I'm A Celebrity's Olivia Attwood will still receive full fee despite leaving show

Olivia Attwood will reportedly still receive her I'm A Celebrity fee despite leaving the jungle after just 24 hours.

The Love Island star has been forced to withdraw from the ITV show on medical grounds just 24 hours after first entering the jungle.

In last night's show, the 31-year-old was seen jumping out of a helicopter as she started her I'm A Celebrity journey but now it's thought that she's already on her way home to the UK to be with fiancé Bradley Dack.

And despite her short stint, Olivia will receive her full fee, which is believed to between £100k to £125k, due to a special clause in the celebrities' contracts.

One source told the Mirror: "Olivia wanted to continue and because it was the medical team's decision she has done nothing wrong and so should be in line to get paid."

And a source close to Olivia added: "She definitely didn't quit and wouldn't have quit, she wanted to stay."

Olivia isn't the first reality star to drop out of the show as fans will remember Gemma Collins calling time on her jungle stint just three days after entering. According to reports, ITV has a three-day rule on the show – meaning if you last the 72 hours - you will get paid in full.

At the time, Gemma's agent insisted this wasn't true and she would not receive all of her fee after his client sensationally quit the show after deciding jungle life wasn’t for her.

Gemma was mocked on social media for throwing in the towel, but others commended the buisnesswoman for lasting three days. Before going on the show, Gemma told the Mirror: "I think that I'm going to find it extremely tough; like every time I think about it, I feel sick, actually."

Shortly after entering, the GC threatened to leave, complaining about the lack of food on the show and insisted camp mates were being treated worse than criminals.

After she headed back to the UK, the star's spokesperson told MailOnline: "It is absolute rubbish that Gemma will receive her full fee and this 72 hours clause does not exist in her contract." Olivia's exit is not the fastest departure in the programme's history.

That accolade goes to Malcolm McLaren, who refused to enter the jungle after flying to Australia to take part in 2007. The late comedian Freddie Starr lasted 24-hours before leaving for health reasons, while Danniella Westbrook survived nine days.

Others calling it a day Down Under include former Strictly star Camilla Dallerup, who lasted four days, East 17 singer Brian Harvey, who managed six, and All Saints star Natalie Appleton - whose dramatic time in camp ended after nine days.
