Heidi and Spencer Torture Allegations Denied

By Chloe Bunker on June 8, 2009

LOS ANGELES — The production company behind NBC's "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!" have shot back at claims that Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were "tortured" during shooting.

On Sunday, TMZ reported that Montag was diagnosed with a gastric ulcer after being hospitalized Saturday while filming the summer reality series in Costa Rica. The illness came about after she and her husband were locked away in a dark room — a punishment for leaving the show earlier in the week. One cast member compared their lockdown to Guantanamo Bay, but ITV, the production shop behind the show, denied any wrongdoing.

"ITV Studios, producers of the series, state that press reports at this time are untrue,"  a rep for the production company told Access Hollywood in a statement. "ITV has been producing this format around the world for many years and the health of the celebrity participants are of the utmost importance. A medic and a doctor are present at the location at all times for all participants. All allegations of the celebrities being deprived of food and water are completely untrue."

Shortly after Montag was hospitalized, her sister-in-law, Stephanie Pratt, condemned NBC.

"I'm really saddened to hear that nbc felt it was ok to punish speidi so harshly-and torture them as if they were criminals-that Heidi was...rushed to the hospital and has an IV in her arm after being locked in a dark room for 3 days w no food or water. Pls pray she will be ok," she wrote on her Twitter page.

"Her family is flying out to see her in the hospital. I know they pulled some sh--ty antics-but really nbc?? Too far," she added.

A source denied that the pair was locked away for three days, telling Access that they actually spent only one night in the "Lost Chamber."

"The footage will show the Pratts to be liars," said the insider.
