Olivia Attwood has been compelled to give up I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! on medical grounds, lower than 24 hours after the launch present.
The 31-year-old star, who rose to fame on Love Island in 2017, was among the many favourites to win this 12 months’s collection of I’m A Celebrity, which has returned to Australia after being moved to the UK through the pandemic.
During Sunday night time’s opening episode, viewers watched as Attwood skydived out of a helicopter alongside radio presenter Chris Moyles.
However, ITV stated on Monday she has since needed to go away on medical grounds after being advised it was “not safe” to return to camp after a check-up.
A present spokesman advised Sky News: “As a precautionary measure Olivia wanted to go away the jungle to bear 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 completely sensible and she or he’ll be very a lot missed on the present.”
The first episode of the collection noticed Attwood and singer Boy George revealed as the 2 celebrities voted by the general public to change into Jungle VIPs, and so they had been each allowed to select one other star to get pleasure from a slap-up meal with.
Attwood picked Moyles, and after their meals the pair jumped 10,000ft out of a helicopter on to a abandoned island seaside – the place they later found that VIP stood for “Very Isolated People”.
Speaking in regards to the skydive, an emotional Attwood stated: “Oh my God I’m crying, that’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever done, ever. That is incredible. Top 10 experience of my life. Just amazing.”
The pair had been joined by Boy George and his VIP decide, TV presenter and property professional Scarlette Douglas, who needed to row their technique to the seaside.
The group then found they’d spend the night time marooned on the island collectively, earlier than taking over the primary trial of the collection earlier than with the ability to be part of their fellow celebrities in the principle camp.
It shouldn’t be clear if Attwood will seem in any of the second episode of the collection, which is ready to air on Monday night.
The launch episode noticed a brand new batch of 10 celebrities enter the Australian jungle for the primary time since 2019, following two collection set at Gwrych Castle in North Wales as a result of COVID journey restrictions.
Headlines forward of the collection beginning have been dominated by the information that former well being secretary Matt Hancock is ready to affix the camp as a late arrival.
Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly confirmed there’ll certainly be two further campmates arriving within the subsequent few days, and poked enjoyable at Hancock, who’s MP for West Suffolk, saying they’d be “rolling out the welcome mat for them soon”.
