Love Island's Olivia Hawkins has appeared on the show before 😱

She featured in 2019!

Author: Alex RossPublished 19th Jan 2023

Love Island 2023 Islander Olivia Hawkins has been causing a stir on the show so far, but it turns out the 27-year-old from Brighton has actually featured on the programme before... Sort of!

As fans of the show will know, every new series kicks off the first episode with a slightly cringe montage of the brand new Islanders, usually carrying out their jobs as they pack up to head into the villa.

Now, after watching Olivia get to know the likes of Will Young, Tom Clare and Haris Namani on the Winter series, eagle-eyed fans have noticed Olivia appeared on the 2019 montage alongside Islander Joe Garratt.

Actress Olivia, who has appeared in a James Bond movie alongside Daniel Craig, can be seen walking up to Joe's food truck in the clip, ordering a sandwich as she flirted with the catering company owner.

Before heading into the villa, ring girl Olivia revealed she's got quite the CV when it comes to celebrities.

As well as being a ring girl for KSI, Olivia has also worked as a body double for both Emma Watson and Michelle Keegan, and she's appeared in a film alongside A-list actor Jason Statham.

But perhaps her biggest claim to fame is starring in a James Bond film alongside Mr Bond himself Daniel Craig.

She told bosses: "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."

After finding herself on the 'subs bench' during Monday night's launch show with new host Maya Jama, Olivia was forced to couple up with farmer Will Young.

However, Olivia was quick to express she only saw Will as a friend, going on to enjoy chats with 21-year-old TV salesman Haris Namani. The arrival of bombshell Tom Clare then threw another spanner into the works, when the semi-professional footballer chose to steal Olivia from Will.

Despite this, it looks like Olivia is still keen on getting to know Haris more ahead of this weekend's first recoupling.

Love Island continues every night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
