Olivia Attwood has broken her silence after being forced to withdraw from I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! 2022. ITV announced on Monday, November 7 that the former Love Island star had left the jungle on medical grounds after just 24 hours.
In a statement at the time, I'm A Celebrity 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."
After jetting back to the UK, Olivia has remained tight-lipped on the details surrounding her departure, but those looking after her Instagram have provided a few updates following her shock exit.

Those looking after Olivia's social media accounts also spoke out on the day the news broke that the reality television star had left the show. Not long after ITV released a statement, her team told Olivia's two million Instagram followers that she was "heartbroken" and the reason for her exit was "beyond her control".
They said: "To say Olivia is heartbroken would be an understatement, she dreamed of doing I'm a Celeb for years, and was absolutely loving every second of the show and throwing herself into jungle life feet first (just as we knew she would).
"However, for reasons beyond her control her journey has been cut short. Your support and kind words have meant the world to her now as much as it always has." You can read more here.
