The ITV2 star told how the deception was ‘weird’
It came as Olivia was filming with Love Island narrator Iain on his show Buffering
The actress and boxing ring girl found fame on the ITV2 dating show earlier this year.
Yet she had an illustrious film and TV career beforehand, starring in a Bond movie and being Michelle Keegan’s body-double as well as ITV show Buffering.
Iain, 35, was at the helm of the latter – and it was then when she was forced to deceive him.
Olivia told the Daily Star: “There was a thing I did called Buffering with Iain Stirling.
“That was so funny actually because I remember I was on set and getting a call from the [Love Island] producers.
“He was sat on the opposite side of the room.
“It was a really weird moment because I remember whispering to someone on the phone like ‘Iain is here with me’, and they were like that’s so weird.”
Earlier this week, Olivia let slip the secret phrase stars use to be removed from the villa.
Olivia talked about needing some time out from filming during the hectic daily schedule at the South African villa.
She told OK! Magazine the key to securing the down-time was to say a particular sentence, straight to camera.
The star said: “You don’t really get a break – you’re having conversations all of the time, so many that the public don’t even see, and it can get overwhelming.
“I used to go up to the terrace and take 20 minutes for myself, and I would just look at the camera that’s positioned there and say ‘I need 20 minutes’, so the producers knew I just needed some time to myself.”
