Some people just aren't cut out for camping. And apparently, the conditions of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here are too much for the Pratts. TMZ is reporting that Heidi Pratt was convulsively vomiting after being held in a dark room for day causing her to develop an ulcer. Seriously.

After she and her husband Specer left the show and then begged to come back, the duo were "punished" by being forced to stay in a dark room for a day and a night with only water, rice and beans.

TMZ reports that a cast member described the conditions as "the same as Guantanamo Bay."

After spending time in the room, Heidi was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with a gastric ulcer. NBC  execs had tried to convince Heidi to stay on the set rather than take an ambulance. She has now left the hospital and is on meds and wants off the show for good. Spencer has apparently fired his lawyer, who has been trying to convince him to stay on the show, and now wants to sue NBC. However, they signed a contract with NBC and are apparently stuck there. Reportedly, other cast members also want off but NBC is holding their passports.

    Several things… Heidi is already out of the hospital (she wasn't even in that long). She was not hospitalized for their seclusion in the hut. Heidi got ill after a challenge that was filmed on Saturday. Spidi were only secluded in the hut for a couple of hours (not days) so there would be footage of them in the room that could be shown. The cast voted for them not to be allowed to return, but the network made the final decision of course. During the time Spidi was secluded in the hut they were 'plotting and planning' their next way to get time out of the jungle (having already spent more time at the local resort nearby than in the jungle). They didn't even seem to realize that they were being recorded because they were being horribly foul about the cast, crew and network. The only reason they returned in the first place is because they were informed they would be in breach of contract for quitting the show without being voted out. The cast has been upset about Spidi being allowed to return because they were told (on air) that it was their choice, yet even though they decided against their return the producers allowed their return (controversy creates ratings). Several cast members said they plan to reveal the whole truth after the show ends.
