Your guide to Olivia Atwood's Bad Boyfriends series 2
Olivia is back with her hit dating show!
Last updated 15th Sep 2025
Although she's happily married to footballer Bradley Dack, former Love Island star Olivia Attwood is keen to help out the public with their love lives, with her landing ITV2/ST2 reality series Bad Boyfriends last year - and now, fans will be happy to hear it's back for another series!
That's right, Olivia, who has worked with ITV/STV before on shows such as Olivia Meets Her Match, Getting Filthy Rich and The Price of Perfection, will be returning to our screens with series two of Bad Boyfriends - as the show hits over an impressive 11 million streams on ITVX.
On top of that, Olivia will also be back with new instalments of her documentary series - the award-winning Getting Filthy Rich and The Price of Perfection, as well as a brand new reality show called The Heat in 2026.
What is Olivia's Bad Boyfriends?
Cheaters, DM sliders and badly behaved boyfriends have been warned! Olivia's new series saw eight unsuspecting bad boyfriends be flown out to a Greek island under the premise of filming a series about manhood and bromance in a hedonistic holiday mecca.
Of course, this wasn't the case at all, as Olivia quickly appeared to make the boys aware of the show's true purpose - to help make them better boyfriends.
As the girlfriends arrived to surprise their boyfriends, they competed in a series of challenges in order to help become the most-improved boyfriend.
For the show's second series, bosses promise that in 2025 viewers can expect 'new and outrageous twists and turns', as Olivia continues on her mission to transform another batch of wayward boys.
Olivia says: "Becoming the host of my own show Bad Boyfriends this year was a dream project to work on and I am so grateful to be able to do it all again for Season 2. Together with the incredible behind the scenes teams we've got so much in store for 2025, I can't wait for you all to see what's coming."
Upon the show's first launch in 2024, ITV/STV said of the premise: 'Expect tough love, lots of humour and plenty of mischief, alongside unexpected revelations and explosive scenes along the way. Can the couples get back on track with Olivia’s help? And how will the girlfriends react when the spotlight is turned on them?'
Just like all good reality TV shows, the series was packed full of dramatic eliminations, before one boy - former badly-behaved boyfriend Bayley - was crowned the winner, but left facing a huge dilemma...
