Love Island’s Olivia Attwood reveals talks with US networks after documentary success

SHE’S conquered the small screen in the UK with hit documentaries, reality shows and even a coveted place on the Loose Women panel.

And now Olivia Attwood, 32, could be set to take America by storm after holding talks with TV bosses stateside.

The former Love Island star, who spent part of her childhood in Canada and still holds a Canadian passport, has revealed she’s been offered opportunities on the other side of the Atlantic.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun on behalf of , Olivia says: “I've had conversations with people who have formats ready to go in the US.

“Again, it's a timing thing. I've had to literally be like, ‘okay, I can't come to the US and do this job tomorrow, but please let you get me, because at some point I would love to explore that’.

“Having said that, I'm not rushing to do that because I'm very happy with the way things are going here. I feel very grateful.”

Olivia’s diary gets booked up fast and she plots her television plans months and months in advance.

Last year, she was name-checked by ITV’s Head of Reality TV Paul Mortimer as the future of the channel at The Edinburgh TV Festival.

She’s since made her Loose Women debut and hosted a very successful documentary series called The Price of Perfection, shining a light on Gen Z’s obsession with procedures and the potential pitfalls.

“I couldn't ask for more,” she says. “I feel like I'm happy to do what I'm doing, keep proving myself, you know, hopefully get more of that live broadcasting experience under my belt, and then I think things, when they're meant to happen, they'll happen, if that makes sense. 

“I love the UK, and I love my audience here, you know, I'm very loyal to them, so yeah, it's been hard to kind of not be tempted to run across and play but I'm staying focused on what I've got in front of me, for the time being.”

If her TV schedule wasn’t hectic enough, Liv is also exploring her love of fashion thanks to a collaboration with AliExpress and its new It Girls campaign.

The retail marketplace has officially launched live-stream shopping in the UK in a bid to bring shoppers curated selections from fashion trendsetters like Olivia.

Other fashion-savvy stars involved include Love Island’s Kady McDermott, 28, and influencers Summer Botwe, 24, Emma Vacchio, Nina and Diana, , 24, and more.  

“I feel like one of the draws was obviously coming together to do the live[stream],” says Liv. “I love the idea of doing a live shopping event, because I haven't actually done that before."

The fashionista continued: "But  I've always wanted to, and I thought it would be something that would resonate a lot with my audience."

“And I love the fact that anyone can head to the app and make a live[stream] themselves and have this entrepreneurial little side hustle, if they want."

“Affordable, buildable pieces work really well with my audience, and I know that when I looked at the collection and met with AliExpress, and I looked at the pieces, I knew that my followers would be excited by these clothes.”

Since her rise to fame in 2017, Liv’s style selections have changed a lot and are no longer as outlandish or daring. However, that’s not to say they’re no less eye-catching.

She says: “I can't believe I'm saying this, because my style has changed a lot in the last few years, I would say that it's leaning into classic.

“I don't follow trends so much anymore. I'm trying to sort of wear things that are timeless, they're classic, they're buildable. I like block colours, I like oversized blazers, I like having my legs out, you know, but I kind of do legs or boobs.
