Love Island isn’t her first stint on TV as she stood in for Brassic star Michelle Keegan while shooting an ad for the actress’ Very campaign in 2017.
She has also starred in various music videos for well known pop stars and played a waitress in James Bond with Daniel Craig.
When asked if she’d like to appear on BBC soap EastEnders, the star explained that she’s already been on it.
Olivia exclusively told HOAR: “Funnily enough I actually did doubling for Whitney [Dean] as well in one of the New Year’s episodes.
“So that would be a very full circle moment to go on and be one of the characters even if it was just a drop in.
“It’s amazing, the crew on there are so lovely.
“Shona is lovely. Amazing singer as well.”
Shona McGarty, 31, has played Whitney in EastEnders since 2008.
Olivia is hopeful to find love in the villa.
Speaking about what she will bring to the show, the stunner told ITV: “I’ll bring fun, vibes, I’m a very confident, bubbly person…. maybe a little bit of drama!”
And she’s looking for love, admitting: “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.”
- Love Island returns this Monday at 9pm on ITV2
