Olivia Attwood finally reveals real reason she didn’t return to I’m A Celeb

Olivia appeared on the show back in 2022, but had to leave due to medical reasons after just 48 hours

Olivia Attwood has explained why she never made a return to the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! jungle when she had to quit the show after 48 hours.

Olivia, 33, appeared on the 2022 series of the show, but after just a couple of days inside camp, she was forced to leave due to medical reasons.

A spokesperson explained at the time that she left for a 'precautionary measure' to 'undergo medical checks', adding: "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."

It emerged later that Olivia had been taken to hospital with abnormal blood test results that indicated she had low potassium levels and was anaemic.

“I was so scared, I was like ‘what the hell is wrong with me?’" She told the MailOnline afterwards.

“I was confused and of course very, very worried.”

Olivia claimed she was given the all clear from the medical team at the hospital, but she was not permitted to re-enter camp.

Speaking about the experience this week, Olivia chatted about what happened to Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks on their Staying Relevant podcast.

"It was a big c**k up on so many levels," she said.

"[It was a] medical thing essentially. I tried to fight them on it because I felt like I was fine."

Speaking about whether she would go back into the jungle, she confirmed she would, explaining that the door 'had been left open'.

"I would [go back and do it again]," she told Pete.

"I need time to settle on it because it was such an anticlimax for me.

"When I left, I cried. I cried for like three days straight, I was like dehydrated. I was devastated."

Speaking to The Sun earlier this year, Olivia hinted she would return at some point, but that her work commitments had been keeping her busy.

"The jungle will be getting finished at some point, one thousand per cent. I can’t rest until I’ve finished it," she said.

"But probably not this year. From a purely logistical point of view, it would be almost impossible.

"Plus, being a contestant is not something I’m prioritising because I think I just want to really focus on being a host right now."
