Olivia Attwood on I’m A Celebrity

The reality TV star is the first-ever Love Island to appear on I’m A Celebrity.

Landing in Australia, she admitted that she’s going to miss sex, her fiancé and her dogs.

“I mean, four weeks and no [bleep]ing, what can you do?” she quipped to The Mirror.

Olivia also revealed she’s worried about how her personality will go down in camp

She said: “I am scared of me, in terms of how long the other campmates can tolerate me. I will get myself in trouble somehow, the usual.”

Olivia admitted she hasn’t packed many bikinis because “we’re not allowed very many”.

She also revealed why she’s signed up to the show.

“My friends and family have always wanted me to do this show so lets see how it goes. I love Ant and Dec, I have grown up watching them. They are British TV icons,” she said.

Olivia opened up about their reasons behind the split when she signed up for Celebs Go Dating towards the end of 2018.

Speaking to camera, she said: “Obviously I was with Chris. That’s the hardest one for me to talk about right now, because I feel like it’s still really raw.

“Unfortunately one of the most toxic relationships I’ve ever been involved in. I think we just battled over everything.”

However, her time on the show was marred by rumours she wasn’t actually single while on the show and was actually dating Bradley.

Olivia denied the claims.

I’m A Celebrity star Olivia Attwood on her ADHD diagnosis

Olivia has previously opened up about her ADHD diagnosis.

She opened up during an episode of Loose Women on ITV.

Olivia said: “Later in life I found myself with a severe battle of anxiety and depression, came under the care of a psychiatrist who specialised in ADHD.

“It was a stroke of luck that it was diagnosed. [It’s] state of being constantly overwhelmed.”

She then went on to explain: “Through my teens and early twenties when it wasn’t managed, I acted without thinking, it caused myself and people around me a lot of stress.”

“The amazing doctor who I was actually treated by, when I was with her for a couple of hours she was like: ‘Have you ever been diagnosed with ADHD?’ and I was like: ‘Yeah, as a child, but you can’t have it as an adult, can you?’

“And she was like: ‘You absolutely can. I think not being aware of your ADHD tendencies has led you to be really hyperactive and then you’re dealing with anxiety and that’s brought on depression.’

“So it’s a chicken and egg situation,” she added.
