Olivia Attwood could return to I'm A Celebrity camp this series, Love Island pal claims

Olivia Attwood could possibly return to the Australian jungle after having to make a shock early exit from camp.

The I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! star, 31, was 'heartbroken' when medical concerns forced her to cut her time on the ITV show short, but pal Georgia Harrison has predicted we haven't seen the last of Olivia Down Under.

Love Island star Georgia, 27, explains how her friend had 'so much airtime' during Sunday's opening episode and was on her was to be 'one of the best campmates', so wouldn't be surprised to see Olivia return to the jungle to give it another go.

I'm a Celebrity fans were gutted on Monday as Olivia was spotted flying home to England, with ITV confirming after the star left the camp for precautionary medical checks it was deemed 'not safe' for the former Love Island star to continue her Australian adventure.

A spokesperson on behalf of Olivia went on to post a statement on the star's Instagram page, in which it was promised viewers will 'hear the truth from Olivia in due course' regarding her mysterious exit from the reality TV show.

It has been claimed the former TOWIE star had been pulled off the show due to breaking the Covid-19 bubble, but Olivia's friends have shut that theory down.

As the country waits to learn the real reason Olivia is back home in England rather than roasting Matt Hancock in the jungle, Love Island star Georgia has shared thoughts on her pal's short stint as a celebrity camper.

"I tell you what, I reckon she will be back next year," she predicts when discussing her friend's reality TV drama.

"She was what everybody was tuning into watch, I reckon she might be upset for a bit but I don’t think it is the last opportunity she will have on I’m A Celeb. She will be back another time."

Speaking to The Sun, Georgia adds her belief Olivia will 'bounce back' from the blow and will be Queen of the Jungle one day in the future - possibly even this year!

Musing if a snap taken by a Twitter user of Olivia walking through an Australian airport on Monday is even real, Georgia says: "It looked genuine but can you imagine if she really was just going to get her bloods checked in Australia and a few days later she goes back in as a surprise?"

As the Mirror revealed on Monday, Olivia left the jungle after medics were concerned over the results of a health test in camp.

The 31-year-old was happy and content on the show but concerns were raised by a member of the crew following a standard test that the celebs do behind the scenes during the series.

After further checks were made away from the jungle it was ITV's decision to remove Olivia from the show.

It's been reported Olivia's exit is related to Covid-19, but a source close to the star has told the Mirror: "The reports about covid are not true and not the reason Olivia was forced to leave the jungle."

The reality TV star had been tipped to do well on the ITV series, as she became the first ever former Love Island star to appear on the show, and her exit has disappointed I'm A Celebrity viewers.

"To say Olivia it heartbroken would be an understatement," a statement shared on the star's page on Monday reads.

It added: "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," the statement explained. "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 be back on your screens in the New Year.

"Ps. Who's going to roast Matt Hancock now?!"
