Love Island's Olivia Attwood arrives in Australia as she's confirmed for I'm a Celebrity

Olivia Attwood has landed in Australia after she was confirmed to be a campmate on the upcoming season of I'm A Celebrity.

The reality TV star rose to fame on season three of Love Island when she was paired with Chris Hughes. The Islander will make history as the first Love Island contestant to appear on I'm A Celeb.

The 31-year-old will compete on the popular programme as it returns to its spiritual home Down Under. She is the second campmate confirmed for the upcoming season after Chris Moyles touched down in Australia earlier this morning.

The new series will be hosted by Ant and Dec and is expected to premiere in November. ITV confirmed filming was briefly shut down yesterday following reports of severe flooding in the area.

A spokeswoman told the PA news agency: "We closed site for 24 hours as a precautionary measure due to the inclement weather." It is not the first time production of the show has been marred by adverse conditions, with the previous series, filmed at Gwrych Castle in North Wales, hampered by Storm Arwen .

The show was cancelled for several nights while the production team repaired the significant damage caused by the stormy weather. A trailer for the 2022 series has been released showing Ant and Dec jumping out of a helicopter into the wilderness.

The Geordie presenters have hosted the popular reality show since its launch in 2002.
