Earlier today The Sun exclusively revealed the Love Island star had quit the jungle after just 24 hours.
The 31-year-old was forced to withdraw from the ITV show on medical grounds.
Olivia will still be paid for her time on the programme, which is reportedly between £100k to £125k.
“Olivia wanted to continue and because it was the medical team’s decision she has done nothing wrong and so should be in line to get paid,” a TV source told The Mirror.
The reality star made her first appearance on the show last night.
