Who is Olivia Attwood?

Love Island star-turned-documentary maker Olivia Attwood first found fame after appearing on the ITV reality dating series.

She’s also starred on Celebs Go Dating as well as ITV’s The Games.

When was she on Love Island?

Olivia appeared on series three of Love Island, back in 2017.

During her stint on the ITV reality series, she was coupled up with Chris Hughes, but the pair split seven months after leaving the villa, after their own spin-off series Christ & Olivia: Crackin’ On.

Does she have a boyfriend?

Olivia is engaged to footballer fiancé Bradley Dack, and recently admitted she’ll be missing ‘the s**ging’ while she’s away for four weeks.

It’s been a fairly rocky road for Olivia and Bradley, who dated before she found fame on ITV’s Love Island in 2017.
