Olivia Attwood was reportedly forced to drop out of I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here due to 'strict rules' surrounding medical results, a source has claimed.
Viewers who tuned in to the return of the Virgin Media reality show over the weekend saw the ex-Love Island star compete in the first Bushtucker Trial on a beach, winning eight stars.
However, she was out of there after less than 48 hours, with a statement confirming she'd left camp arriving on Monday afternoon.

Now, it appears we have the full explanation, as the Mirror UK report that Olivia wanted to return to the jungle after a medical issue -but couldn't due to strict isolation rules.
A source told the Mirror : "She could see it was an impossible situation."
It was claimed that she would have to go through a week of isolation in order to return to the campsite, which would be 'impossible'.
ITV have declined to comment on the reason behind her exit.
"It was felt this would be too much time to spend away from the competition and potentially place her campmates at a disadvantage to her," a TV source claimed to The Sun.
But a friend close to Olivia insisted her exit had nothing to do with Covid rules as they said: "The show is very covid safe but the so-called bubble is not the same as it was in Wales. Mike Tindall was seen trying to throw a production member into the sea on the first day. He hugged her and was in complete contact with her and nothing was said.
"Other celebs are also coming into close contact with camera crew and production who come and go from site every day and are out at night as normal. It is very different to Wales when Richard Madeley wasn't allowed back for breaking the bubble."
