Olivia Attwood has left I’m A Celebrtiy… Get Me Out of Here! but it looks like the jungle could have an extra two campmates anytime soon – including MP Matt Hancock.
The former Love Island star was booted off the show on medical grounds just after after entering the jungle.
A show spokesman said at the time Olivia had left as a precaution because medics advised it was not safe for her to return.

They added that she had been “brilliant” and would be “very much missed”.

“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??”
Following Olivia’s shock exit, The Sun has reported that Matt and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Seann Walsh could now be brought into the jungle earlier than planned.
It is also believed that Matt is being allowed access to a laptop – for work reasons.
Each celebrity has to undergo a week of isolation before they enter the jungle, with no access to phones or email.
However, as Matt is an MP, he is allowed some computer access for “emergency emails” to his constituents and to keep in touch with his personal advisor.

A senior show source told the Mirror: “Matt does not have his personal phone at all and any laptop access is for constituency and monitored Zoom work purposes only whilst in isolation. Matt does not have general internet access.”
However, a source confirmed that its use is being monitored so he can’t contact loved ones back home.
Despite only being in the jungle for 24 hours, Olivia is still set to receive her massive I’m A Celeb fee due to a clause in her contract.
It is believed the reality TV beauty commanded a price of between £100,000 and £125,000.
A TV source told the Mirror: “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.”
