Samantha Fox, former I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here star is apparently receiving treatment after she was bitten by a rabid cat while on holiday in Thailand.

According to the Daily Star, Sam was at dinner with her partner and manager Myra Stratton on the island of Koh Samui when the cat “attacked” her.

Sam told the paper, “I love animals, especially cats, but over there they’re considered like rats and are left to fend for themselves.

“I ended up feeding a lot of them, giving them bits of shellfish after dinner. This one was laying on my feet and I thought we were getting on really well…

“So I went to stroke him but he bit me so hard it went down to the bone.”

Sam was immediately rushed to a medical centre and has continued to receive treatment in the UK since she got back home last week.

She added, “The treatment makes you feel sick and horrible. Really fluey and shaky.”

But it seems her unpleasant experience hasn’t put her off befriending stray animals, and in an interview with the Daily Mail, Sam said, “I’m still potty about animals, cats, dogs, foxes, whatever.”

But maybe not so much about the cats of Thailand now eh?
