Go away! Olivia Attwood, 31, is about to make a shocking return to the jungle of I’m A Celeb after quitting last year’s series due to a health concern
Olivia Attwood is set for a sensational return to I’m A Celebrity after being forced to leave the jungle last year due to health concerns.
ITV followed doctors’ advice and decided she had to leave the jungle after just one day. But the network has now signed her back on.
Sources close to the broadcaster say they were ‘absolutely disappointed’ when blood tests showed she had dangerously low potassium levels as they had hoped to make her one of their most talked about faces.
So bosses have orchestrated a plan to get the former Love Island star back for the new series later this year.
A source told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Olivia’s time in the jungle last year was to give her a platform so ITV could give her a big show.

Sources close to the broadcaster say they were ‘absolutely disappointed’ when blood tests showed she had dangerously low potassium levels as they had hoped to make her one of their most talked about faces.
“They had a huge future mapped out for her. She is a huge draw for the in-demand younger viewers.
“Then it came to an end after her blood work came back.
“Now they’re getting her back for this year and starting the whole plan over again. ITV bosses know she will be so popular on I’m A Celeb… and viewers will simply love her.”
During last year’s series, Ms Attwood, 31, was taken to the emergency room after a routine blood test showed she was anemic.
In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday, she said: ‘It felt like the longest journey ever.
“I thought my blood was normal about a month ago, so I don’t know what to think.
‘I wondered if I had caught a virus, if I was pregnant, things were going through my head. It was frightening.’
Due to insurance issues, ITV producers felt her return to last year’s series was too risky.
The star said: “If I were to go back to camp, my levels could drop and that could be detrimental to my health and well-being… I was absolutely devastated.
“I’m not a cryer, but I started to cry. It was emotional. My heart was broken.’
After appearing on Love Island in 2017, Ms Attwood last year presented the ITV documentary Getting Filthy Rich about the sale of sexual content on the website OnlyFans.
