Love Island’s Olivia Attwood is reportedly the latest star joining this year’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are returning to Australia this year with a new batch of celebs, all ready to be put through their paces in some grim and gruesome trials.
This will be the show’s first series Down Under since the pandemic hit, after the crew bid farewell to the beloved Gwrych Castle in North Wales where the previous two series have taken place.
Reality star Olivia, 31, rose to fame following her stint on series three of Love Island, where she came third alongside ex-boyfriend Chris Hughes, and recently tested her physical strength in ITV’s The Games earlier this year.
And according to new reports, she’s ready to take on the jungle, making her the first islander to appear on the survival programme.
The Sun claims: ‘Olivia is already viewed as a rising star on ITV and this is likely to serve as a launchpad for potentially fronting more mainstream shows with the broadcaster.’

An ITV spokesperson told Metro.co.uk: ‘Any names suggested for I’m A Celebrity are speculation, we’ll announce our line up nearer transmission.’
Olivia has also ventured into presenting as she recently fronted her titular X-rated series Getting Filthy Rich.

The star immersed herself in the rapidly expanding new world of selling sexual content online and explored the reality of the phenomenon of the increasing number of people making their living this way.
Speculation is rife over who will be joining the 2022 line-up, with Celebrity Gogglebox’s Babatunde Aleshe and Boy George thrown into the mix.
Former EastEnders star Jacquline Jossa was crowned Queen of the Jungle back in 2019.

Metro.co.uk has reached out to Olivia Attwood’s reps for comment.
