I'm A Celebrity fans 'devastated' as Olivia Attwood forced to quit after just 24 hours in jungle

I'm A Celeb fans have been left devastated after one campmate was forced to quit the show just 24 hours after entering the Australian jungle.

Olivia Attwood has been forced to withdraw from the show on medical grounds and - despite wanting to return - has not been allowed to do so by medics.

She is understood to already be on her way home to the UK to be with fiancé Bradley Dack.

The Love Island star was a sure favourite already having been voted a 'VIP' by the public and not knowing what it meant, chose Chris Moyles to join her.

However, the 31-year-old, who many viewers were banking on bringing some entertainment after her huge success in the villa, has been sent packing after jumping out of a helicopter in Sunday night's show.

Olivia and Chris were joined by Boy George and Scarlette Douglas as they were marooned on a desert island overnight ahead of facing the first bush tucker trial of the series.

A show spokesperson told The Mirror: "As a precautionary measure, Olivia needed to leave the jungle to undergo medical checks.

"Unfortunately, the medical team has advised that it is not safe for Olivia to return to camp as there needs to be further investigation.

"She has been absolutely brilliant and she'll be very much missed on the show."

I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! Viewers were all left saying the same thing after Sunday night's show.

The new campmates entered the jungle with a bang as they were faced with one of the most difficult challenges yet.

Celebrity Gogglebox star Babatunde Aleshe, Loose Women's Charlene White and England Lioness Jill Scott all faced the daunting task of standing on a ledge off the top of a skyscraper.

Charlene was the first to step out onto the platform, and she did so with ease. Facing her fears while she waited for her fellow teammates to do the same.

Babatunde was next to step out, but unfortunately, the task proved too much for the Gogglebox star.

He stepped out halfway before becoming stuck, unable to take the next step.

Babatunde then became the first celeb to cry out the words I'm a celebrity, get me out of here, just 40 minutes into the first episode.

However, the team was quickly redeemed as Jill Scott strutted out onto the platform to complete the task with Charlene.

The two women then counted to 60 before they were plunged off the side of the building.

But after the task, viewers were all left saying the same thing.

Taking to Twitter, one wrote: "Nice to see Babatundae has volunteered himself for every trial until Matt Hancock enters the jungle #ImACeleb ".
