She may seem like an acquired taste in the villa, but Love Island bombshell Olivia Hawkins has already racked up quite the impressive friends list among a wealth of showbiz pals.
The 27 year old ring gurl is currently coupled up with Maxwell Samuda in the South African series as the pair hope to prove their love is strong enough to win the show and take home a cash prize.
However the Brighton native was rubbing shoulders with a whole host os reality stars long before she was catapulted to fame on this year’s edition of the ITV dating show.
With stars such as Amber Gill, Sam Faiers and Eve Gale all having crossed paths with Olivia in the past, we take a closer look at the bombshell’s formidable friend list as the series finale looms.
One of Olivia’s most unexpected admirers, is 24 year old Eastenders star Zack Morris, who appears to be more than familiar with the Islander after he was spotted liking a slew of her photos on Instagram.
The soap star, who is best known for playing Keegan Baker in the BBC soap, was quick to hit the heart on a selection of Olivia’s bikini photos, as well as another sultry photo which featured the bombshell in a skimpy black mini dress.
Another unexpected connection, is Olivia’s relationship with soap star Michelle Keegan.
Best known for her role as Tina McIntyre in Coronation Street and starring as Sergeant Georgie Lane in the BBC drama series Our Girl, it may be difficult for fans to imagine how the two first crossed paths, but it was actually while acting as a body double for Michelle that the pair met.
Olivia acted as a star in for the former Corrie star all the way back in 2017, when she was featured in a Very campaign.
In a similar vein, Olivia even previously stood in for Harry Potter star Emma Watson during the recent HBO reunion special!
If that wasn’t all, Olivia has also had some fairly impressive brushes with musical talent too, after she revealed she had starred in music videos for both Craig David and DJ Tom Zanetti.
There was even a minor brush with Hollywood on her already impressive resume too, as Olivia had a small part as a waitress in a James Bond movie alongside Daniel Craig – and enjoyed a ten minute conversation with Jason Statham when the pair starred alongside each other in one of his films.
On the small screen a host of household names have also been quick to show their support for the star, by liking her photos on social media and cheering her on in the villa.
Among these stars was TOWIE icon Pete Wicks who liked a sexy snap of the brunette beauty posing for a selfie.
While EastEnders star Max Bowden also liked one of her latest snaps taken on New Years Day, just days before she left for the Love Island villa.
A number of former Islanders have also leant their support, including Aaron Francis, Joseph Garratt, and Eve and Jess Gale.
Will the vote of confidence be enough to cheer her to victory?
Love Island continues every night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
