I'm A Celebrity's Olivia Attwood receives ITV fee in full - despite quitting 24 hours in

Olivia Attwood has left I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! after just 24 hours - with questions now arising as to whether or not she will receive her eye-watering fee in full.

The TOWIE star, 31 has been forced to withdraw from the show on medical grounds shortly after taking part in the first Bushtucker Trial of the series.

After jumping out of a helicopter with DJ Chris Moyles, Olivia is already thought to be on her way home to the UK to be with fiancé Bradley Dack.

Despite her incredibly short stint on the show, Olivia will get her full fee, which is believed to be in the region of £100k to £125k, due to a special clause in the celebrities' contracts.

A TV source told the Mirror: "Olivia wanted to continue and because it was the medical team's decision she has done nothing wrong and so should be in line to get paid."

A source close to Olivia added: "She definitely didn't quit and wouldn't have quit, she wanted to stay.".

Of course Olivia isn't the only TOWIE member to quit the jungle.

Fans will remember Gemma Collins calling it a day Down Under after just three days.

According to reports, ITV has a three day rule on the show – meaning if you last the 72 hours - you will get paid in full.

Gemma's agent insisted at the time this wasn't true and she would not receive all of her fee after his client sensationally quit the show after deciding jungle life wasn’t for her.

Many mocked Gemma for throwing in the towel, but others commended the buisnesswoman for lasting three days.

Before going on the show, Gemma told the Mirror: "I think that I'm going to find it extremely tough; like every time I think about it, I feel sick, actually."

On arrival in the jungle, the GC wasted no time in threatening to leave complaining about the lack of food on the show and insisted camp mates were being treated worse than criminals.

However after she quit, the star's spokesperson told MailOnline: "It is absolute rubbish that Gemma will receive her full fee and this 72 hours clause does not exist in her contract."

Gemma and Olivia join a lengthy list of celebrities to quit the gruelling show - but Olivia's is not the fastest departure in the programme's history.

That honour goes to Malcolm McLaren, who refused to enter the jungle after flying to Australia to take part in 2007.

The late comedian Freddie Starr lasted 24-hours before leaving for health reasons, while Danniella Westbrook survived nine days.

Others calling it a day Down Under, include former Strictly star Camilla Dallerup, who lasted four days, East 17 singer Brian Harvey, who managed six, and All Saints star Natalie Appleton - whose dramatic time in camp ended after nine days.

• I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here continues on Monday on ITV at 9pm
