Love Island’s Olivia Hawkins ‘dated’ show hunk before joining line up

LOVE Island's Olivia Hawkins had a date with former contestant Jack Fowler before signing up to the ITV show.

The beauty, 27, took part in a speed dating challenge with season four bombshell Jack and YouTube stars Chunkz, Yung Filly and Harry Pinero in an advert for shoe seller Foot Asylum.

Stunning Olivia was one of a number of girls who had the boys battling it out for their affections.

The goal of the game was to discover which lad had the best chat-up game.

There was plenty of chemistry during the one-on-ones, and the boys were blown away by their date.

Harry told Olivia she had an "amazing" face, while Jack also praised her looks, receiving a compliment in return.

During the speed dates, Olivia revealed she was a keen dancer, laid back and enjoyed partying in Brighton.

Love Island fans were surprised to see her appear in the video.

One wrote: "Wth she looks so different - not in a rude way. She just looks and sounds so different."

Another said: "She looks and sounds so different here, good spot."

It isn't Olivia's first brush with an Islander though.

The actress was cast on the show's 2019 series as part of contestant Joe Garratt's promotional video.

She is seen ordering from sandwich-maker Joe who asks her: "How do you like your baps, sweetheart?"

He then makes he an enormous sandwich before walking off with it.

Olivia looks furious as she's left hungry while Joe takes a bite for himself.

Four years on and Olivia is back with a main role on the show as she looks for love in the villa.
