Olivia Attwood ‘did not exit I’m A Celeb after breaking Covid bubble’

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star Olivia Attwood was apparently not forced to leave the ITV show for Covid reasons, despite previous reports claiming otherwise. The celeb shocked viewers when she left the Australian-based series within the first 24 hours of arriving. The Love Island star entered the jungle last Sunday alongside the likes of Boy George, and radio DJ Chris Moyles, and quickly made an impact on fans.During her brief time on the show, Olivia was tipped as a possible Queen of the jungle, but fans were soon left disappointed after ITV confirmed she had to exit the show on medical grounds.On Monday night, host Declan Donnelly said: “Unfortunately, Olivia Attwood has left the jungle for medical reasons and sadly won’t be returning.”Ant McPartlin 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.”READ MORE: Michael Douglas is unrecognisable as he unveils new long, dyed hair Olivia Attwood’s pals have spoken out (Image: GETTY/ITV) Olivia Attwood left the jungle after just 24 hours (Image: GETTY) Olivia Attwood was a favourite to win I’m A Celeb this year (Image: ITV) Olivia Attwood rose to fame when she appeared on Love Island (Image: GETTY)However, Olivia’s friends have said she did not leave because she broke the Covid bubble, despite previous claims from The Sun.The latter news outlet said Olivia was forced to leave after ‘breaking a strict Covid bubble’, and if she wanted to continue with the series she would have to ‘endure another week of isolation.’A source told the paper: ‘It was felt this would be too much time to spend away from the competition and potentially place her campmates at a disadvantage to her.”Olivia would have been going back in almost halfway through the series, which simply wasn’t fair,’ they added.READ MORE…Geena Davis reflects on Bill Murray pulling down her dress on live TV [NEWS]Liz Hurley’s son Damian pens heartfelt tribute to ‘gorgeous father’ [UPDATE]Dan Walker sets record straight on co-stars he ‘doesn’t speak to’ [INSIGHT]Since then, pals of Olivia have insisted the decision to remove her was a result of medical tests and nothing to do with her being out of the main camp.A source close to Olivia said: “The show is very covid safe but the so-called bubble is not the same as it was in Wales last year for the show. “The reports about covid are not true and not the reason Olivia was forced to leave the jungle.” After the news of Olivia’s shock exit, a statement was posted to her social media promising the star would reveal the ‘truth’ of what led to her departure.
