Inside Olivia Bowen's incredible nursery with elephant mural, dog bed and alphabet rug

Olivia Bowen has shown off her incredible new nursery as she prepares to welcome her first child with her husband Alex this summer.

The duo, who came second on the 2016 series of Love Island, are getting ready for the arrival of their baby, believed to be expected in June.

And that includes getting their house ready to welcome their new arrival- with the mum-to-be showing off their brand new nursery on social media.

Olivia took to Instagram on Tuesday morning with two snaps of the beautiful room after it was completed, leaving her three million followers wowed by the level of detail.

It features a lovely elephant mural on the wall, an armchair with a footrest and an alphabet rug.

The room seems to have an animal theme, as alongside the elephant mural, there's a dog bed, a tiger cushion and a woven basket in the corner with a face on it.

In one of the pictures, we can see Olivia glowing as she holds her bump while looking through baby outfits in the wardrobe, while the dog bed is being put to good use by Winnie, one of the couple's pugs, in another.

Fellow ex-Islander Faye Winter wrote "So beautiful", while Made in Chelsea star and radio DJ Ashley James said "That wallpaper is the dream!! The whole room" following it up with three love heart eyes emojis.

Olivia confirmed her pregnancy in a sweet post to her three million followers at the start of the year.

On New Year's Day, she wrote "Happy New… Baby Bowen" alongside three polaroid pictures - one of Alex kissing her stomach, a second of a babygrow along with ultrasounds and a third of the couple holding a small pair of socks.

The nursery post comes after Olivia revealed she feels everything she does is 'scrutinised by the mum police'.

In an and open and honest piece she penned for Grazia magazine, Olivia said having “something so precious” growing inside can feel “quite scary” and preparing for a new arrival isn't unlike going into a new job completely unprepared.

She added that she's grateful for all the parents and parents-to-be who have kindly offered advice and answered her questions at this stressful but exciting time in her life.

But, alongside the thousands of kind words she’s received in recent weeks, she’s also received countless “nasty messages” from people on social media, as well as several “scaremongering” messages and the constant reminder that life will never be the same.
