Panellists on Loose Women were shocked to learn that Love Island’s Olivia Attwood has already left I’m a Celeb, after being forced to exit the show on medical grounds.
During Monday’s episode of the ITV daytime show, Coleen Nolan, Jane Moore, Janet Street-Porter and Sophie Morgan sat down to discuss Sunday night’s I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! launch.
After discussing the first set of stomach-churning trials, which saw Babatunde Aleshe back out of the ledge challenge, they began to talk about contestant Olivia, 31, – best known for her stint on Love Island, where she coupled up with Chris Hughes.
Fans were immediately smitten with Olivia, who was picked as a VIP.
She then picked DJ Chris Moyles to join her in the VIP section and the pair had to skydive onto an isolated beach.
However, ITV bosses announced on Monday that Olivia had to exit the show after 24 hours on medical grounds, with the news disappointing the Loose Women as they believed Olivia could win the crown.
Jane, 60, said: “So me and Col (Coleen Nolan) this morning were talking about it and we said Olivia Attwood, we think is a really good contender.
“I think a lot of people had a preconception and I thought she came across quite tough – she’s just left!”
Janet, 75, was taken aback by the news and said: “Left already?!” as Jane revealed the news had just broken.
Even the audience gasped, and Jane soon revealed why Olivia had to leave the jungle.
“They’re not letting her back in so I don’t know if it was her decision, or the boss' decision or whatever but she’s out,” she said, to which Coleen, 57, added: “I thought she was going to win!”
Fans were equally upset online, with Made in Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo penning: “Nooooooooooo @oliviajade_att having to leave the jungle on medical grounds?! I’m so upset.”
“I’d organised my girls to come over and watch the show all together because we were excited to watch her noooooo,” she added.
Another fan tweeted: “The way we’ve been robbed of Olivia Attwood annihilating Matt Hancock in less than a day.”
A third added: “Oh no! Hope she's alright – what a shame, Olivia Attwood was probably going to be the most entertaining campmate of the series.”
After Olivia’s exit, a spokesperson for the show explained: "Unfortunately, the medical team has advised it is not safe for Olivia to return to camp as there needs to be further investigation.
"She has been absolutely brilliant and she'll be very much missed on the show.”
