Olivia Hawkins is one of the first ten stars set to appear in this year's starting Love Island lineup.
Winter Love Island 2023 is the first of a double helping of the hit ITV dating show coming to ITV2 and ITVX this year. The winter spin-off is returning after a couple of years away and will see a fresh batch of islanders jetting off to a new villa in South Africa to try to find their perfect partners with the help of Love Island's new host, Maya Jama.
Olivia Hawkins was the last girl revealed in the starting lineup, and she's made it clear that she's on the hunt for true romance. When asked what made her sign up for Love Island, 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."
