Olivia Hawkins could be returning to this year's Winter Love Island, just one year after her stint in the South African villa. The former islander, who proved rather controversial during her time on the show, has reportedly in talks to join the line-up for Love Island: All Stars, which will air in early 2024.
Olivia was a rather divisive figure during her time in the villa, and producers are said to be hoping that she'll be able to bring the drama if she does indeed return to the show. A TV insider told The Sun: "Liv has had a series of meetings with Love Island bosses and they're really keen to get her in the All Stars villa.
"She was the most memorable and talked-about contestant on Winter Love Island earlier this year, so they know she won't be afraid to ruffle feathers and cause drama. "Final contracts haven't been signed yet as the cast won't officially be set in stone until early January, but Liv is looking like one of the red hot favourites to be in there." OK! have contacted representatives for ITV and Olivia Hawkins.
The rumours come just weeks after Olivia shared that she had been left heartbroken after the death of her beloved grandmother.
Sharing the said news Olivia took to her Instagram Story to share some throwback snaps of her as a young child with her 'Nannie'. In the first snap, a blonde-haired Olivia could be seen on what appeared to be Christmas day as she attempted to brush her Nannie's hair, whilst they both wore red outfits.
In another image shared by Olivia, she and some other young children, presumably her siblings, played foosball as their adoring grandmother looked on, smiling. At the bottom of this snap, a clearly-devastated Olivia wrote: "Forever in our hearts," as she added two heart emojis.
