Sam reportedly suffered a reaction that caused her face to swell, leaving her looking ‘like an alien.’
A source connected to the popular reality show told The Daily Star: ‘the poor girl looked like something from a horror movie, like an alien.’
The usually glamorous Essex girl was shown in the latest episode of the reality series with an unsightly plaster over her face.
Symptoms reportedly started when Sam’s nose started running uncontrollably and producers called for medical help.
After Sam was examined by doctors they opted to keep an eye on her condition until the symptoms subsided.
The source continued: ‘she is so used to looking sexy and glam that she was really shaken and so were the other housemates.’
This is the second time Sam has had a health complaint in the house after suffering from an upset stomach.
Sam, who is a favourite to win the show, is facing eviction after being nominated by fellow housemates Jim and Liz.
Made in Chelsea star Ollie Locke has revealed that he would be ‘gutted’ if Sam left after admitting that he has developed feelings for the TOWIE star.
