I’m A Celebrity fans will be surprised to see ‘the real’ Olivia Attwood in the jungle, says Towie star Bobby Norris
STAR of The Only Way Essex, Bobby Norris, has revealed that people might be surprised to see Olivia Attwood ‘stripped back’ in the I’m A Celebrity jungle.
Bobby’s close pal Olivia is one of many famous faces getting ready to star on the new series, which begins on Sunday.
In an exclusive chat with The Sun, Bobby said he’s throwing his support behind Olivia.
The 36-year-old also revealed how he expects she’ll come across to viewers on the show.
He said of the Love Island star: “I don’t think she’ll be controversial, but I think she’ll definitely give things a good go.
“Coming from Essex and being on Towie a lot of people are used to the glam of everything so people will find it interesting to see that side of her where there is no makeup artist or hairdresser. That’s the beauty of it.

“I love that we get to see the real them and stripped back on the show.”
The former Love Island star - who is the first I'm A Celeb signing from the ITV dating show -is set to become a millionaire after raking in £500,000 in just two years.
Olivia has already been , and looked scared as she approached a helicopter.
She pouted nervously as she was snapped being filmed putting on a bright green harness, receiving instructions from safety officials.
Bobby also revealed why he’s opted not to watch the recent series of Towie during his chat with The Sun.
Bobby rose to fame on the hit show after spending a decade as a fan favourite.
But in 2021, the star quit the reality show in a bid to focus on his presenting career which has gone from strength to strength.
Despite paving a successful career on the show, Bobby has opted not to watch recent episodes of Towie though and shared why.
The star explained: “I haven’t watched any of the new series. I did the show for 10 years and I loved being part of it but the last series I filmed was really difficult.
“It was the hardest and worst series I did in 10 years.
“I did over 300 episodes but it was such a hard series. The last one was particularly difficult so I haven’t tuned in or seen the latest series.”
Bobby said he thinks that the final series he filmed may subconsciously be the reason why he’s chosen to bow out of watching the new series.
“I have kept my hand in with the show and I’ve done interviews and the After Party Show, but after that ended, because there was no reason to watch and because the last one was so horrendous, I think I’ve subconsciously swerved it.”
Away from his reality show fame, Bobby has been fronting TV and radio shows, including the very successful Access All Areas podcast with Stephen Leng.
When he hasn’t got his showbiz head on, the 36-year-old has found a passion in working out at the gym, and wows fans with his chiselled physique on social media.
He also has an adorable dog, named Baby, who he discussed with pride.
