I'm A Celebrity signs Olivia Attwood as first Love Island star, according to reports

A former Love Island star has been signed up for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here for the first time in the show's history, it is being reported.

Olivia Attwood is said to be heading into the Australian outback to take part in the ITV show. The 31-year-old became one of the most recognisable faces on Love Island after her time in the Majorcan villa in series three. She was paired with Chris Hughes in the third season, but the pair's explosive coupling wasn't to be.

She has since featured on TOWIE and hosted her own documentary titled Getting Filthy Rich, which focused on the sex industry. A source told The Sun: "This is a sign that the dating favourite is now so big and produces figures with such high profiles that they can no longer be dismissed.

"Olivia is already viewed as a rising star on ITV and this is likely to serve as a launchpad for potentially fronting more mainstream shows with the broadcaster."

She had previously admitted she would be keen to try her luck on I'm A Celebrity and has taken part in mock trials on the show's spin off. In it, she successfully devoured fish eyeballs and animal testicles to impress viewers, reports The Mirror.

Olivia previously said: "I'd love to do the jungle. I'd give Dancing on Ice a go, although it does scare me. I'm a bit of a baby, so I don't like getting hurt.

"I feel like the minute I fall over once, I'd be done. I know it sounds dramatic, but I'm just a bit like that. For me, the jungle is less scary. So I'd love to do the jungle."

Away from the screen, Olivia is engaged to footballer Bradley Dack. The Mirror has contacted ITV representatives for comment.
