OLIVIA Attwood has left the I’m A Celebrity jungle after just 24 hours.

But she’s not the first famous face to have quit the ITV show since hitting our screens in 2002.

Let’s take a look at some of the most dramatic I’m A Celebrity exits over the years

Earlier today HOAR exclusively revealed that Love Island 2017 star Olivia was forced to withdraw from the show on medical grounds.

But she’s not the only celeb to have left the jungle early.

Over the past 22 years, the likes of GMB’s Richard Madeley, Made in Chelsea star and self-confessed diva Gemma Collins have also been culprits.

Let’s take a look at the most memorable…

Olivia Attwood

Olivia is already on her way back to the UK after 24 hours on the show

Love Islander Olivia, 31, was one of the 12 celebrities to take part in the show this year.

She hit our screens last night for the highly-anticipated first episode.

But today the news broke that she has left the jungle.

A show insider told us: “Olivia was involved in a medical drama overnight.

“She really wanted to go back into the camp but medics won’t let her.”

Richard Madeley

Richard Madeley had to quit the show after being rushed to hospital

Last year Good Morning Britain presenter Richard took part in the 21st series of the ITV show in Wales.

Richard had to quit the show after being rushed to hospital in the early hours of the morning.

He posted the bad news on Instagram, explaining he couldn’t return to the hit ITV show because of strict Covid rules.

Jack Maynard

Jack lasted three days on the show in 2017

Jack left I’m A Celebrity 2017 just three days into the show’s run.

A spokesperson for the YouTube star released a statement confirming the 25-year-old was leaving the jungle.

It said: “In the last few days Jack has been the subject of a succession of media stories which, given his position as a contestant on ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ – filmed in the Australian jungle, with no contact with the outside world, he has been unable to respond to.

“Since it is only fair that everyone should be aware of any allegations made against them and should also have the right to defend themselves, it was agreed that it would be better to bring him out of the show.”

It then emerged that as well as racist and homophobic tweets Jack had sent he had also begged a 14-year-old fan to send him nude pictures.

Gemma Collins

The Australian jungle wasn’t the place to be for the GC

Gemma had a very short stint in the jungle back in 2014.

After just three days, the GC decided that enough was enough.

Spencer Matthews

Spencer left the jungle for taking steriods

Made in Chelsea star Matthew only last three days before calling it quits.

The reality favourite didn’t even manage to get into the main camp.

He was kicked off the show for taking steroids.

Lady C

Lady C decided to quit just days before the final in 2015

Lady Colin Campbell had made it all the way to the final week during series 15.

But just four days before the final she decided to pack up her bags and return to normality.

It was reported that it was due to medical grounds.

Craig Charles

Craig left the show after finding out about a family death

Craig took part in the 14th series alongside Gemma Collins.

The Corrie legend was the second to leave after he was told the heartbreaking news that his brother Dean had died.

“Craig was told the sad news earlier today,” an ITV source confirmed.

“He was devastated and decided to leave straight away, but did stop to say his goodbyes to his fellow celebrities.

“He was a great part of the show and we are sorry to see him leave but completely respect his wishes. He is expected to fly home tomorrow.”

Katie Price

Katie lasted nine days in 2009 before calling it quits

The former glamour model took part in the third series of IAC back in 2004.

“It’s not about the money, it’s not about winning for me – I just don’t want to be here any more,” Katie confessed.

Danniella Westbrook

Danniella decided to leave after just nine days in 2003

The actress couldn’t cope with being voted to do the Bushtucker trials each time, so took matters into her own hands.
