Heidi and Spencer Pratt are not being tortured by the producers of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!
"There have been many reports that surfaced over the weekend regarding Spencer and Heidi Pratt," their rep said in a statement released this afternoon. "Many of these reports are false and inaccurate, including any reports of 'torture' on the show."
The rep confirmed that Heidi had been taken to a hospital on Saturday "because she was not feeling well. She has been released...and is doing well." There's still no official word on exactly what was ailing her.
The newlyweds remain in Costa Rica. "She's out, but she has to go back for more tests and treatments," a source told me.
NBC has yet to comment on allegations that the show's producers had locked Heidi away for three days without food or water before she was rushed to a local hospital.
While Spencer's sister, Stephanie, claims the couple was horrifically mistreated (she was the one who initially tweeted the torture allegation), a show insider says the accusations are grossly incorrect...
No surprise, but all the publicity whores everyone involved says watch tonight's episode of the rumble in the jungle reality show to find out what really happened.
Another source said the Pratts have threatened a lawsuit against NBC and the producers with the network already prepared to countersue.
"It was reported the Pratts have fired their legal counsel," the couple's rep also said. "This is inaccurate."
