Chris Moyles has said the I’m A Celebrity campmates were kept in the dark about Olivia Attwood’s departure.

The Love Island star, 31, was forced to leave the juggernaut show after just 24 hours over health concerns from the show’s medical team, with ITV bosses deciding against allowing her back in the jungle.

But after her shock exit, the Radio X DJ, 48, said the entire camp, which included Matt Hancock, Boy George and Mike Tindall, were confused about the Getting Filthy Rich host’s whereabouts.

Chris, who shot to fame on Radio 1, explained: ‘Well, first of all, my first mate there was Olivia. We all felt so sorry for her because she got all the way to camp and found her hammock.

‘Then she went, “Right, I’ll sleep in a hammock”, put a bag down, went into the Bush Telegraph, had a chat, came back. I think she stayed till the food arrived – and then she disappeared.’

But after a while, the presenter explained the celebrities began to grow concerned after Olivia failed to return from the Bush Telegraph.

He continued to Radio X on Friday: ‘We’re like “Oh, maybe just she’s gone to medical or something.” Because I knew they were just keeping an eye on her because we’d spent a bit of time together beforehand, and when I say a bit of time, 24 hours.

‘And then she just never reappeared and we’re like “We guess she’s gone.” But we were like “Well, she was in a great mood. It’s not like she’s gone I can’t do this with these idiots and left.”

‘But from what I believe she’s okay. She’s all good. And we didn’t even get a chance to swap numbers with her because we didn’t have our phones.’

Olivia has previously spoken about why her time on I’m A Celeb was cut short, revealing she was rushed to A&E by ITV staff after ‘routine blood tests’ showed her to be ‘dangerously anaemic’.

‘I was so scared, I was like “What the hell is wrong with me?”‘ she told The Daily Mail.

ITV bosses weren’t happy to let her back into the jungle after the health scare, despite the hospital giving her the all-clear.

The influencer has since said she is keen to get a second chance in camp if she can find some time in between her documentaries and other commitments.

Meanwhile, Chris was the sixth contestant to be given the boot from I’m A Celebrity, which left him raging that Hancock was ‘more popular’ than him.
