Overview
- Legal documents lodged by Taylor Hampton in London’s High Court seek damages over injuries Dickinson says she suffered during the South Africa series filmed in 2022.
- Dickinson alleges an ITV-employed medic provided sleeping medication that can cause drowsiness and impaired balance, contributing to a night-time fall in camp.
- Doctors cited in the claim say she has lasting facial scarring, deformity and nerve damage that they consider not correctable by surgical or non-surgical means.
- ITV says it does not recognise her version of events and states it provided care, paid medical expenses, flew her home to Los Angeles and kept in contact after her return.
- Industry reports note concern that the case could prompt further claims from former contestants and potential changes to participant waivers.
