It was announced by I’m A Celebrity hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly during the show’s first episode on Monday that Olivia would no longer be participating in the series, which is once more being filmed in Australia. Despite her short time on the programme, it has been reported by The Mirror that she will receive her full £125,000 fee.
A show representative 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 a further investigation. She has been absolutely brilliant and she'll be very much missed on the show."

Olivia is reported to have been paid £125,000 for her short time on the show
Olivia’s team posted on her Instagram account yesterday a message that read: "To say Olivia is heartbroken would be an understatement. She dreamed of doing I'm A Celebrity for years, and was absolutely loving every second of the show and throwing herself into jungle life feet first (just as we knew she would).
"However, for reasons beyond her control her journey has been cut short. Your support and kind words have meant the absolute world to her, now as much as it always has. You will hear the truth from Olivia in due course and she will be back on your screens in the New Year. Ps. Who's going to roast Matt Hancock now??"
