Britney Spears’ ex, Kevin Federline, was taken to hospital while filming a weight loss reality show in Australia, Excess Baggage.

He’s piled on the pounds since their split, which was the reason for his signing up for the show. He was taken to hospital after falling ill during an Aussie Rules football challenge.

His condition was initially thought to be serious, but after tests he was given the all-clear and discharged. Next on his list of things to do? Visit a cardiologist.

A spokesman for the reality show told the Herald Sun: “Excess Baggage contestant Kevin Federline has been given the all-clear after spending the day in medical care.”

“Kevin and producers became concerned with his extreme pulse rate and abnormal heart beat during a week six challenge of the program. The program medic took the action of calling an ambulance so that a hospital could assess his well-being. After more tests, he was released late last night.”

It was thought that K-Fed would have to pull out of the fat camp after this health scare, but he seemed confident after his check-up.
He told waiting photographers in Sydney that he was ‘all good’ and ‘ready to win’ the programme.

The spokesman said Federline was expected to return to filming the programme this Friday.
