Olivia Hawkins may be making moves to find love in South Africa on hit show Love Island but that’s not all she can do. As an aspiring actress, the Brighton lass has had a number of minor roles, and now she can add one more to her list.
In her introductory VT for the ITV2 dating show, Olivia described herself as a ring-girl as well as an actress but no one expected to see her acting so soon, and definitely not while appearing on Love Island. Fans of both Love Island and EastEnders noticed the brunette beauty making a cameo appearance on BBC’s long running soap drama on Wednesday night.
In the scene, the 27 year-old was dressed all in black with her hair in a high ponytail walking into Peggy’s, the resident nightclub on the BBC soap, before looking over her shoulder and giving her now well-known side eye.

Fans of the shows were all over social media last night sharing their shock at seeing her on the show. On Twitter @giudiceaydin said: “Olivia Hawkins from #LoveIsland in tonight’s EastEnders!”, before adding: “Olivia Hawkins Supremacy #LoveIsland.”
While others questioned if it was actually her, and were in complete surprise over seeing her on their screens. One viewer, @mxyx66_ said: “IS THAT OLIVIA IN EASTENDERS #EastEnders #LoveIsland”, while @hayleysoen said: “Lmao not Olivia from Love Island making a cameo on EastEnders tonight #LoveIsland #EastEnders".
It seems that Olivia is really throwing her hat into the ring as far as acting goes, she even hopes to make it as a cast member on the show one day. “It would be a full circle moment to go on and be one of the characters - even if I was just a drop-in that would be fun", reported the Mirror Online.
Only time will tell if Olivia can reach her dream, but for now you can see her on Love Island from 9pm.
