Olivia Attwood missing from I'm A Celebrity final after early exit as fans devastated

Olivia Attwood was missing from I'm A Celebrity for the final tonight - weeks after her shock exit.

The Love Island star was one of the 10 initial stars to enter the ITV camp, but she had to leave after around 24 hours when the medical teams grew concerned for her, bringing her I'm A Celebrity journey to an early close. She was later seen flying home from Australia and back to UK - and she was also missing as the campmates reunited for the final tonight.

As all the campmates returned to the programme tonight, Olivia was nowhere to be seen as the likes of Mike Tindall, Boy George and Chris Moyles amongst others returned to mark the show's final.

Fans tuning into the final would have expected Olivia to be there - as all the other campmates were present at the crowning of the new Queen of the Jungle, Lioness star Jill Scott.

" Olivia Attwood watching Dec say all this years celebs are in the studio #imaceleb #imacelebrity," one wrote alongside a meme of someone looking sad, whilst another added: "Me trying to find Olivia Atwood #ImACelebrity #ImACeleb."

Olivia previously admitted she was "gutted" to be leaving the show.,

Speaking about her early exit, she said recently as she opened up about her early and surprise exit from camp : "I was absolutely devastated. I'm not a crier but I started to cry, it was so emotional, and I was heartbroken and gutted."

In ITV's original statement regarding her departure, a spokesman said: "As a precautionary measure Olivia needed to leave the jungle to undergo some medical checks. Unfortunately, the medical team has advised it is not safe for Olivia to return to camp as there needs to be further investigation. She has been absolutely brilliant and she'll be very much missed on the show."

Later the same day a post on Olivia's Instagram vowed to reveal the truth.

"To say Olivia is heartbroken would be an understatement. She dreamed of doing 'I'm A Celebrity' for years, and was absolutely loving every second of the show and throwing herself into jungle life feet first (just as we knew she would).

"However for reasons beyond her control her journey has been cut short. Your support and kind words have meant the absolute world to her, now as much as it always has," the post - shared on her social media - read, "You will hear the truth from Olivia in due course and she will be back on screen in the new year. PS Who is going to roast Matt Hancock now??"
