Nicola McLean has revealed who she would love to see replace Olivia Attwood on I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
This comes after the former Love Islander was forced to withdraw from the competition after just 24 hours.
An ITV spokesperson has said: "As a precautionary measure Olivia needed to leave the jungle to undergo some medical checks.

"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.
"Olivia was involved in a medical drama overnight. She really wanted to go back into the camp but medics won't let her."
Ex-IAC contestant Nicola has given her thoughts on the matter during an exclusive Daily Star Instagram Live chat.
With the news just in that Olivia had left, Nicola who starred on I'm A Celeb in 2008, revealed she was "gutted" for the star.
Nicola, 41, said that she was the star she was looking forward to watching the most and she even wanted her to win.
The Celebrity Big Brother star said she had met "lovely" Olivia a few times in real life and they often DM.
When talking about who could replace Olivia instead, Nicola said: "We need someone, don't we?
"Stand-ins go there every year they put two people there but it all depends on who the stand-ins are if it's someone with the same personality then they won't, hopefully, they have someone as feisty as Olivia.
"I'd quite like to see Tanya Bardsley in there, she's bitchy, Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace would be epic in there and Maura from Love Island – she would be brilliant."
Olivia was the first person from Love Island to go into the Celebrity jungle and was "too excited" to join the cast.
However, she is said to be on her way back home to her fiancee Bradley Dack already.
Nicola will be back next week for another Daily Star chat on Monday at 1pm – each week whilst the show is on.
She will also be releasing a column every Thursday about her views on the show so far.
