Speaking after he was evicted from he show on Friday Nick said: "It was a concern because Harry had a bite on his lip and it had swollen up the night before so I asked to see Medic Bob so it didn’t turn nasty. We get cream.
"The mosquito bites are particularly bad and the girls seem to have suffered the worst of it."
TV presenter Nick, who became a leader around camp also revealed that Fleur suffered a bad reaction to the biting green ants in the trials.
He said: "The worst was with Fleur and the green ants, every time they got ants on her she got a big reaction, rashes all up her arms and on her neck, and she was given cream and anti-histermines and then these rashes and then she would go and do another trial.
