Olivia Attwood looks glam as she faces her fear of heights after shock I’m A Celeb exit

OLIVIA Attwood got her adrenaline pumping again by heading 35ft up in the air - months after facing her fear of heights on I'm A Celebrity.

The 31-year-old was forced out of the ITV series after just two days when a routine blood test found that she was "dangerously anaemic".

Before that she'd overcome acrophobia when she jumped out of a helicopter to get into camp.

Today the Love Island star took a ride down a giant McDonald's cold cup at London's Southbank to celebrate the launch of a brand new competition, Winning Sips.

Olivia said as she officially opened the slide: “Jumping out a helicopter in Australia was the most amazing experience of my life and when McDonald’s invited me to be the first to ride this giant slide, I couldn’t resist to get my thrill-seeking fix again!”  

She was pictured handing out hot, golden Fries – perfect for a post-slide snack, as well as limited-edition McDonald’s merchandise ranging from bucket hats to limited edition coca-cola glasses.

Olivia's been keeping since her unexpected exit from I'm A Celeb last year.

The star was left devastated by the sudden end to her jungle journey.

Despite losing out on the chance to compete to be Queen of the Jungle, it seems show bosses are keen for her to return and ITV have now signed her up again to appear on the hit reality show.

A source said: “Olivia's time in the jungle last year was to give her a platform so that ITV could give her a big show.

“They had a huge future mapped out for her. She's a big draw for the much-sought-after younger viewers.

“Then it all came to an end after her blood tests came back.”

They continued to tell the : “Now they are getting her back for this year and will start the whole plan again. ITV bosses know she will be so popular on I'm A Celeb… and that viewers will just love her.”

Olivia admitted she was struggling to come to terms with her I'm A Celebrity exit while it aired on TV.

But the star focussed on her work, including more TV projects and becoming the face of brands like McDonald's.

Winning Sips launches on Wednesday, March 29 - with customers able to peel the sticker on the front of their medium or large soft drink to find out if you’re a lucky instant winner, or head to the McDonald’s App for a chance to play and win.
