I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!'s Olivia Attwood lasted barely a day in the jungle, having had to withdraw from the reality show.
There was plenty of speculation about the reason why, with the star revealing over the weekend that she was "dangerously anaemic".
Now on today's (November 14) This Morning, Attwood sat down with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield to talk in more depth about her short-lived jungle journey.
"There’s loads [of rumours] swirling around the internet and I think 'Olivia Attwood pregnant' was trending on Twitter – and it’s not that, I can assure you – and it’s not that exciting when it boils down to it," she said.

"I was pulled out on my first day in main camp for routine medical checks – which can be blood pressure, giving blood – so I had my blood taken and the results came back that my iron was low, I was showing that I was anaemic.

"Potassium was really low, sodium was really low, so basically all the markers you would look for were low so they consulted with a doctor outside of camp and they said I would need to come to A&E basically off the back of those readings, so I was taken to the nearest A&E department, where they ran their own checks and their checks came back normal.
"Just before leaving the UK I’d had all those checks and everything was normal and the first thing I said to the camp doctor was 'Is that possible for things to change in such a short time?' and he didn’t really have an answer, but that it was not normal."
The reality star said that she has consistently felt fine, and definitely wasn't fainting like the rumours suggested.
She also explained that production were "obviously desperate to have me back in" but because of her test results, she wasn't allowed to. "I think it’s an insurance thing," she added.
"Because they had those readings, they had to seek other party opinions and it’s a collective decision. I think they thought the readings might drop that low again and they wouldn’t be covered because it’s already been flagged up."
Attwood said that she would love to do another series of the show, but thinks it "might be more of a logistical thing to make it work". She added that if it never gets to happen again, it wouldn't be the end of the world.
I'm a Celebrity airs at 9pm on ITV and ITV Hub, while This Morning airs on weekdays from 10am.
