I'm A Celeb star Olivia Attwood's early exit from jungle and return rumours
Olivia Attwood started her I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! journey in the 2022 series but it was short lived as she was taken out the jungle and sent home over medical fears.
The former Love Island star flew all the way to Australia with every intention of putting her all into the show but she didn't last long. The 32-year-old was forced to leave the show after just one day insurers refusing to cover her stint.
Despite seeming in good spirits in the short time she was there, Olivia's low blood pressure and other alarming measurements meant that she couldn't continue staying in the jungle camp. She admitted she cried for 24 hours after being told she wasn't allowed to carry on.
Olivia was only on the show for a day (ITV/REX/Shutterstock)Speaking on an episode of Jamie Laing's Private Parts podcast the star – who made history as the first Love Islander to enter the jungle – explained her early exit. She said: "It was basically a massive f**k up really. I was in there, I was fine, and they do routine medicals every few days. They do them on site with the paramedics, and big hospitals would say [their measurements are] a guideline.
"We’d had a really long day and I’m always on the lower end of blood pressure because I’m tall and slim, and they just did all these tests late one evening, and they were just like, they were worried about these tests. They were like, 'Everything is really low'."

She went on to explain that she got the all-clear from the hospital, but insurers were worried that she could end up collapsing. She had also broken the Covid bubble which caused further issues as well.
Olivia said that the whole situation "didn't feel real" and that she was worried what others would think when she left. She wanted to show people she wasn’t an "airhead" and that she could "get my hands dirty".
The reality star worried that viewers of the show would think that she "came and had a look around and thought, 'f**k this'", with other rumours emerging that she was pregnant or "just didn't fancy it" – of which neither were true.
Due to not completing her time in the jungle last year, it has been rumoured that she could be joining the line-up for 2023. The show is just a few weeks away and multiple well-known names are among the rumoured cast.
Nothing has been confirmed yet but Olivia is one name which seems to be coming up multiple times. Olivia is currently a panellist on Loose Women but she could take a break to fly out to Australia to go and take on some Bushtucker trials.
Not one but two previous Prime Ministers could be among the line-up along with a Little Mix star. Liz Truss, Boris Johnson and Jade Thirlwall could be joining the likes of actor Danny Dyer, TV star Matt Baker, This Morning's Josie Gibson and Coronation Street's Alan Halsall in the jungle, according to reports.
Other potential contestants include: Drag Race's The Vivienne, Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson, Denise Van Outen, Frankie Dettori, Phil Taylor, GMB's Susanna Reid, Chris Gascoyne and Will Mellor.
