Spencer Pratt has denied what his own sister alleged: that he and his wife Heidi were tortured and left deathly ill while shooting 'I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!'

In a statement issued Monday by their rep, the savvy 'Hills' duo set things straight: "Many of these reports are false and inaccurate, including any reports of 'torture' on the show."

It goes on: "What we can say at this time is that Heidi went to a hospital in San Jose, Costa Rica, Saturday evening because she was not feeling well. She has been released from the hospital and is doing well. The couple remains in Costa Rica."

Pratt's sister, Stephanie, fueled the flames in the past few day by claiming her sister-in-law was "virtually on her death bed" and that they had been confined to "black rooms with no food or water." To top it off, they had "freakin' spider biting them."

TMZ reported over the weekend that Heidi was rushed to the hospital after "convulsively throwing up" on the set, according to some cast members, and her condition was the result of NBC's to attempt to punish the pair for their earlier decision to leave the show.

A statement from ITV Studios, which produces the series, calls the reports untrue. "ITV has been producing this format around the world for many years and the health of the celeb participants are of the utmost importance."

"A medic and a doctor are present at the location at all times for all participants. All allegations of the celebrities being deprived of food and water are completely untrue."
