Reflecting on her early exit, Olivia said: “It was a sad situation. It’s a hard one because I love the show, that’s why I went on it, but it’s like unfinished business. So until I’ve got the time to go back and finish it, I feel like I just can’t look at it.”
After weeks of speculation, Olivia confirmed she would not be returning to the show this year.
Earlier this month, Olivia took to to write: “I wasn’t going to talk about anything jungle related because if I’m honest, the way things played out last year still makes my heart hurt… and brain.
“I have been avoiding , but the sheer volume of you messaging about the show, commenting and meeting you in person etc I feel like it’s wrong not to speak to you guys.

“I couldn’t commit to going back this year. It wasn’t the right time for me. There were many things that I had to weigh up, but ultimately the sheer intensity of my schedule doesn’t allow for that much time ‘out of the office’…
“I read all your messages about the show, your support and love I will never ever take for granted. One day I hope when the time is right. We can finish my jungle story for you guys and for myself…
“Now seems like a good time to let my hair down for a few days. I am bursting screaming crying at the seams to share with you the tele things I have coming.”
