Nicole Richie has blamed The Simple Life’s new mountain location for her recent collapses and dizzy spells on the set.

Nicole’s spokesperson has previously blamed hypoglycaemia but now Nicole has told OK magazine: “The hours I’m doing are really crazy right now and we’re working up in the mountains.”

“I was getting my hair and make-up done one morning and I turned the heat up to 90 degrees, which I know I probably shouldn’t have done - but I like it really hot in the room.”

“I hadn’t eaten breakfast and I asked for a bowl of cereal. But it had to go through 15 people to even get to me. I walked outside and I wasn’t feeling myself.”

Nicole was briefly hospitalised after fainting at the start of last month and according to on-set sources has had a number of woozy moments since then too.
