After leaving, a statement was posted on Olivia’s Instagram Stories, stating how "heartbroken" the reality TV star was about not continuing her journey in camp, adding that viewers would find out “in due course” the “truth” about why she left.

An insider went on to tell this tabloid that she couldn’t return to the jungle following her medical check as she broke the Covid bubble in the camp, which would’ve meant another week of isolation before re-entering, which was said to be “impossible”.
