In the film the actress plays the role of Ben's (Thomas-Brodie Sangster) love interest and later takes the stage to perform a rendition of Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You.

But the former child star left fans shocked after she appeared for a rare TV interview on Australian breakfast show, The Morning Show.

With this year marking 15 years since Love Actually hit the big screens, the host's of Australian chat show, The Morning Show, invited Olivia along for a rare TV appearance to chat about what she has been up to since then.

Chatting to the hosts live from Los Angeles, Olivia admits that she can't believe how popular the film is so many years on.

She says: "I can't believe people still care, that they're talking about it. It's so awesome. 15 years is a long time.

"I remember how excited my mum was, she was a fan girl for Hugh Grant!

"I didn't know who anyone was, I was 9, but nowadays it's such a blessing that I was a part of this huge, superstar cast."

The hosts later quizzed the actress on how she feels getting compared to the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle.

";I have not been invited to tea with the queen yet, but maybe I could pass off [as Meghan]!" she jokes.

Since playing the role of Joanna in Love Actually, Olivia has gone on to voice the character of Vanessa Doofenshmirtz in children's cartoon Phineas and Ferb, Marceline The Adventure Queen in Adventure Time and the fourth Powerpuff Girl, Bliss, for Cartoon Network.

Although, when questioned if she would be returning to the big screen anytime soon Olivia remained coy.

"We'll see, actually this past weekend I just wrapped up a short film, we'll see what happened," she said.
