Olivia Attwood has been spotted at Manchester Airport which has fueled suggestions she'll be returning to the Jungle.
The former Love Island star has now broken her silence on rumours she'll be heading to the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! camp for the upcoming series.
Attwood, 32, was rumoured to be set to return to the jungle this year – after she was sadly forced to pull out of the 2022 series after just 24 hours in camp due to medical reasons.
Olivia was recently spotted arriving at Manchester Airport with two huge suitcases.

However, the star has revealed she is not taking part in the gruelling ITV series, fronted by Ant and Dec, and broke her silence on the rumours in an Instagram Story statement.
Olivia said: "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 my brain.
"I have been avoiding Instagram, But the sheer volume of you messaging about the show, commenting, meeting you in person etc I feel like it's wrong not to speak to you guys!!" [sic]
She added in another post: "I couldn't commit to going back this year. It wasn't the right time for me. There were many things 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 ver take for granted," she penned. "One day I hope when the time is right. We can finish my jungle story.. for you and my myself". [sic]
"Now seems like a good time to let my hair down for a few days,"
"Now seems like a good time to let my hair down for a few days," Olivia wrote as she shared a photo of herself relaxing on a plane. "I am bursting screaming crying at the seamsss to share with you the tele things I have coming," she added.
The 32-year-old was due to appear on the show last year but was forced to pull out of the show after just one episode. She appeared briefly last year but medical concerns meant that her jungle journey was cut short.
ITV said at the time: "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 a further investigation. She has been absolutely brilliant and she'll be very much missed on the show."
After returning home, Olivia revealed she had been found to have anemia and was taken to the hospital.
In an interview with MailOnline, she said: "I was like: ‘What the hell is wrong with me?’ They couldn’t give me an answer, they just told me that they had to get me to the hospital immediately.
