OLIVIA Attwood has broken her silence on quitting I’m A Celebrity after just 24 hours.
The Love Island stunner’s exit will air tonight after she was forced to withdraw on medical grounds.
The medical team ruled it was “not safe” for Olivia to return to camp – but in a cryptic message tonight her rep said: “You will hear the truth from her in due course.”
Writing on Olivia’s Instagram story, a “Team Liv” spokesman wrote: “To say Olivia is heartbroken would be an understatement.
“She dreamed of doing I’m A Celebrity for years, and was absolutely loving every second of the show and throwing herself into jungle life feet first (just as we knew she would).
“However, for reasons beyond her control her journey has been cut short.
“Your support and kind words have meant the absolute world to her, now as much as it always has.
“You will hear the truth from Olivia in due course and she will be back on your screens in the New Year.
“Ps. Who’s going to roast Matt Hancock now??”
Earlier today HOAR exclusively revealed the Love Island star had quit the jungle after just 24 hours.
She had made history as the first person from the dating show to go in the jungle.
But despite lasting just a day in the jungle, she’ll still get paid her £125k fee despite the early exit, which is reportedly between £100k to £125k.
“Olivia wanted to continue and because it was the medical team’s decision she has done nothing wrong and so should be in line to get paid,” a TV source told The Mirror.
The reality star made her first appearance on the show last night.
Olivia was joined by radio DJ Chris Moyles, Gogglebox’s Babatunde Aleshe, Lionesses star Jill Scott and newsreader Charlene White as part of one group for the series launch.
She was crowned a VIP in a public vote, and picked Chris to join her for the special treatment.
While the other three had to take part in the Walk The Plank challenge.
Olivia has since had to quit the jungle and is already on her way back home to fiancé Bradley Dack.
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.”
A rep for I’m A Celebrity said: “As a precautionary measure Olivia needed to leave the jungle to undergo some medical checks.
“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.”
