Olivia Attwood revealed she tried to "fight" ITV for the chance to remain on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! after her sudden exit. The 33-year-old shared truths and teased at a possible return as she recounted her 2022 jungle experience. Two years ago, Olivia made history as the first Love Island contestant to join the jungle but was sent home just 48 hours later on medical grounds. Olivia has since called the experience the "worst thing" to happen in her TV career.
Eager to stay in the competition, she revealed that show bosses wouldn't let her continue, and there are still parts of her exit she cannot discuss. Speaking to Pete Wicks on his Staying Relevant podcast, Olivia admitted, "That is the worst thing that's happened to me in this industry. In terms of, like, just the disappointment. You know what it's like when you really want something. Oh my God, I really wanted the jungle.
“They always said this at ITV, they always said they weren't gonna do a Love Island/jungle crossover. So when I got it I felt ‘I've finally done this thing to get chosen to go in.'. Olivia continued: It was just a c*** up on so many levels. Some of the details, I can't talk about but it was a medical thing essentially. I tried to fight them on it because I felt like I was fine.”.
