He was seen throwing up before walking out early in last night’s first episode of the new series.

His exit was not explained on the Channel 4 show — but singer and actor John has blamed it on eating vegan sandwiches.
The 57-year-old, who lost his ITV judging role in 2021 over flashing allegations, said it had been the only food offered before the first task in New Zealand.
He told The Sun: “I’m not a vegan or a vegetarian, but they made everybody eat vile tofu.
“I would never eat tofu in my life, but you’re so hungry, you just eat it.”
Barrowman, who has motion sickness, then endured a two-hour car journey to the site of the task.
He said “Then it was projectile vomit everywhere and the tofu came up. I thought, ‘I’m not going to make myself ill or hurt myself in order to try to prove something that I don’t need to prove’.
“And it was seriously me going: ‘I am completely comfortable with who I am.
“I’m completely a happy person. We’ve all got our issues and problems, but I’ve made a mistake.’”
Meanwhile, writer Rachel Johnson said she broke a rib during a challenge on the show, but chose to “power on through”.
Previous celebrities who’ve quit due to ailments include Towie’s James Argent, who got trenchfoot, and Geordie Shore’s Marnie Simpson who had a wound on her breast become infected.
