Loose Women's Olivia Attwood revealed she cried for "three days straight" after she was given the boot out of I'm A Celeb as she was made to leave on medical grounds two years ago

Olivia Attwood has opened up about the time was kicked out of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

Talking to Pete Wicks on the Staying Relevant podcast, Loose Women star Olivia claimed she cried for "three days straight" after she was kicked out on medical grounds in 2022.

Olivia told her showbiz pal Pete: "ITV were saying, 'We're not going to do like a Love Island jungle crossover, it's just not something we're interested in'. So when I finally got it, I felt like, Oh my God, I've really done this thing to get chosen to go in.

"And then, it was just a big c*** up on so many levels. Some details I can't talk about, but it was a medical thing essentially. I tried to fight them on it because I felt like I was fine. But, you know, these things all red tape, and essentially, some tests came back."

The Bad Boyfriends host continued: "In the TV world, I was there for maybe two episodes, but in reality, I spent two weeks in lockdown because of COVID. Two f***ing weeks you go in, total isolation, no phone. You can't speak to anyone, no internet. Horrendous. And then I did, four days and three nights in the show, like sleeping there.

"When I left I cried, but I never cry, do I? I'm like Cameron Diaz on The Holiday, if I ever do cry, it's very, very rare. Brad was like, 'Why is she crying?' I cried for like three days straight. I was dehydrated. I was devastated."

When asked if she would be up for going back in, she answered: "I would... Obviously, we've had conversations and they left the door open. And then it's hard, because when I see it come back on telly, it's been two years, sometimes I see it and I'm like, Oh, should I just go back? Because I know I could have, but then I almost feel like I just need a little bit more time to sit on it because it was such an anti climax for me.

"And I don't want to sound like a massive k*** but... I've got stuff on, so I feel like what the point for me to take my foot off the brake to go to Australia for four weeks, when it could potentially go wrong again, like all the worry I'd have around it. When I could just stay here and carry on working, and then hopefully try and do it a year when I've got no work on. I feel like I shouldn't play that card too soon. They've told me it's an open invite so I feel like I should keep that in my back pocket for a rainy day."
