When was Olivia Attwood on Love Island?

Well, she certainly had that!
Initially coupled up with Sam Gowland, she then moved on to Chris Hughes before getting into a love triangle with him and Mike Thalassitis.
Chris won her affection and the pair enjoyed a rollercoaster of a relationship.

The couple came in third place, and managed to get through their exit interview with Caroline Flack without an argument.
In June 2019, speaking to , Olivia said: “I don’t think anyone ever goes on ‘Love Island’ for love. Anyone who tries to claim they do is weird, it’s just like embarrassing.
“Like, come on, there are easier ways to meet someone. I went on for the experience, not thinking I was going to meet my husband.
“Now, when people go in, they know what’s up for grabs, but we had no idea how big it was until we left.”
She also said that the instant fame changed a lot of the people she shared the villa with and insisted that boys are particularly “affected” by it.

“Guys come out and all the Insta followers and attention goes to their heads.”
