Olivia Attwood's fiance Bradley Dack breaks silence as star quits I'm A Celebrity

Olivia Attwood 's fiance Bradley Dack has spoken out as the former Love Island star is forced to quit the jungle.

The professional footballer says his partner will be 'gutted' to see her time on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! cut short and reveals he found out his future wife is coming home early via the news and social media, like everyone else.

Olivia appeared on our screens on the ITV series for the first time on Sunday night, but less than 24 hours later it was announced the reality TV star was heading home early due to a medical issue.

Earlier today [Monday], the former TOWIE star was snapped walking unaccompanied in an Australian airport as ITV revealed the 31-year-old had left the celebrity camp following a medical assessment.

Ahead of Olivia's debut appearance on the show on Sunday night, Bradley took to his Instagram Stories to wish his future wife good luck on her camping adventure.

"Good luck tonight @oliviajade_attwood we will all be watching [blue love heart emoji]," the Blackburn Rovers player captioned a clip of his partner chatting before beginning her short-lived I'm A Celebrity adventure.

Speaking about Olivia's sudden exit from the show, Bradley tells the MailOnline: "She'll be gutted. I think she's fine, but I haven't spoken to her.

"I'm really not sure what's happened. 'I just saw it in the news, like anyone else. I'm waiting for a call," he adds, after explaining he found out the news online and is yet to speak with Olivia.

A spokesperson for the ITV show confirmed Olivia's shock early exit earlier today, less than 24 hours on from the star appearing alongside the likes of Chris Moyles and Boy George on this year's series opener on Sunday night.

They told The Mirror: "As a precautionary measure Olivia needed to leave the jungle to undergo medical checks.

"Unfortunately, the medical team has advised that it is not safe for Olivia to return to camp as there needs to be further investigation.

"She has been absolutely brilliant and she'll be very much missed on the show."

On Sunday night's series' opener, the celebrities were told by hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly which stars had been voted to become Jungle VIPs, before a cruel twist was revealed.

"I am equal parts flattered and unnerved the public voted for me to be a VIP… I’m guessing they know more of what that entails than I do. I’m hoping it will be a nice thing but I have a feeling it might not be," Olivia admitted as she was announced as a VIP.

Olivia was the first female celebrity officially confirmed for this year's I'm A Celebrity line-up, thanks to the star being snapped arriving Down Under shortly after former Radio One DJ Chris at the end of last month.

Speaking as she touched down in Australia ready for her brief stay in the jungle, the documentary maker admitted she admitted she was worried about how her fellow campers would handle her in the Australian outback.

"I am scared of me, in terms of how long the other campmates can tolerate me. I will get myself in trouble somehow, the usual," the star confessed at the airport.

"I haven't packed very many bikinis, we are not allowed very many."

Asked what she will miss she referred to her future husband, Olivia confessed: "It is day one at the minute so I'm not missing much. But in three or four days the dogs and my fiance probably.

"I mean four weeks and no sh*gging what can you do?"

Bradley and Olivia's love story actually began before the former I'm A Celebrity star rose to fame back in 2017.

The loved-up couple dated prior to the Love Island star appearing on the ITV2 show - splitting before she entered the iconic villa during the third series of the reality TV series.

During her time in Spain, Olivia met and began a relationship with fellow islander Chris Hughes.

However, following their break up upon returning to the outside world, the 30-year-old reunited with her on-off boyfriend Bradley and the footballer went on to propose after their rekindled their relationship.

Posting a picture of them sharing a kiss by the water on Instagram before smiling for the camera, Olivia announced that Bradley had popped the question back in October 2019.

"He must be crazy... Here’s to forever . I love you BD," she wrote while showing off her diamond ring.
