At first it was feared the former backing dancer was suffering a heart attack.
Paramedics gave the star oxygen before taking him to hospital, where an ECG indicated he hadn't in fact suffered cardiac arrest.
Kevin, who was 17st at the start of the series, was kept at Sydney's Mt Druitt hospital for further tests.
A spokesperson for Channel 9 said: "Kevin was at Doonside with the Giants, completing an AFL-related challenge.
"He did his challenge, which was running and catching the ball, then while his (in-series weight-loss partner) was taking the same challenge, he reported chest pains and a racing heart.
