Notably, the TV personality has been subject to several theories and speculations since her sudden exit, some of which were downright degrading. Some theories suggest the star never returned to the show because her ADHD hindered her life in the jungle, while others believed she broke a COVID bubble and had to be removed lest she infected other contestants.
The theories became even darker as several insisted she was pregnant, with others proposing misogynistic allegations that she was perhaps too weak and feminine to scale through the difficult, adrenaline-pumping adventures. In an interview with Dailymail, Oliva Attwood revealed she found most of these theories about her shortlived I’m A Celeb stint hurtful, especially as they misrepresented her true personality.
The 31-year-old buttressed just how much she loved her adventures and embraced every moment as a nature geek. Addressing the ADHD speculations, she noted that the jab at her mental health condition was particularly hurtful. Contrary to those theories, staying away from the artificial stimuli of city life positively impacted her condition. Debunking the COVID bubble theory, she pointed out that in that case, they would have just taken a few days off to test her.
Why She Really Left I’m A Celeb
In the same interview, Olivia Attwood addressed the real reason behind her sudden exit from I’m A Celeb. According to her, she had no intention of walking away from the adventures. However, the show sent her packing after some test results revealed she was dangerously anemic and had low levels of potassium and sodium in her blood.
Although several repeated results with off-site doctors showed normal levels, they insisted on her exit, as the initial result meant she was not insured. On the positive side, Olivia gushed about the thrill of her short stay in the jungle. Reminiscing on some of her favorite moments, she recalled jumping off a helicopter two days before her exit, the beautiful conversations with her fellow castmates-turned-friends, and even cooking with Charlene White.
