Those pesky buggers have driven the youngest Baldwin Brother out of the Costa Rican jungle — and we’re not talking about Heidi and Spencer.

After abruptly quitting the NBC summer reality series I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here in the last leg of the competition last Friday, Stephen Baldwin is sounding off on what sent him packing.

Stephen says he was forced to quit the show after insects harvested eggs beneath the surface of his skin.

“It’s the absolute creepiest thing that you can think of,” says Stephen whose skin still crawls when he thinks about bug-biting adventure in the Costa Rican jungle.

“I suffered in the first eight days of production, while in the jungle, over 125 insect bites on my body,” he told Kevin McCullough, co-host of Baldwin/McCullough Xtreme Radio, in an intervview Sunday.

“And two of them – much to my surprise – became kind of lumpy initially. Within 72 hours they were these kind of half-dollar-size lumps under my skin that were probably about an inch thick. [The] reactions just weren’t the same as the other 123, so to speak.”

“I did get to take some time with the medic, who explained to me that, in his opinion, he didn’t think that is was the ‘implantation of insect larvae into my flesh,’ but that – oh, gosh – that’s what it could be,” he explains.

“So… they tested these things and, sure enough, Stevie B. was ‘pregnant.’”

Stephen Baldwin has quit I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Access Hollywood has confirmed.

He is the fourth castmember to quit the NBC summer reality series.

The youngest of Hollywood’s Baldwin Brothers, packed his bags and waved buh-bye to the rat and snake-infested Costa Rican jungle without much explanation on Friday morning.

Stephen had been a strong contender to win the competition, which ends next week.

They’re baaack! Terrible twosome Speidi will return to the jungles of Costa Rica for the finale of NBC’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Entertainment Tonight has learned.

A source told ET on Thursday that reality couple Heidi & Spencer Pratt, who left the show after quitting three times, will head back to Costa Rica on Sunday or Monday for the explosive season finale.

The I’m A Celebrity… finale will air on Wednesday, June 24.

Former American Idol Season 6 contender Sanjaya Malakar insisted he is not gay on Tuesday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

The subject of Sanjaya’s sexuality was brought up after Janice Dickinson suggested the 19-year-old should put on some “guy-liner.”

“I just feel like she wants you to be gay or something,” Holly Montag — with whom Sanjaya is obviously smitten — remarked after the incident.

“She really does. Like, yeah, a lot of people want me to be their gay best friend and I make a really good gay best friend, but I, don’t like guys, so it confuses people,” Sanjaya explained.

Sanjaya may not be gay, but he can identify with the alternative community.

“I connect with gay people really well because we understand each other I’m like, ‘Hey!’ and they’re like, ‘Oh, hey!’ and I’m like, ‘No, but I’ll hang out with you,” the singer said.

“I do hair and I’ll sit in the corner and knit, so it confuses people,” he said. “A lot of my friends refer to me as their ‘straight gay best friend’ because we’ll go do things that stereotypically you would do with a gay guy.”

The young man believes people sometimes question his sexuality because of how he grew up — as well as his attention to manscaping.

“I’m not like that classic, stereotypical macho guy that’s like, ‘Oh yeah! Oh, she’s hot. I wanna get in her pants!’” he said. “I’m not that kind of guy. I was raised by women so I kind of have a connection with my feminine side, but I’m attracted to women so it’s like, people like to kind of throw that at me, like, ‘Oh, you must be gay’ but I’m like, ‘Whatever, gay people are awesome.’”

Al for President! Today Show “weatherman” Al Roker is defending his controversial interview with reality TV personalities Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt. Al lit up the blogosphere on Monday after the Hills stars accused the NBC correspondent of “attacking” them during their post-I’m A Celebrity… interview on The Today Show this week.

Al stands by his decision to rake the newlyweds over the coals with hard-hitting questions, telling co-host Meredith Vieira that he “asked what a lot of people wanted to know” during yesterday’s sit-down.

And to Spencer’s declaration that he would have ripped Al’s “head off” save for the fact that he “was recently saved by Jesus,” Roker simply replies: “I would have dumped him like a bag of dirt.”

In case you care, Daniel Baldwin became the second contestant evicted from the Costa Rican jungle on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here on Thursday night.

“Coming home babe,” Daniel said referring to his pregnant wife, Joanne. “See you guys.”

Holly Montag, who recently joined the cast as a replacement for her ill sister, Heidi, told the departing Daniel that the group would do what they could to help out his charity of choice.

Daniel had been competing for his mother’s breast cancer charity, The Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund.

“Whatever we can do for your mom’s organization,” Holly said as she hugged Daniel goodbye. “Great cause.”

Introducing what could be reality television’s “Most Unlikely New Couple” — Sanjaya Malakar and Holly Montag.

That’s right, kids. We hear the long-suffering older sister of The Hills’ Heidi Montag is reportedly dating Sanjaya, best known for his off-beat performances and scene-stealing hairstyles on season 6 of American Idol.

“They’ve been spending a lot of time together,” a spy on the set of the NBC summer series told OK! on Thursday. “She’s even admitted to having a little crush on him!”

“Sanjaya and Holly created the name ‘Sanjolly’ sometime earlier this week,” the insider giggles.

NBC executives are desperately trying to get Spencer Pratt back on the cast of I’m A Celebrity…Get me Out of Here!, Life & Style Weekly has learned.

“NBC lawyers are vetting his contract to see if it is possible to allow him back into the jungle again — and that it doesn’t go against the rules of the game.”

The Hills villain quit the Survivor-esque summer reality series for the fourth time after his wife, the equally annoying Heidi Montag, fell violently ill during a challenge — early rumors claimed the blonde had been tortured by show staff. We are now hearing that show producers want to get Spencer back on the show to force him to face off against his frenemy sister-in-law, Holly Montag, who has joined the cast in the Costa Rican jungle and is expected to replace her younger sister Heidi.

Heidi, 23, is out of the hospital, but still too weak to return to the set.

“The producers know everyone is watching the show to see what chaos Spencer is causing, so they are doing everything they can to work it out,” a secret set mole informed L&S late Tuesday. “Spencer likes the idea now that he knows Heidi is okay.”

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are officially done with NBC’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here after Monday night’s episode showed Heidi being taken to a hospital after suffering a stomach ailment in Costa Rica.

A clip on Monday night’s show featured a doctor in the Costa Rican hospital telling the reality star that an ultrasound had come back negative, and it did not appear to be anything serious.

“Everything seems to be normal by the ultrasound, so it does seem to be more like we were thinking – a gastric ulcer or gastritis,” the doctor told Heidi.

While at the hospital, Spencer spoke about the couple’s decision to quit the show, for the fourth time in two weeks.

“We gave it our all in the camp, but now it’s about health. Doctors are going to be with her the next three days,” Spencer told the cameras. “At the end of the day, we went back in and proved to ourselves that it wasn’t just about us – it was a life-changing experience.”

Prior to the announcement, a clip was shown of Spencer and Heidi speaking with one of the show’s producers, admitting the contest was different from what they had imagined.

“We’ve never really lived in a jungle! I thought we were all going to be chilling at your hotel, we’d come to the jungle, we make drama, we’d do all these crazy stunts, we’d sleep on cots for a little bit, we’d go back,” Spencer ranted. “Like, no one told us we were really guinea pigs.”

Fellow castmember Lou Diamond Phillips broke the news to the rest of the contestants.

“They will not be coming back to camp. They are no longer a part of this competition,” the actor told the rest of the cast, relaying information he had received from producers. “They are gone.”
