Former Love Islander and I'm a Celebrity.... Get Me Out of Here star, Olivia Attwood, has promised her fans that she will "make it up to you guys with something bigger and better!"
The 31-year-old, who became the first Love Island contestant to enter the jungle, withdrew from the ITV reality television show just 24 hours after appearing on screen, citing medical issues that needed further evaluation.
She appeared on This Morning on Monday, November 14 to address what actually happened and now, the reality star has taken to her Instagram to thank her supporters for the "love and support" she has received since leaving I'm a Celebrity.

She wrote to her Instagram story on Tuesday, November 15: "Besties, I honestly don't think words will ever be able to explain my gratitude for your love and support over the last couple of weeks. I know there is a lot of noise and click bait floating around. So just be mindful of what your buying into, there are big problems in our world at the moment, and this isn't one of them haha.
"I'm grateful to be completely healthy (what's more important than that?!), and there is so so much to look forward to this year and next." She added: "I'll make it up to you guys with something bigger and better! That's my promise, to you and myself)."
This message comes after she appeared on popular morning show This Morning speaking to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield about the real reason for leaving the jungle.
She said: "There’s loads [of rumours] swirling around the internet and I think ‘Olivia Attwood pregnant’ was trending on Twitter - and it’s not that I can assure you - and it’s not that exciting when it boils down to it," she said of the reason she had to leave.
"I was pulled out on my first day in main camp for routine medical checks - which can be blood pressure, giving blood - so I had my blood taken and the results came back that my iron was low, I was showing that I was anaemic.
"Potassium was really low, sodium was really low, so basically all the markers you would look for were low so they consulted with a doctor outside of camp and they said I would need to come to A&E basically off the back of those readings."
Of being told she wouldn't be able to return, she told the show's presenters: "I was like 'shall we go back?' and I knew there would be Covid tests and things like that but there was a pause in proceedings there, and it was late at night and taking me back into camp doesn’t work logistically.
"So I went to a hotel and basically as I now know the conversations went on all through the night with production obviously desperate to have me back in, but the medical team… I think it’s an insurance thing."
She added: "I’m grateful that I’m healthy but it makes it harder to accept."
