Olivia Hawkins has reportedly landed a major deal after finding fame on Love Island.
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.
According to The UK Sun, Olivia has landed a modelling deal with PrettyLittleThing, just months after her stint in the South African villa.
A source told the publication: “It’s huge. This deal will make Olivia a global star.”
“She’s been a fan of PrettyLittleThing for ages – and now to be signed up with them is a dream come true. She’s over the moon.”
The news comes after Olivia confirmed she’s single following her split from Maxwell, but revealed a lot of men have been sliding into her DMs.
She told the publication: “I’m single, I’m happy and I don’t need a man. For now, I’m happy as I am.”
“I’ve got all the wrong sorts sliding into my DMs. That’s not for me. It’s good that my DMs are never dry though.”
Prior to this, Maxwell addressed his split from Olivia on the Murad Merali podcast, saying: “The main thing I would say with the whole situation, when you’re in the villa and even just after the villa but you’re still in South Africa together, it’s a very different environment.”
“All that you have to focus on in that period of time is each other and kind of just being on holiday together and it’s kind of easy to have a great time when you’re on holiday,” Maxwell continued.
“But once you come back home and there are all these other things going on that then take your attention and take your focus.”
“It really gives you the opportunity to look at it and think is there really longevity in this situation or is it that we’ve connected and really got on but outside in the real world we’re just not too sure if it has that same longevity to it.”
