Love Island new girl Olivia has appeared in James Bond 😲

And that's not her only claim to fame...

Author: Alex RossPublished 10th Jan 2023

She's soon going to appear on one of the biggest TV shows in the UK, but taking part in the 2023 Winter series of Love Island won't be Islander Olivia Hawkins' first taste of fame!

Who is Olivia Hawkins?

27-year-old Olivia from Brighton, who is a ring girl and actress, has not only been a body double for both Michelle Keegan and Emma Watson, but she's also appeared alongside Daniel Craig in James Bond!

Speaking ahead of her entrance into the fancy new villa, Olivia revealed to bosses she played a waitress in a James Bond movie, and despite not specifying which title, she did reveal it was during Daniel Craig's stint as Mr Bond.

Her CV doesn't stop there though, as Olivia has also been in a film with American actor Jason Statham, and worked as a ring girl for KSI.

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."

Although admitting she falls in love very quickly, Olivia has confessed she's never actually been in a relationship.

She said: "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."

However, it sounds like she's remained single out of choice, adding: "Out of choice and maybe because in the past I’ve had commitment issues - but I’d say it’s mainly just the wrong boy, wrong time."

Olivia will enter the villa during Monday night's launch show alongside new host Maya Jama, who can't wait to get started in her new role.

Love Island begins at 9pm on Monday 16th January on ITV2 and ITVX.
