Looks like I’m a Celebrity didn’t pay Stephen Baldwin nearly enough for his time. The actor was forced to file for bankruptcy yesterday after digging himself into over $2.3 million of debt.

Last month, when tabloids started reporting on Stephen’s financial troubles, the actor shot back, accusing sources of making up stories to ruin his image.

Stephen’s bankruptcy papers show that he currently owes around $1.2 million on the mortgages for two houses. He’s also in the hole for over $1 million in taxes and has substantial credit card debt.

Stephen Baldwin has finally revealed the reason for his departure last week from I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Outta Here. According to Stephen, he left the reality show after medics discovered that bugs had been laying eggs under his skin. Stephen told blogtalkradio,

I suffered in the first eight days of production, while in the jungle, over 125 insect bites on my body… I had about thirty on my left leg… 25 or 30 on each arm, kind of all over and two of them, much to my surprise, became quite lumpy initially.

Within about 72 hours they were these half dollar-sized lumps under my skin that were probably about an inch thick and were situations where they just weren’t a reaction that were the same as the others - 123 so to speak.

I did get to take some time with the medic who explained that in his opinion at that point he didn’t think that it was the ‘implantation of insect larvae into my flesh’, but that - oh gosh - that’s what it could be… So they tested these things and sure enough, Stevie B was ‘pregnant.’

Medics ended up removing the larvae from Stephen’s body, and he’s now recovering from the procedure.  Video of the insect removal will be available soon.
