said: "Our strict Covid protocols means Richard has sadly had to leave the show as he is no longer in the bubble the celebrities form when entering the castle.
"He has been a truly brilliant campmate and we thank him for being part of this series."
Richard said he understood why he couldn't return, but was later said to be "livid" at the decision.
Having spent just four days in the Welsh castle, Richard is expected to still be paid his fee in full, an estimated £200,000.
The Daily Mail said as he did not quit of his own accord, it is thought he will get his full salary.
