HARRY Redknapp has revealed why Nick Knowles was heard frantically asking for a medic during Anne Hegerty's I'm a Celebrity exit.

The new King of the Jungle told The Sun exclusively that the DIY SOS star made the call on his behalf because he feared he was having a stroke after one side of his face swelled up.

Harry, 71, explained: "An insect got into my lip, I didn't even know.

"They said, 'What's happened?' My face has swelled up on one side, but I wasn't having a stroke thankfully."

Viewers thought that a medical emergency was unfolding last week after hearing Nick, 56, urging his fellow stars to get Medic Bob into camp “as soon as possible”.

Many missed Nick’s cry for help as it was barely audible but some fans overheard him and after watching back, the DIY SOS star can clearly be heard requesting aid.

Speaking into his mic, Nick whispered: “Gallery, if anybody is listening. I think this is fairly important. "We need to see (Dr) Bob as soon as possible, as soon as Anne’s crossed the bridge.

A TV insider told The Sun Online at the time that everyone in the camp was fine.
