Olivia, 27, has lifted the lid on one of the rules her and fellow cast members ignored whilst on the South African version of the show.

The stunning former ring girl was labelled the series "villain" earlier this year, facing public backlash stemming from hundreds of complaints to telly watchdog Ofcom.

But since then, the brunette beauty has candidly opened up about her experience in the infamous villa and even revealed that she broke a huge ITV2 rule.

She has since stated that her rebellious antics occurred whilst in the notorious Casa Amor villa.

More on Olivia Hawkins

Setting the scene whilst chatting to , she explained: "The Islanders would change their own bedsheets on their time off.

"It was mainly when we were in Casa Amor. We'd have the afternoons off whilst the film crew got footage in the main villa, before they had a break and they came to film us.

"There is only one camera crew so they would be going between the two villas, so when they weren't there, we would change the sheets.

"We were a bit naughty when the camera crew wasn't around as we would try to shout over to the other Islanders in the main villa, but we got away with it."

The star has also acknowledged the hate she received whilst on the show and that she is now protective of any islanders from this series who may experience the same.

In an exclusive chat with The Sun, Olivia said: "I wouldn't wish that villain label on anyone. Having that label for me, it was really not nice. I don't want anyone to go through that. I am here for anyone who might get that label if they want to talk."

Fellow cast mate Tanya Manhenga has also exposed the tight villa rules this week, including "always" having to be "in bikinis".
