Olivia Attwood said she didn't leave the I'm a Celebrity jungle because she was pregnant. But as the former Love Island star travelled to hospital to get checked out, she said it did cross her mind.
She told the Mail on Sunday she left because blood tests raised concerns she had "dangerously low potassium levels" and not because she was expecting her first baby. The TV presenter, who also appeared on The Only Way Is Essex in 2019 and on Celebs Go Dating, said she had read online comments from fans who believed she was pregnant.
And she said she had her own concerns. She told the paper: "It felt like the longest journey ever, I was thinking that my blood was normal a month or so ago, so I didn't know what to think.

"I was wondering if I had picked up a virus, was I pregnant, all of these things were going through my head. It was absolutely frightening."
Olivia had hoped to return to the jungle camp after hospital tests came back normal. However she says ITV bosses were concerned about her health which stopped her return. After being pictured flying out of Brisbane airport, the internet was rife with potential theories as to why the TV personality had to unexpectedly leave the show. Olivia said: "I mean, I saw on Twitter than I was pregnant. I'm not."
