OLIVIA Attwood has admitted she was “heartbroken” and “devastated” in her first interview since leaving the jungle.
The star has spoken for the first time since her mystery departure from the ITV show earlier in the week.
“I was absolutely devastated,” Olivia said.
Speaking to the Mail Online, she added: “I’m not a crier but I started to cry, it was so emotional, and I was heartbroken and gutted.”
The full interview will be published tomorrow but several quotes have already been released.
In the chat, Olivia admits: “I was so scared” as she finally opens up about the real reason she had to leave.
She also says she was “heartbroken” after learning she would not be able to return to camp after a medical issue.
The undisclosed event has left fans speculating all week about what happened to the popular Love Island star.
Her absence has not been acknowledged in camp and her best friend Georgia Harrison told HOAR that it was the “strangest” thing she has ever seen unfold on TV.
She also revealed that she and Olivia’s pals were in the dark about what had taken place and hadn’t heard from Olivia, despite sending her texts all week.
Olivia’s social media has been updated on several occasions over the course of the week by her team.
The reality star’s rep penned on instagram yesterday: “Thank you again for all the messages and love.
“Olivia will be back soon.”
Earlier in the week, the rep claimed her departure was not down to Covid after reports claimed she broke the show’s tough covid bubble by leaving to get medical attention.
When news of Olivia’s shock departure broke on Monday, a spokesperson for the show said in a statement that she needed to leave the jungle to undergo some medical checks as a precautionary measure.
They later said: “Unfortunately the medical team has advised it is not safe for Olivia to return to camp as there needs to be a further investigation.
“She has been absolutely brilliant and she’ll be very much missed on the show.”
