Former MTV hostess Julie Brown is suing the U.S. production company that made the ABC reality TV show "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!"
The show, which ran two years ago, featured 10 celebrities roughing it in the Australian outback and competing in various challenges for a chance to become king or queen of the jungle.
In one of the challenges, Brown claims she had to get inside a tub full of leeches, a challenge that forms the heart of her suit against both ABC and the production company. She seeks $500,000 in damages.
Reality TV producer Brady Connolly says not only do contestants sign a stack of legal disclaimers, but participants have to know there's an inherent risk in competing in reality shows.
