I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have passed on their well wishes to Olivia Attwood after the Love Island star was forced to quit the show.
On Monday morning (November 7), a spokesperson for the ITV reality show announced that the TOWIE star was leaving after 24 hours on the Australian series due to medical grounds.
Kicking off the programme, Dec explained that the blonde bombshell would be appearing in the show because the scenes airing happened before the 31-year-old’s shocking exit.

Ant added: “Now she does feature in tonight’s show which was filmed before she had to leave.
“We’re very sad to see her go and we wish her well,” he concluded.
It comes after reports claim that the 31-year-old will still get paid her eye-watering £125,000 fee to participate in the show.

Earlier on this afternoon, a spokesperson for the broadcaster confirmed the disappointing news that Olivia would be bowing out of the show after just one day in the jungle.
They 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.”

Shortly after the news broke, the TV personality posted a statement on her Instagram Story as she teased fans that she would reveal the “truth” of what happened in the next few days.
She wrote: “To say Olivia is heartbroken would be an understatement, she dreamed of doing ‘I’m a Celeb’ 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 [white heart emoji].
