Olivia Attwood strips topless to reveal injury after gruelling training for Holly Willoughby’s new ITV show The Games

OLIVIA Attwood revealed her back injury after a gruelling training session for ITV’s The Games.

The Love Island star, 30, stripped topless and showed fans the physio tape that was stuck to her shoulders and upper back.

Styling her blonde tresses in a high updo, the former Towie favourite looked glum after suffering a painful looking injury.

She captioned it: “Not exactly ideal 😤.”

The reality star has clearly been pushing herself to her limits for Holly Willoughby’s new game show.

It comes after co-star Christine McGuinness collapsed in a heap after a sun-soaked sprint with TV star Olivia.

The former Real Housewives of Cheshire star, 34, dressed in a black sports bra and matching leggings, kneeled down on the track as she attempted to catch her breath.

She then gave in completely and sprawled out on the course.

Yet despite not going the distance, Christine certainly looked the part, matching her hair bobble to her attire.

She was seen jogging with ex Love Island star Olivia as the pair were put through their paces in the first challenge.

Liv could be seen using her elbows to power her through and, after her triumph, made a casual phone call on the side of the track.

Olivia and Christine are strapping on their trainers, pulling on their swimsuits and getting on their bikes alongside 10 other celebrities.

The ITV show, hosted by Holly Willoughby and Freddie Flintoff, will also feature Mel B’s daughter Phoenix Brown, song writer Chelcee Grimes and Harry Potter actor Josh Herdman.

The Sun previously told how TV star Wes Nelson and Corrie’s Colson Smith will also be taking part.

Newsreader Lucrezia Millarini, Emmerdale actor Rebecca Sarker and actor Ryan Thomas are the final three names who will go head-to-head in a range of sporting challenges for the new series.

The Games will also see Alex Scott as trackside reporter and Chris Kamara as commentator.

Meanwhile, the six male and six female competitors will battle it out in the athletics arena, the swimming pool, gymnasium and velodrome.

Each will put their sporting prowess to the test in events from the 100-meter sprint to diving, racking up points on the medals table. 

As well as live coverage of the events, each episode will feature the celebrities’ preparation as they’re taught the sports from scratch by some of the UK’s top coaches.

Following their gruelling training programme leading up to the competition, as they aim to reach their peak physical condition.  

As the leader board takes shape with each night, the series will culminate in an exhilarating final showdown in which one male champion and one female champion will be crowned.

Last year, The Sun exclusively revealed how Holly Willoughby’s show had been postponed due to Covid.
