Fans Discover Olivia Hawkins Appeared On Love Island Before

New host, new villa...same Olivia from 2019!


This season of Love Island is unlike any of its predecessors, with new host Maya Jama, and a new villa. But not everything is new, as it turns out one of this year’s islanders appeared on the 2019 season of the reality series.

Olivia Hawkins introduced herself as a ring girl and actress. Well, she put those acting skills to good use when she appeared on Love Island season five.

So no, you’re not misremembering, Olivia wasn’t a contestant, but she appeared in the first episode helping to introduce the islanders. The 27-year-old starred in the opening montage, introducing contestant Joe Garratt, acting as a costumer at the sandwich truck, he was working at.

This wasn’t the first time fans were shock to discover Olivia had showed up on their tellys before.

Viewers also recognised Olivia from her cameo on long-running BBC soap, Eastenders.

Olivia was seen in the background of the 18th of January’s episode. Appearing in Walford’s nightclub ,Peggy’s Bar, behind iconic character Sam Mitchell.

Olivia has had a rocking time in the villa, having explored her feelings for Tom, and friend zoned Will.

Last night, Olivia and Kai shared a kiss, and admitted they feel a connection for each other.

So could this couple last?
