Former Love Island star Olivia Attwood has revealed she is still “hurt” about her exit from I’m a Celebrity last year.
Speaking following the reveal of this year’s contestants, Olivia said she still feels heartbroken about her early exit.
The 32-year-old TV star was forced to quit the 2022 series of I’m a Celebrity after she was diagnosed with dangerously low potassium levels.
Taking to Instagram, she wrote: “I wasn't going to talk about anything jungle related because if I'm honest, the way things played out last year still makes my heart hurt... and brain.
"I have been avoiding Instagram, but the sheer volume of you messaging about the show, commenting and meeting you in person etc I feel like it's wrong not to speak to you guys.”
Olivia confirmed that she won't return to the jungle this year. However, she's keen to make another appearance on I'm A Celebrity one day.
Her post continued: "I couldn't commit to going back this year. It wasn't the right time for me.
"There were many things that I had to weigh up, but ultimately the sheer intensity of my schedule doesn't allow for that much time 'out of the office...
"I read all your messages about the show, your support and love I will never ever take for granted.
"One day I hope when the time is right. We can finish my jungle story.. for you guys and for myself.”
Despite this, Olivia teased that she does have a number of other TV projects in the pipeline.
She said: "Now seems like a good time to let my hair down for a few days. I am burstinggg screaming crying at the seamssss to share with you the tele things I have coming.”
