Love Island’s Olivia Attwood says ‘I lived with that for 2 years’ as she hits out at ex Chris Hughes after NTAs brawl
OLIVIA Attwood has admitted it was "not really a surprise" to see her ex Chris Hughes fighting with a photographer at the NTAs.
The 28-year-old former Love Island star said what happened was a "shame" for his girlfriend Jesy Nelson, but insisted she had "lived with that for two years."
Speaking to , she said: "I don't want to get into too much, but what happened with Chris is not really a surprise to me. I lived with that for two years.
"It’s a shame because she’s [Jesy Nelson] been through a lot, and it was her night. It's their business though. I’m very grateful for my life now, put it like that."
Soon after Chris' scrap with the paparazzi, Olivia made a dig at her former boyfriend by insisting the incident was "deja vu."
The pair argued at the same awards ceremony in 2018 after Chris got angry about the amount of time Olivia spent with him.
At the time, Olivia said: "Chris was upset that he didn't see much of me in the evening but I was chatting to new people and taking in the night.
"So when he saw me he started shouting, I was quite embarrassed as people got out their phones to film it!
"His management managed to stop him from shouting so it was blown out of proportion really. I don't think he is a good drinker!! I did remind him today that he does shout in public and I did say that he needs to not do that.
"He was like ‘I really don’t think I did’ and I was like ‘Ok you did’ and that was when the article came out so I was like, ‘believe me now?’."

Chris has since apologised to his girlfriend Jesy for the fight after her big win for Best Factual Programme.
The ex-Love Island star claims he got physical in self defense.
He wrote in a statement on Instagram: "After coming out of our hotel a particular paparazzi decided to repeatedly call me a name I wouldn't call my worst enemy, and physically try and start an altercation.
"As everyone can see I retaliated back badly to this which I totally regret. I'm human."
