Olivia Hawkins has shared her heartache as she revealed the death of her beloved grandmother.
The 28-year-old shot to fame after appearing on the 2023 winter series of the popular dating show, which was filmed in South Africa.
The ring girl was dumped from the show alongside her then-beau Maxwell Samuda, and the couple split shortly afterwards.
Just months after leaving the Love Island villa, Olivia has revealed her beloved grandmother has sadly passed away.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, the former ring girl shared sweet throwback snaps.
She wrote: “1934-2023. Love you Nannie 🕊️🫶🏻. Forever in our hearts 🤍🤍.”
Olivia’s grandmother would have been 90 years old next year.
Olivia previously teased her return to Love Island, sparking speculation fans will see her on either Love Island Games or Love Island: All Stars.
Taking to TikTok last month, the reality star dropped a major hint that she could make her villa return.
Olivia lip-synced to the viral audio: “I took over a year off and cut you b**ches some slack. Tell a friend to tell a friend – She’s back!”
The Love Island star captioned the video: “My anthem if I walk back through those villa doors 😉😉.”
