Health fears for Mark Watson on Celebrity Islands

Viewers will see Mark Watson collapse from starvation in the next edition of Bear Grylls' Celebrity Island.

His condition sparked concern among fellow competitors, not least Olympian Iwan Thomas, who commented: ‘Mark is just like a zombie’ 

In one scene Thomas is seen helping Watson to walk with an arm over his shoulder, and later he calls for a doctor after the comic says: I’m dying.’  A medic then attends to the stricken comic, who by now is crawling on the floor.

In a previous episode of the Channel 4 survival show, Shazia Mirza was knocked unconscious when she slipped on a rock while trying to fish for food.

The footage comes from the next episode of Celebrity Island, which continues next Tuesday at 9.15pm on Channel 4
