'Celebrity Big Brother' viewers have hit out at TV bosses for showing footage of Janice Dickinson having a seizure.
The 60-year-old model was rushed to hospital after suffering a severe allergic reaction from a bee sting but viewers were horrified when Janice's ordeal was aired on Tuesday (02.09.15), as she appeared to have a fit after falling to the ground.
One viewer tweeted: "If that was genuine.. Should #Cbb have aired that? and another added: "Ok @channel5_tv, that was way too much to show on air. Janice fitting on Big Brother. Horrible. Gross. Not good. #CBB (sic)."
More comments included: "I really don't expect @bbuk to air that it was really scary I was so worried for Janice #cbb," "#CBB doesn't think it appropriate to show Tila Tequila getting her marching orders but do think it appropriate to show Janice having a fit" and "Omg that Janice footage should not of been shown. #CBB (sic)."
The frightening incident occurred after Janice, who has since returned to the show, asked producers to bring her an EpiPen - an injection used to treat allergies - or an antihistamine to the Diary Room after complaining that that her fingers had "turned black" due to the sting.
She explained: "I've just got bitten by a bee and my finger is swollen and it's going up my wrist."
A paramedic quickly arrived to treat the former 'America's Next Top Model' judge was encouraged to "stay calm," but she dramatically fell to the ground moments later.
The medic was overheard calling for further assistance, saying: "Janice appears to be fitting."
She was then escorted to a nearby hospital, where she spent approximately three hours.
A spokesperson for the reality TV show said: "Janice underwent medical treatment and returned to the house."

Kym Marsh would "love" to appear on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 'Coronation Street' actress - who was previously a member of pop group Hear'Say - is a big fan of the celebrity dance contest and would be thrilled to be asked to take part.
She said: "I'd love to appear on the show but I don't know if I'd be any good, as I don't have much in the way of balance."
Instead, Kym will be "glued to the screen" when her former 'Corrie' co-star Georgia May Foote takes to the dance floor for the new series of the show.
Writing in her column for OK! magazine, she shared: "I'll be glued to the screen to see Georgia May Foote star in 'Strictly Come Dancing' this weekend.
"Let's face it, she'll look fantastic in all the costumes as she's a gorgeous girl.
"I'm not sure if she had any dance experience before, but I don't blame her for giving it a go. Georgia is a beautiful girl and I wish her lots and lots of luck."

Peter Andre is studying Fred Astaire videos ahead of his 'Strictly Come Dancing' appearance.
The 'Mysterious Girl' hitmaker - who is favourite to win this year's show - has been preparing for the competition by watching old clips of the legendary performer.
He explained: "For the past 10 days I've been looking at clips of Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, the Nicholas Brothers and SammyDavis Jr. to see what they did to make the audience like their performances."
Though 'Strictly' will require a lot of work for Peter - who has children Junior, 10, and Princess, eight, with ex-wife Katie Price, and 19-month-old Amelia with spouse Emily MacDonagh - he won't let it interfere with family time.
He told HELLO! magazine: "I will have to be at the 'Strictly' studios early Saturday morning, but Saturday is pancake day in our family, so I won't be able to get away with not making them. I'll get up at 5am if I have to."
And the 42-year-old singer is hoping he won't have to dance to his own music.
He said: "I really hope they will never play that. Although I will try to do a mysterious twirl with a mysterious girl."

Sue Perkins has a benign brain tumour.
The 'Great British Bake Off' host has revealed doctors discovered a growth on her pituitary gland, which controls hormones in the body, eight years ago, but considers herself "lucky."
The 45-year-old comedienne said: "I'm lucky that it's benign so it's not in itself a worrying thing.
"Sometimes it's big and makes me mad, and sometimes it's small and is in the background.
"Sometimes it screws up my hormones. I have various tests now to make sure the side effects aren't too onerous."
But the TV presenter, who is in a relationship with Anna Richardson, believes it prevented her from having children.
She said: "We live in a time and place where we think everything is possible.
"I don't know if I would have gone on to have children. But as soon as someone says you can't have something, you want it more than anything."
Sue was diagnosed after undergoing routine medical tests to see how different diets impacted her health for the BBC series 'The Supersizers'.
She told Good Housekeeping magazine: "I was at a point where I was spending so much of my life doing TV that I only found out about my real life through a television procedure.
"I didn't have the time to go to the doctor in real life. That's what really made me think that the balance (in my life) was wrong."

Princess Diana's former butler is "apprehensive" about entering 'Celebrity Big Brother' tonight (01.09.15).
Paul Burrell will be spending a few days in the house, teaching the American housemates how to be good servants to their British rivals, who are set to become members of the reality TV show's Royal Family this week.
Speaking shortly before surprising the contestants, he said: "I'm apprehensive because it's a totally alien experience. I'm taking in a set of skills to educate the housemates. I'm not a real housemate though - I'm there to help so I'm not competing with them.
"I have met some of the world's most important people - Kings and Queens, Presidents and First Ladies, movie stars and The Pope. I wasn't intimidated by them, so I won't be intimidated by the people in the Big Brother House."
Paul, who also previously served as Queen Elizabeth's footman, will assign roles to each of the American housemates before teaching them how to deliver a silver service.
He added: "I'll try to teach them a little of what I know, whether it's service, manners, etiquette or, knowledge from my world that I learnt for many years by working with the Royal Family."
Despite being excited about appearing on the show, Paul doesn't think he will get along well with everyone.
He said: "I know I'm not going to be liked by everyone because no-one is, but I'm not a quitter. I like a challenge. I love people. There are some great characters in this house and there are people who I wouldn't normally meet in my life.
"You won't hear me swear, you won't see me naked, but I'm not shy and I stand up for what I think is right. It is important to have a voice so don't expect me to stand by and say nothing. I can't manage a Royal Household without having an opinion, and you can't be in the Big Brother House without having a strong character."

Simon Cowell is surprised after being selected to mentor the Over-25s category on 'The X Factor' this year.
The 53-year-old star admits he wasn't expecting to be given the group again after leading Ben Haenow to victory last December, but thinks he can still help this year's contestants "do great things."
Shortly after it announced which category each judge will mentor this series, the music mogul, who previously revealed he was hoping to secure the girls, wrote on Twitter: "Wasn't the category I was expecting. I did win last year with the Overs so I'm sure we will do great things this year."
The judges and categories were paired up by fans of the show for the first time ever this year, who voted via the social networking site.
Cheryl Fernandez-Versini will oversee the Groups, while new judges Nick Grimshaw will mentor the Boys and Rita Ora will look after the Girls.
Despite winning in 2014, Simon recently admitted he thought the last series was "irritating" and "predictable."
He explained: "It felt very predictable during the live shows. There were a load of people we knew weren't going to win who we just had to put through week after week. We knew one of them was itching to get out so he could go in the bloody jungle (Jake Quickenden) but that's just one example of why it was irritating.
"We did the room auditions, then you go to Wembley (for the arena stage) and it was like ground hog day. The same thing again but with a bigger crowd."
