Olivia Attwood left I’m A Celebrity after less than 24 hours due to what insiders are calling a ‘medical drama.’
The Love Island star was seen entering the jungle during the launch show on Sunday night with fans praising the first installment of the series now that it has finally returned to the jungles of Oz.
However, in the hours that followed the first episode, the 31-year-old was forced to leave the show on health-related grounds - with no hope of a return.

"Olivia was involved in a medical drama overnight. She really wants to go back into the camp but medics won't let her,” a show insider told The Sun.
At this point it is thought that Olivia is already on her way home, and an ITV spokesman said: “As a precautionary measure Olivia needed to leave the jungle to undergo some medical checks.
“Unfortunately the medical team has advised it is not safe for Olivia to return to camp as there needs to be a further investigation.
“She has been absolutely brilliant and she’ll be very much missed on the show.”
The Love Island star, 31, had been voted a 'VIP' by the public and - not knowing that it meant 'Very Isolated Person' - chose Chris Moyles to join her.
After jumping out of a helicopter, they joined Boy George and Scarlette Douglas as they were marooned on a desert island.

The launch episode on Sunday night saw a new batch of 10 celebrities enter the Australian jungle for the first time since 2019, as the past two years were shot at Gwrych Castle in North Wales due to Covid-19 travel restrictions.
Among them were pop star Boy George and Olivia, who were revealed as the public’s vote to become Jungle VIPs, but this was not as luxurious as it first appeared as they later discovered this meant “Very Isolated People”.
Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly also confirmed there will be two extra arrivals to the camp and poked fun at former health secretary Matt Hancock, expected to be one of them.
Donnelly joked that they had managed to keep the identities a “complete secret”, adding: “You are going to be surprised, guys. We are going to be rolling out the welcome mat for them soon”, stressing the word “mat”.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! returns on Monday at 9:00 pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
