Olivia Attwood 'confirms' return to I'm A Celebrity after shock exit two year ago - 'I can’t rest'


Olivia Attwood has admitted that she plans to return to 'I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!' in the future to finish what she started after her shock exit from the show. The former Love Islander signed up for the reality show back in 2022 but was forced to quit after just two days in the jungle due to a health issue - and Olivia has now insisted she wants to go back to finish the job and cannot rest until she's done it.

The Love Island star had an incredibly short stint on the show after a routine medical test showed concerning low blood pressure causing her to exit the jungle to undergo more tests. Despite follow-up tests showing she was healthy and able to return - insurers were hesitant to allow her back into camp which resulted in a premature exit from the show. According to Olivia at the time of her shock jungle exit, she "cried the whole way back from Australia".

But she's now promised that her jungle journey isn't over just yet. She told The Sun: "The jungle will be getting finished at some point, one thousand per cent. I can’t rest until I’ve finished it."

However, Olivia insisted she hasn't got the time for a stint in Australia this year but she hopes to find a gap in her schedule at some point in the future.

She added: "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."

Last year, Olivia felt the need to break her silence on why she would not be returning to take part in the celebrity jungle antics for 2023 - despite her early finish in 2022.

In a personal and candid update to her Instagram story, Olivia admitted her swift jungle exit "still makes my heart hurt... and my brain".

She explained that she felt she needed to confirm her absence due to the amount of fans calling for her return.

It comes as Olivia has recently been back on our screens with a brand new show Bad Boyfriends on ITV2, which sees eight couples put their relationships to the test in a bid to be crowned the most improved boyfriend.

Last week, Olivia appeared on This Morning to give viewers a sneak peek of what's to come on the show, revealing that it almost didn't happen because the men threatened to leave once they discovered the truth.

She shared with hosts Craig Doyle and Sian Welby: "So it was a real thing of like, are they genuinely going to re-consent to this new show? We had a 24-hour period where all we had to do was sit and wait. It was horrible."

"We had been making this thing for over a year and they could all just go, 'No, I'm not doing this'."
