Love Island star Olivia Attwood has been forced to withdraw from I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! on medical grounds, ITV has confirmed.

ITV said the former Love Island contestant, 31, had been told by the programme’s medical team that it was not safe for her to return to camp. Attwood becomes the first contestant to leave the show, which launched on Sunday night.

A spokesman for ITV said: “As a precautionary measure Olivia needed to leave the jungle to undergo some medical checks.

During the launch episode, Attwood was selected by the public to become a Jungle VIP, a Very Isolated Person, alongside radio DJ Chris Moyles, TV presenter and property expert Scarlette Douglas and Culture Club star Boy George. This meant they spent their first night marooned on an island and also faced the first trial of the series.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues on Monday at 9pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
