Loose Women Charlene shuts down sensitive topic as she fears co-star backlash

The Loose Women tickled fellow panellist Olivia Attwood when they had a light-hearted joke about her blink and you'll miss it I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! experience.

Love Island star Olivia was a jungle camper last year and was "heartbroken" when she had to leave the show after just 24 hours for medical reasons. It came up on Monday's instalment of the ITV daytime programme when the Loose Women chatted to former camper David Dickinson.

The talk was all about the jungle, as Loose Women's Charlene White has also braved the camp. She and David were chatting about what a memorable experience it had been and saying that although it was tough it was a once in a lifetime kind of thing.

But Charlene then jokingly shut it down in case it was a sore subject for Olivia. "We can't talk too much about it because Olivia of course exited…" said the TV star. Someone else then chimed in to say that she was only there "for a day".

"A day?" asked fellow panellist Brenda Edwards. Olivia pretended to be a bit miffed, telling the others: "Yeah I just didn't fancy it!" They then all burst into laughter.

The reality star was thought to be one of the favourites for the 2022 series and her departure came as a bit of a shock. At the time it was known that she was exiting for medical reasons and the TV beauty later confirmed that a blood test had revealed she was anaemic.

She told the Mail on Sunday a while after leaving the series that when she had been re-tested in hospital she was fine, but that show bosses thought it was best she not take part. "'I was absolutely devastated," she admitted.

"I am not a crier but I started to cry, it was so emotional," she went on. "I was heartbroken and gutted."

Before this year's series started, many fans of the progarmme thought that Olivia could jet Down Under for another go at being crowned Queen of the Jungle.
