Former Love Islander Oliva Attwood has hinted at a return to I’m A Celebrity after having ‘chats’ with ITV following her shock exit just 24 hours into last year’s series

Olivia Attwood has hinted at a return to the I’m A Celebrity camp as she revealed she’s “had chats” with the producers. The former Love Island star has been in talks to make a comeback after she was forced to quit last year’s show after just one day.

The 32-year-old left the jungle for medical reasons, much her own disappointment. Yet Olivia could be heading back Down Under following her early departure. Appearing on Loose Women, Olivia was asked by the panel if she would make a return. She cryptically replied: “We’ve had chats”, leaving the audience to let out a loud: “Oooh!” in excitement.

The reality TV star sparked concerns that she was ‘dangerously anaemic’ following medical tests, and as a result, ITV bosses decided that her time in the jungle had to come to an end. Viewers were quick to speculate over why Olivia had to leave the show, with some claiming pregnancy may have been the reason for her shock departure. The former Love Island star hit out at the rumour, describing the false claim as ‘misogynistic’.

Olivia confirmed that the drama came about as a result of a routine blood test, which all campmates undergo randomly throughout the course of the show – and unfortunately for Olivia her test showed she was dangerously anaemic, as well as having low sodium and potassium levels, which sadly aren’t conducive to jungle life.

“The results were really, really low when they put them into their reader and they consulted with another doctor off site,” she explained. “I had those bloods done in England before I left, and they were fine. I was confused and of course very, very worried. I was so scared, I was like “what the hell is wrong with me?’. ‘They couldn’t give me an answer, they just told me that they had to get me to the hospital immediately.”

Appearing on This Morning after she made a return back to the UK, Olivia admitted she didn’t watch much of the I’m A Celebrity series following her departure from camp – confessing it was all quite “sad” given her dramatic exit. The This Morning presenters then asked the star if she would be willing to fly Down Under once again and have another go at the experience.

Olivia didn’t give a definite answer as she cited logistical issues and prior filming commitments as reasons why she may be unable to return – but admitting she would “love to” head into the jungle again. She was disappointed to not have chance to grill shamed former Health Secretary Matt Hancock on the show last year as she left before he arrived. However, Olivia may get chance to show her take-no-prisoners attitude if she and Boris Johnson head into the I’m A Celebrity camp this year.

With both in talks to head to the jungle, Oliva said: “I’d take him to task because I’m naturally inquisitive… I’m naturally gobby.” The newlywed reckons the first thing she would quiz Johnson about is his terrible hair. She added: “I mean, Jesus… who’s the hairdresser? And why do they hate you?!”

“If you’ve got someone you can ask interesting questions to… like, there’s nothing else to do. I would welcome them to challenge me in the same way.” Olivia confirmed she is in talks about going back to the jungle after her stint was “cut short” last year. She said: “I owe it to myself and the viewers to finish that experience, but it’s a big chunk out of your life. My diary, in the next six months, has not got many days that aren’t accounted for. It’s a ‘let’s see what we can do’ situation.”
