Love Island’s Olivia Hawkins reveals ‘game plan’ on All Stars as she opens up on being show ‘villain’ again
LOVE Island star Olivia Hawkins has revealed her “game plan” for All Stars – after being branded the show “villain” on her series.
The stunning brunette actress, 29, who first appeared on the series in 2023, is set to make her All Stars debut next week.
Controversial Olivia caused a stir during her time on the show, which resulted in viewers complaining about her “toxic” behaviour.
Speaking to The Sun, Olivia said: “I’m just going in as me, I’m going to be confident and bubbly as I always am.
“Hopefully I’ll make new friends, make some more memories, I’m not going in with any preconceived ideas, just like I did last time.
“I have no regrets from the last time, I don’t live with regrets.
“Everything I want to do is in the moment, it’s how I feel and that’s just how everything went.
“I met amazing people and amazing friends and I just can’t believe I get to do it all over again.
“I’m not going in with a game plan, I’m going in as myself, anyone who would go in with a game plan – I don’t know how they would because it would collapse in two seconds, you can’t force anything in there.
“Everything just happens organically, so I’m just going to be me.”
Olivia, who was known for her fiery character and opinions, admitted she’ll still be bringing the drama.
“I am a confident girl, I don’t go into things thinking I want to cause drama or be this controversial person, I just am a confident girl.
“If a situation arise in there, I’ll just face them with how I face them.”
“It’s tiring that label of [being the villain], I’m just me.
“Some people will like me and some people won’t and that’s the same with everyone.
“Everyone is entitled to their opinion, especially with reality television – no one really gets to know you as a person, because there’s only so much they can see.”
It comes after the one-time Michelle Keegan body double split from her on-screen boyfriend Maxwell Samuda, 25, shortly after the show wrapped.
Last year, she spoke to The Sun exclusively after getting booted, and denied being a Mean Girl.
“When people meet me they will see the real me, I’m definitely not a villain.
“Now I’m out of the villa I’m looking forward to people seeing my fun side and my big heart.
“I’m a genuinely lovely person.”
Accused of hypocrisy by viewers, Olivia now understands why she was labelled “toxic”, saying: “I can see how it could be perceived in that way.
“It was never anything where I wanted to make Kai upset, that’s the last thing I would have wanted.
“It does look hypocritical of me, emotions were high.”
