Olivia Attwood says she was 'really scared' amid ‘devastating’ I’m A Celebrity exit

express.co.uk:

Her exit came after concerns were raised by a member of the crew following a standard test that the celebrities do behind the scenes during the series.After further checks were made away from the jungle, it was ITV's decision to remove Olivia from the show.At the time, a friend said: "Olivia was very keen to continue and was gutted when she was told that having left camp for tests she was not going back.

Her I'm A Celebrity journey was only just beginning and she is devastated."In ITV's original statement regarding her departure, a spokesman 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 further investigation.She has been absolutely brilliant and she'll be very much missed on the show.”Later the same day a post on Olivia's Instagram said: "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 screen in the new year.

PS Who is going to roast Matt Hancock now?"While the exact reason for Olivia's departure remains unknown, friends close to her have insisted that it was not related to Covid.A source said: "The show is very Covid safe but the so-called bubble is not the same as it was in Wales last year for the show."The reports about Covid are not.
