It turns out Love Island 2023 star Olivia Hawkins once dated a former contestant.
The actress, who is currently coupled up with bombshell Tom, appeared on a 2019 episode of Footasylum’s Does The Shoe Fit?
The YouTube show sees single ladies go on speed dates with the hosts – including Chunkz, Harry Pinnero, Yung Filly and Love Island star Jack Fowler.
Jack shot to fame after appearing on Love Island in 2018, where he was coupled up with Laura Crane.
During her date with Jack, Olivia opened up about her relationship history and admitted she had “commitment issues”.
A video from Olivia and Jack’s date has since gone viral on TikTok, with one fan commenting: “OMDS I KNEW I RECOGNISED OLIVIA FROM LOVE ISLAND.”

During her pre-show Q&A, Olivia admitted she’s rubbed shoulders with a number of famous faces thanks to her career as a actress and ring girl.
When asked to share her “claim to fame”, the Brighton native confessed: “I did a film with Jason Statham and had a nice 10 minute convo about life.”
“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 studied a degree in Professional Dance and Musical Theatre at the prestigious Bird College, has also starred in music videos for Craig David and DJ Tom Zanetti.
No stranger to the showbiz world, Olivia counts former TOWIE star Sam Faiers as a friend, and she was once booked as a backing dancer for Charli XCX at Wembley Arena.
During her pre-show Q&A, Olivia also confessed she’s never been in a relationship before due to “commitment issues”.
She told ITV: “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.”
“I’m very loyal and have a big heart. When I fall, I fall deep so I would give someone 100% of me as long as they give 100% back. I think I’d be an amazing girlfriend.”
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV and Virgin Media Two.
