Love Island’s Olivia Attwood hits out at sexist women who attacked her for having ‘blonde hair and fake t**s’ and reveals Caroline Flack has helped her deal with trolls

OLIVIA Attwood has slammed “sexist women” who’ve attacked her for having “blonde hair and fake t**s”.

In her most candid interview yet, Olivia exclusively told The Sun Online she’d been targeted by online trolls and labelled a s**g – just for appearing on Love Island.

Olivia, 26, said: “I think on reality TV shows girls get a harder time than boys full stop. They are always they first ones to go, they come the lowest in polls.

“Some of the things that girls do, if a boy did it or said it, he would be cheeky or funny or a player, but if a girl does it then she’s a s**g and you’re conniving, so we’re still living in the medieval times for that.

“And I do think as well when you add blonde hair and fake tits it’s more to rile people up.

“And the worst it’s girls that are riled over seeing what I chose to do in the villa and there are bits I’ve seen, there’s a lot of girls getting angry, just live and let live.”

Olivia has found a close friend in Caroline Flack however, and revealed the TV presenter has reached out to support her.

She explained: “I had a chat with Caroline at the wrap party.

“She’s such a cool girl and she’s the same as me, doing a lot of things on impulse and saying it as it is.

“Caroline is just a down to earth girl’s girl and takes everything with a pinch of salt. She lets all the comments from those sad people just roll of your back as she’s had a lot of it from over the years.”

Olivia, who came third on the show with her boyfriend Chris Hughes, also opened up about the effect being on the show had on her mental health.

While on the show, Olivia’s outbursts hit the headlines and she came under fire for making Chris cry.

But when The Sun Online asked her about it, Olivia was refreshingly honest about her feelings.

She said: “It was tough [on my mental health].

“I’m very impulsive, so I act on impulse and if I feel something I say it and I have no filter so that’s something that I realised in there.

“I think it’s good to be that way, if you bottle your emotions up, it’s unhealthy.

“The only thing I do bottle is if I feel sad or vulnerable, then I get angry.”
