The ex-EastEnders star, who was admitted to hospital after collapsing twice on her first day in camp, is thought to be back on the mend but producers have decided not to risk letting her back on the show.
"We have given a great deal of thought and consideration to Elaine's situation and have decided that she won’t be returning to the jungle," said a spokesman.
“The detailed investigations carried out by separate doctors over the last two days have shown her to be in good health. "But ITV has a responsibility to all of the celebrities taking part in the show and given what has happened to Elaine on two separate occasions in as many days, and knowing what challenges lie ahead in the show, ITV has decided to err on the side of caution.
"Elaine has reluctantly agreed to withdraw from I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!???
A replacement is expected to arrive shortly.
