LOVE Island star Anna-May Robey has defended her pal Olivia Hawkins after she was accused of playing up to the cameras – but admitted that she knows "exactly what she's doing".
Boxing ring girl and actress Olivia, 27, has been slammed by fans for "game playing" after causing a string of rows and talking behind her fellow Islanders back.
But Welsh beauty Anna, 20, said Olivia has a "TV personality" and knows how to work the camera and get airtime.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Anna said: "Olivia is lovely, but she's got a very good TV personality.
"I don't think she and Maxwell have chemistry.
"She knows exactly what she's doing in front of the camera."

Anna went on: "Sanam is a much better match for Kai than Olivia – I wasn't sure if he was playing it safe at first as Ron told him that Olivia would walk back in with someone."
Speaking at the Superdrug Present 2023 event, Anna and co-star Ellie Spence, 25, said there is only one winner in their eyes.
Ellie told us: "I honestly think Tom and Samie will win – Tom loves Samie and they're a good little couple."
While Anna said: "Will and Jessie will make it, they love each other," to which Ellie added: "He's in love, he loves her."

Ellie also raced to defend her good pal Tanya, 22, after she was accused of "gaslighting" Martin last week.
"Tanya is so nice, when you're so in love with somebody you don't care," Ellie explained.
"I don't think she meant it maliciously, she just wanted to say her piece.
"The villa is small, what was she meant to do…run to the other side of the villa."
Anna added: "She's making the most of her villa experience."
Since leaving the villa, the ladies have not been short of offers.
Anna spilled the beans on which Casa Amor boy has been sending her cheeky DMs.
She revealed: "Frankie slid into my DMs but he's not for me – but I would return to Love Island for the All Star version.
Ellie said she would also jump at the chance of returning to the ITV2 dating show, saying: "I would 100 per cent return, it was the best experience ever."
