OLIVIA Attwood has admitted she thought she was pregnant before slamming ‘misogynistic’ rumours surrounding her I’m A Celebrity exit.
The Love Island star, 31, has revealed she questioned whether she was expecting when she learned some blood tests results had come back as abnormal.
Olivia got the news about the results while she was in the jungle and was rushed to A&E for further tests.
In her first interview with Mail On Sunday, she explained that she considered that she might be having a baby.
Her test showed she was dangerously anaemic, as well as having low sodium and potassium levels.
She recalled: “I was so scared, I was like ‘what the hell is wrong with me?’.
“They couldn’t give me an answer, they just told me that they had to get me to the hospital immediately.
“The results were really, really low when they put them into their reader and they consulted with another doctor off site. I had those bloods done in England before I left, and they were fine. I was confused and of course very, very worried.
“It felt like the longest journey ever – I didn’t know what to think. I was wondering if I had picked up a virus, was I pregnant? All of these things were going through my head.”
Olivia then called the speculation about her being pregnant online “misogynistic”.
She explained: “I mean, I saw on Twitter that I was pregnant. I’m not. There is an underlying misogynistic feel to the rhetoric.
“They’re saying, ‘I bet she fainted’ or ‘I bet she was scared of sleeping outside’ or that ‘she didn’t fancy it because it was raining’. The reason it was so frustrating is because I am the complete opposite of that – and to make it more irritating, people could see on the show that I was absolutely loving it.
“There was nothing I would have said no to in the jungle. I loved it from the first hour and I was embracing every moment of it. I’m a nature geek, so I loved seeing all the bugs, and I even saw a kangaroo.”
