I'm A Celeb's Olivia Attwood says ex Chris Hughes will 'love' to see her do eating trial

Olivia Attwood has admitted her exes will be voting for her to take part in the gruelling eating trials on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The 31-year-old's participation in the show is a first, as no former Love Islander has travelled from the Majorcan villa to the Australian jungle to take part in the gruesome series yet.

And as she prepares to rough it in the jungle, Olivia told the Mirror and other journalists how her former lovers – including ex Chris Hughes – were probably be going to vote for her to do the gross Bushtucker Trials in the series.

When asked if her exes will be voting for her Olivia, who met ex Chris in the Love Island villa, said: "Possibly. I mean, I would!

"I saw Chris [Hughes] not so long ago and we are on speaking terms. We say hello to each other.

"I don't really have that many exes who I'm on bad terms with. But they’re all exes who probably want to see me choke on camel anus," she joked.

Despite predicting a number of sure-fire votes for the show's terrifying trials, Olivia seemed positive about her upcoming time in the I'm A Celeb camp and revealed she feels it's a "huge compliment" to be picked as the first Islander to head into the jungle.

When asked how she feels being the first Love Islander on the show, Olivia said: "I mean, it’s a huge compliment. There’s a tad bit of pressure.

"Hopefully they won’t regret their decision. I mean, amazing.

"I know that, God, there is like over 400 or something Love Islanders now and I know they have met with Love Islanders over the years and it was always a big no, so to get the call this year, I mean, I couldn't really believe it myself."

Olivia, who is now engaged to Bradley Dack, added: "The work I've done over the last five years with my documentaries and my own TV show, I think has obviously set me apart in that way and it's helped to show different sides to myself to the people that matter who book the show."

As she heads into the camp, Olivia revealed she's prepared to show her fans a more vulnerable side to her.

When asked what the biggest misconception about her is, Olivia revealed: "Probably that not scared of anything and that I'm you know, I'm just gonna kind of breeze through it. Maybe I think people think that the image I kind of comes across to Instagram and comes across through here, the way I'm in my TV work is that I'm made of steel.

"I think some people think I'm a little bit on the cold side, but I'm really uncomfortable showing vulnerability, which is one of the things that I'm most nervous about."

The ex Islander will join a series of stars on this year's I'm A Celebrity, including Mike Tindall, Charlene White, Chris Moyles, Boy George and Matt Hancockwho joined the series at the last-minute.
