Olivia Attwood is the second I’m A Celebrity name to arrive in Australia hours after co-star Chris Moyles
OLIVIA Attwood has landed in Australia ahead of I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!, which will return to our screens within days.
The 31-year-old is the first Love Island star to ever take part in the show – and admitted she would struggle without sex for four weeks.
Olivia is the second celeb to arrive Down Under after Radio 1 DJ Christ Moyles.
Speaking to The Sun at Brisbane airport today Olivia joked about her biggest fears, telling our reporter on the ground: “I am scared of me, in terms of how long the other campmates can tolerate me. I will get myself in trouble somehow, the usual.”
Asked what she would miss about home, the star said: “God it’s day one so not much at the minute but in three or four days the dogs and my fiancé probably.”
She went on to say she was worried about the lack of intimacy with her footballer fiancé Bradley Dack, joking: “Yeah I mean four weeks and no shagging what can you do?”
The reality star also admitted she has come up with ways to communicate with Brad, as well as their matching bracelets.
“I have got a really cute idea as well so I will save it for in the camp,” she said. “We have got a few little set ups.”
Chris meanwhile refused to confirm if he was taking part, but asked if he was looking forward to spending time in Australia, Chris told us: “It should be nice, fingers crossed anyway.”
On being scared of things in the jungle, he said: “There’s lots of everything in this country, like sport and beer and I am not scared of sport of beer. So I think I will be alright.”
He continued: “I have absolutely no idea what my family and friends would think of me doing I’m a Celebrity. I have never asked them. But I think they would be much more nervous about me doing Antiques Roadshow.”
Laughing he added: “I watch Antiques Roadshow. I love Antiques Roadshow.”

ITV’s flagship reality show is set to broadcast from Australia on Sunday, November 6.
It’s been brought forward this year to allow room in the schedules for the World Cup later in the month.
It means I’m A Celeb fans could now have just two weeks to wait until Ant and Dec return.
Viewers will be glad to see the show back in its Oz base for the first time since 2019, after the pandemic forced ITV to move it to Gwrych Castle, Wales.

But viewers made it clear they were keen to see a return Down Under.
Bosses have signed a bumper line-up of stars to celebrate.
The famous faces include Mike Tindall – the show’s first ever Royal signing – and Boy George.
Comedian Seann Walsh could be swapping the stage for the jungle, while Olivia Attwood could be the first ever Love Island star to enter the jungle.
Other names in the mix include Coronation Street’s Sue Cleaver plus Loose Women star Charlene White.
ITV has begun to ramp up promotion for the new series and last week released a hair-raising ad featuring hosts Ant McPartlin, 46, and Declan Donnelly, 47, hurtling through the air as they skydived down into the jungle, before unfurling parachutes emblazoned with a special message.
The canopies read ‘We’re back!’. Elsewhere in the video, Ant and Dec are seen mid-air as they grimace at the ground rush.
Ant was wearing a canny bush tucker hat ready for his landing.
