80’s pop icon Samantha Fox has received medical attention inside the Celebrity Big Brother house after suffering from a distressing panic attack.

Bosses chose not to air the scene after deeming it ‘too distressing’ for viewers. An insider from the show told a national newspaper “Sam was not well at all. She was called to the diary room because they were concerned about her health. She had a full-blown panic attack. It got pretty serious and they were genuinely concerned.”

According to reports, the former model was given medication in order to calm her down and received treatment from medics to ensure she was ok.

The latest news comes after evicted housemate Heavy D told Emma Willis how much Sam was struggling during his interview on Tuesday night.

Speaking about Sam’s frame of mind, he said “Sam in on the brink. She is finding it difficult, she misses her mum too.”

Despite having a tough time, Sam was able to find comfort in her mum when she entered the house for the latest instalment of the new task. Housemates are getting their levels of concentration and willpower put to the test in the new challenge when Sam got a big surprise as her mum entered the house.

Sam’s mum isn’t the only person entering the house as part of the new shopping task. It was revealed that Bear’s ex-girlfriend Lillie Lexie Gregg will also enter in what promises to be an explosive showdown following his sexual antics with Chloe Khan.
