Olivia Hawkins - a Love Island producers’ pawn
One of the most bizarre claims that Love Island fans made was that Olivia was a producers’ pawn put on the show to stir the drama. However, the ring girl has insisted otherwise and claimed she was her ‘real self’ all throughout.
The actress jokingly told The Sun:
Apparently, my dad is CEO of Love Island. You have to laugh, don't you?
Clearing that she was never a fake contestant, Olivia added:
The truth is I was a real contestant, I was not planted in there for any other ulterior motive.
I was my real self the whole way through.
Further, the star also dismissed any suggestions that show bosses directed her to act a certain way. Olivia explained:
Of course, they have to make a show at the end of the day but nothing was forced.
No acting was going on in there, that was my true self.

Olivia Hawkins says no to reality TV
This comes after Olivia has decided to go back to her ‘normal’ job after leaving the villa. According to The Sun, Olivia has decided to stick to acting in a huge career move. Unlike Ekin-Su, Liam Reardon and Davide, the star wants to pursue her passion rather than taking up more reality shows.
Olivia reportedly trained in musical theatre and would go back to it now. She revealed:
Before I went in I was on my acting journey. I trained in musical theatre.
One day I'd like to go back into musical theatre and just continue with my acting. I was always going to come out and go straight back to what I was before.
She added:
I did Love Island but in terms of reality. For now, I just want to focus on my passion and what I've been doing since I was a child.
Even Casa Amor bombshell Cynthia Osteh-Taiwo has returned to her normal job two weeks after the show.
