Olivia Attwood left I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! prematurely in 2022 due to a health issue, meaning she spent just two days in the Australian jungle.

The former Love Island favourite has now opened up on her shock exit and vowed to return to see it through. "The jungle will be getting finished at some point, one thousand per cent. I can’t rest until I’ve finished it," she exclaimed in a new interview.

However, fans will be disappointed if they're hoping to see her return in 2024, as she's branded the prospect near "impossible". She explained to The Sun: "Being a contestant is not something I’m prioritising because I think I just want to really focus on being a host right now.

"From a purely logistical point of view, it would be almost impossible [to appear on I'm A Celeb this year]." The reality star is instead making waves with the new dating show Olivia Attwood’s Bad Boyfriends.

Already hugely popular, it's been branded Britain's best new reality show, with a fresh take on love and relationships. The unsuspecting men have been signed up by long suffering girlfriends and told they are actually about to appear in a Pete Wicks-hosted show called Brotopia on a Greek island.

In fact, nothing could be further from the truth as when they arrive, they are about to get called out for everything from commitment issues to untrustworthiness - and asked to improve.

Olivia has said she's taken inspiration from her relationship journey with her own former "bad boyfriend", footballer Bradley Dack, who was a "heavy influence" on the show's theme, but is now seemingly reformed and has become her fairytale husband.

The show follows on from the likes of Dannii Minogue's I Kissed A Girl and Rylan Clark's Dating Naked, but it boasts its own unique format.

Men are tasked with competing against their co-stars to become the "most improved" boyfriend - something they'll aim to demonstrate through successfully completing a series of challenges.

In a Q&A session to promote the show, she told press that the boys "are naughty and are crossing the line, but they are likeable, and they're not awful human beings".

The show has already received rave reviews since it launched on Sunday night, with one fan exclaiming: "The undercover nightclub honeytrap task is OUTSTANDING reality television. Was like watching a thriller film #BadBoyfriends."

While hosting the show is her current focus, Olivia remains determined to finish what she started on I'm A Celeb in the years to come after she was diagnosed as anaemic during routine health checks and was sent home over health risk fears, which left her feeling "frustrated".
