ITV I'm A Celeb's Olivia Attwood breaks silence after being forced to quit show

ITV returned to our screens for another year of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! and this time, we are back in the jungle.

However sadly one campmate was forced to pull out of the reality show on medical grounds and will not be returning.

It was said that Olivia was involved in a medical issue overnight and had to leave the jungle for checks.

A show insider said she wanted to go back in but wasn't able to do so, adding: "Olivia was involved in a medical drama overnight. She really wanted to go back into the camp but medics won't let her."

Many people have send their best wishes to the former Love Island star and now the 31-year-old star has spoken out about her exit.

Taking to Instagram her team wrote on her story: "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 absolute world to her, now as much as it always has.

"You will hear the truth from Olivia in due course and she will back on your screens in the new year."

And it signed off by joking: "Ps who's going to roast Matt Hancock now?"

Olivia was the first female to enter this series' show alongside Chris Moyles and selected as the first VIP and treated to some delicious food before skydiving from a helicopter at 10,000ft.

After completing the jump first, an emotional Olivia said: "Oh my god I’m crying, that’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever done, ever. That is incredible. Top 10 experience of my life. Just amazing."
