What was the pregnancy like for Olivia?

Despite the many changes her body was going through, a few months prior, the new mum gushed about how much love she had for her new body. She admitted that, for the first time ever, she truly loved the skin she was in. In an interview, she said:

I don't think I've ever truly loved my body but right now I literally could stare all day! I know it's going to get difficult for me in the last months and after I think, but soaking in this self-love right now.

In an interview with MailOnline, the blonde beauty expressed how proud and excited she was to be expecting and to have husband Alex Bowen be the father of her children. She explained:

I'm so excited to become a mum. It feels very surreal still to even say it, but we both can't wait for the next part of our lives. Alex is going to be the best dad - he's so caring, kind and a big kid at heart.

And added:

My pregnancy is going really fast; We still both can't quite believe it's happening. We're having to stop ourselves buying all the baby clothes at the moment, we just get too excited.
