He’s the most important man in the jungle camp, ensures a good mood and, above all, Dr. Bob for the health of the candidates. But what does the man actually have in his black secret pocket?
Again and again Robert McCarron – that’s the name of the jungle doc – sneaks into the camp to check on things. BILD waves the top fit 72-year-old out – bag check, dr bob!
The tools of Dr. bob
► Otoscope (ear mirror)
dr Bob to BILD: “I always have it with me when the animals crawl into body openings such as the candidate’s ear or nose. I discovered cockroaches in Kim Gloss and Daniele Negroni’s ears and was then able to get them out with a large pair of tweezers.
► Syringe
dr Bob: “One of the things I use this big syringe for is getting something in the eye of a celebrity. Then I rinse everything off with it. The syringe is also used to force water up the celebrity’s nose if a cockroach climbs in.”
► Headlamp
dr Bob: “It’s also very important to have a headlamp with you because sometimes you have to look down the throat of a celebrity. I also use the flashlight when the celebrities are scared in a dark situation because when they see my light they know I’m behind them.”
► Subjects
dr Bob: “This fan comes into play when our celebrities are overheated or hyper and need to cool down. The fan is also for me when I’m waiting for the exams.”
