"I've been a ring girl for KSI, I played a waitress in James Bond with Daniel Craig and I’ve also been a body double for Michelle Keegan and Emma Watson."

Olivia, who describes herself as a "very confident, bubbly person," has said she'll bring fun, vibes, and "maybe a little bit of drama" to the villa. On her reason for joining the winter edition of Love Island, Olivia added: "I'm 27 and I've never been in a relationship so I feel like now I'm really ready to settle down and hopefully find the love of my life."

It comes as Love Island bosses also signed Welsh contestant Anna-May Robey, the payroll administrator from Swansea, who is described by friends and family as an energetic chatterbox, said: "I want a boyfriend, I want to find someone who makes me laugh.

"I've been single for quite a while, my mother is bugging me, she's like, 'You need to find a boyfriend.' I'm just excited to try something new and I think going on Love Island is a good way to meet someone."

Explaining her energy, Anna-May said: "I'm always running around singing and screaming. My parents are always like, 'Shut up!' I work from home all day so I don't really speak to people in person for two or three days a week, so when my father comes home, he'll want to sit down and chill out, and I'm there chewing his ear off! I would definitely say I am a chatterbox."
