Love Island star sparks rumours they are replacing Olivia Attwood on I’m A Celeb after being spotted in Australia

A LOVE Island star has sparked rumours that they are set to replace Olivia Attwood on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.

The reality TV star - who rose to fame on the ITV2 dating show in 2019 - could be seen posing in Australia in an Instagram snap.

Joe Garratt took to his Instagram on Tuesday afternoon to show off a snap of himself cuddling up with a koala on a trip Down Under.

He sparked a frenzy from his fans who were certain it was a "promotional photo" ahead of him appearing on I'm A Celeb.

His followers were convinced the TV star had been flown to Oz in order to replace fellow Love Island star Olivia, 31.

The Islander was forced to quit her time on I'm A Celeb after just 24 hours following a "medical drama" in camp yesterday.

Joe, 25, could be seen smiling wide for the camera in a large blue bucket hat as he visited Australia Zoo, holding onto a koala.

"Australian citizenship pending," he captioned the post, as his fans flooded the comments section to quiz him as to why he was in Oz.

"Why did I think this was a promo pic for you entering I'm A Celeb," fellow Love Island star Belle Hassan asked, alongside laughing emojis.

"Joe is in the Jungle?" a second chimed in, to which Joe teased back: "Send me in there!"

"I wish you could go in I'm A Celebrity, would love that," a third added, as Joe responded alongside a shrugging emoji: "I'm up for it."

It comes after Olivia Attwood was forced to leave the jungle, after she was made to withdraw on medical grounds.

The medical team ruled it was "not safe" for Olivia to return to camp - but in a cryptic message tonight her rep said: "You will hear the truth from her in due course."

Writing on Olivia's Instagram story, a "Team Liv" spokesman wrote: "To say Olivia is heartbroken would be an understatement.

"She dreamed of doing I'm A Celebrity for years, and was absolutely loving every second of the show and throwing herself into jungle life feet first (just as we knew she would).

"However, for reasons beyond her control her journey has been cut short. Your support and kind words have meant the absolute world to her, now as much as it always has.

"You will hear the truth from Olivia in due course and she will be back on your screens in the New Year."
