Former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Olivia Attwood has cast doubt on a return to the jungle in future, saying it all depends on the "logistics". The 31-year-old was pulled out of the jungle after being on the show for less than 24 hours. You can read more about why she left here.
When asked by Phillip Schofield on This Morning if she'd consider a return in future Olivia implied that it all depends on other work that she has on. She said: “It might be more of a logistical thing to make it work…I would love to because, yeah, it was cut short. [Tests are still normal] thank God, I’m grateful that I’m healthy, but it makes it harder to accept. But it is what it is – there are worse things happening in the world.” Since finding fame on Love Island in 2017 she has been very busy since and has appeared on The Only Way is Essex and carved out a career as a presenter.
This year it had looked like the stars had aligned for Olivia to appear on I'm A Celebrity, telling Phillip and Holly Willoughby that it had been "five years in the making" due to scheduling conflicts.

Explaining her early exit from the ITV show, Olivia said: "I was pulled out on my first day in main camp for routine medical checks – which can be blood pressure, giving blood – so I had my blood taken and the results came back that my iron was low, I was showing that I was anaemic. Potassium was really low, sodium was really low, so basically all the markers you would look for were low so they consulted with a doctor outside of camp and they said I would need to come to A&E basically off the back of those readings so I was taken to the nearest A&E department, admitted in there where they ran their own checks, and their checks came back normal, so…”
She added: “Just before leaving the UK I’d had all those checks and everything was normal and the first thing I said to the camp doctor was: ‘Is that possible for things to change in such a short time?’ and he didn’t really have an answer but that it was not normal and why we need to see what’s going on.”
Olivia told This Morning of her hopes to "prove herself" to the general public on I'm A Celebrity. The show is well-known for giving celebrities the chance for further work opportunities and has been beneficial to several reality TV stars including Scarlett Moffatt, Stacey Solomon, and Vicky Pattison.
