Ah, Olivia Attwood – the name rings a bell, doesn’t it? The Love Island contestant-turned-presenter is back at it again, and it seems she’s ready to jump back into the villa, or at least pretend, for the television viewers who just can’t get enough of reality romance. I mean, who doesn’t want to watch overly tanned people confuse infatuation with genuine love under the guise of social media theatrics?
So Olivia, who has somehow managed to be the face of her new show, Bad Boyfriends, is now playing the self-proclaimed “available” card for the hosting gig of Love Island. Bless her, she says, “consider me available!” My only question is, will she be handing out ‘emotional connection’ therapy cards at the entrance? I can just picture her shaking her head disapprovingly while saying, “Honestly, you lot need to stop dating boys who look like they’ve just washed up from a beach party!”
Now, she’s had quite the transformation from trying to find love in the villa back in 2017 to wrangling wayward lads into respectful boyfriends on her own show. Apparently, Olivia feels a deep connection with Love Island, which I assume is about as deep as a kiddie pool filled with confetti and anxiety. But you’ve got to love the enthusiasm, right? It’s like watching your friend try to convince you Splenda is a real substitute for sugar. Well, if you squint hard enough…
Her admiration for current host Maya Jama is beautifully wrapped in a layer of polite rivalry – the word “smashing it” has never seemed so sweet yet slightly menacing. It’s great to know that instead of backstabbing, she’s merely plotting her own takeover, saying, “I wouldn’t turn it down. I’d feel like I was going home!” If television can be compared to a dysfunctional family reunion, then Olivia just scored the “needy cousin who appears whenever there’s free food” bingo.
And let’s talk numbers! Olivia’s leapt from “contestant” to “presenter” at a remarkable rate. She’s gone from sharing a bed with potential heartbreakers to sharing screen time with her very own six-figure hosting contract. Bravo, Olivia! In only six years, she’s achieved what most of us only dream about: turning self-embarrassment into a paycheck!
Of course, her numerous spin-offs have amassed quite the following – it’s like watching your favorite reality TV soap opera, except the characters are less nuanced and slightly more vacuous. Bad Boyfriends sounds like an adrenaline rush for viewers, right? I can imagine it’s a masterclass in what not to do while dating, narrated by someone who once likely dated a man solely for his hair gel.
Oh, and lest we forget – not content with just the sugar-coated dating show formula, Olivia’s dabbled in hard-hitting documentaries too. Who knew tackling Gen Z’s obsession with cosmetic surgery would involve actually going under the knife? Talk about commitment! But remember the mess of I’m a Celeb when she was booted out faster than you can say, “Oh no, not another ‘I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here’” contestant saga!” She’s certainly seen it all, from jungle drama to controlling a panel of middle-aged women discussing whether the latest TikTok dance is legitimate art.
Let’s wrap this up: whether Olivia ends up replacing Maya or continues to carve her niche as the “queen of reality TV” (or “goddess of dating disasters,” whichever floats your boat), one thing’s for sure – at least we can expect some level of entertainment… or at the very least, a few cheeky one-liners that might age about as well as milk left out in a summer heatwave. Remember folks, reality TV might be scripted, but it’s best enjoyed with a hefty dose of sarcasm and an iced coffee.

Olivia Attwood expressed enthusiasm for potentially hosting an upcoming series of Love Island, enthusiastically stating, ‘consider me available’ after her impressive stint as the host of another TV show.
At 33, the Bad Boyfriends star rose to fame after seeking romance in the Love Island villa during its 2017 season and has since emerged as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.
Speaking candidly to the Sun, she shared, ‘I have such an emotional connection to that show and the people that make it,’ emphasizing her deep-rooted ties to the beloved series.
Highlighting her devotion, she added, ‘Even if I had some reason, I couldn’t turn it down because my heart would feel like: ‘I’m going home! Back to the mother ship!’
‘So if that day ever comes, consider me available,’ she concluded, leaving the door wide open for a potential return to the show that elevated her career.
Olivia Attwood said ‘consider me available’ to host Love Island following her recent success hosting another TV show
Maya has been the host of Love Island since 2023, and her third series aired this summer. She took on the role after Laura Whitmore quit in 2022
While expressing her eagerness for the role, Attwood did not shy away from praising Maya Jama, commending her for ‘smashing it’ as the host, showcasing her respect for her fellow presenter.
Jama has successfully helmed Love Island since she took over the role last year, following the departure of Laura Whitmore.
After finishing third with her ex-partner, Chris Hughes, in the 2017 season of Love Island, Olivia has consistently partnered with ITV, establishing herself as one of the most successful contestants from the show.
Her journey has also included notable spin-offs, such as Chris and Olivia: Crackin’ On and Olivia Meets Her Match, which have only added to her credit in the industry.
In 2022, Attwood successfully transitioned from reality television to presenting, taking on serious topics in documentaries that addressed the contemporary obsession with cosmetic surgery — even undergoing the knife herself — while confronting online trolls face-to-face.
Beyond her documentary work, she serves as a recurring panellist on Loose Women, showcasing her versatility and charisma.
Earlier this year, she announced a significant career milestone, confirming she would host a new dating show titled Bad Boyfriends, which she described as her biggest job to date, wrapping filming in Greece.
Attwood revealed her excitement to her 2.2 million Instagram followers, stating, ‘Guys… I have been keeping a really big secret. BTS from my brand-new ITV reality show, you’re not ready [I don’t actually think I am].’
The Bad Boyfriends star, 33, who tried to find love in the villa in 2017, became the face of her own show where she tries to whip a group of boys into respectful partners
In the short span of six years, Attwood has remarkably transitioned from contestant to presenter, reportedly landing a lucrative six-figure deal to lead the Bad Boyfriends series, which was filmed earlier this summer.
Last June, she celebrated her lavish £200,000 wedding to her footballer boyfriend, Bradley Dack, and mentioned in an interview that while he is ‘ready’ for children, she prefers to focus on her burgeoning career at this time.
Olivia experienced heartache when she had to exit the I’m a Celebrity jungle in 2022 after less than 24 hours, which left her feeling devastated.
Misdiagnosed as anaemic during a routine check-up, she was unexpectedly flown back to the UK due to health concerns.
This abrupt departure not only affected Olivia but was also a setback for the I’m A Celeb brand as many anticipated her confrontational style would engage viewers, especially in her interactions with the controversial former politician, Matt Hancock, who managed to secure third place that year.
In the aftermath, Olivia channeled her frustration into her work, continuing to host documentaries for ITV, further solidifying her place in the entertainment world.
