Inside Olivia Hawkins' all-grey home and lavish lifestyle before Love Island fame

Olivia Hawkins has made a big impression on this year's winter version of Love Island in South Africa.

The ring girl from Brighton, 27, seems to be adjusting to life in the villa well as she gets to know new beau Haris Namani, who she chose in Friday's show.

Olivia is no stranger to the limelight having been on a dating show before where she sweet-talked Islander Jack Fowler.

The model was also reportedly 'growing close' to EastEnders star Max Bowden, who plays Ben Mitchell in the soap, before jetting off to South Africa.

The self-confessed "confident, bubbly person" shares a lot of her life on social media, including pics of her gorgeous all-grey gaff.

The stunning property features huge grey velvet sofas with matching scatter cushions.

In one pic, Olivia poses in her living room holding a bunch of pink balloons as she celebrates her birthday.

The TV star looks every inch the glamazon as she stuns in a white, strapless maxi dress.

In the background, a grey cabinet and clock can be seen, along with artwork on the wall, adding a pop of colour.

Also keeping with the grey theme is Olivia's bedroom. In another pic, she poses in red floral lingerie and low-slung jeans in front of a bed with a chalk-coloured duvet and charcoal-hued blind.

The walls of the bedroom are also grey, giving a distinctly sultry feel.

Elsewhere in the stunning home is an elegant-looking kitchen complete with an island, which is topped with sand-coloured marble.

There is also a huge outside space, which features grey outdoor seating for Olivia's guests to make themselves comfortable.

The model had an impressive 10.5K followers on Instagram even before entering the villa.

She posts a slew of sultry snaps from her far-flung holidays on the site, where she always stuns in a bikini, knowing her angles.

Olivia is a pal of TOWIE’s Sam Faiers, and also stood in for former Corrie star Michelle Keegan while shooting an ad for the actress’ Very campaign in 2017.

She's also worked as an actress, model and dancer, starring in music videos for Craig David and danced at Wembley Arena with Charli XCX.

Speaking about her claim to fame she said: "I did a film with Jason Statham and had a nice 10-minute convo about life".

The triple threat also played a waitress in one of the smash hit James Bond films opposite Daniel Craig.

And if that wasn't enough, Olivia also holds up round cards at boxing matches, where she gushed at one bout she was a “knockout”.

Ahead of her debut on Love Island, a source said: “Olivia is making sure her suitcase is filled with outfits that will really pack a punch.”

Despite her decadent lifestyle and stunning looks, Olivia says she's never been in a relationship and feels like she's now "really ready to settle down and hopefully find the love of my life".

Speaking about why she was single she went on to say: "Out of choice and maybe because in the past I’ve had commitment issues - but I’d say it’s mainly just the wrong boy, wrong time".

However, it looks like Olivia won't be single for long if her Love Island debut is anything to go by.

The telly star turned heads in her pink two-piece on Monday, before she was matched with Farmer Will Young.

However, her outfit choice later divided fans with some accusing the model of having a wardrobe malfunction.

Fans took to Twitter asking whether her undone denim shorts were a fashion statement or a gaffe.

But others were impressed with Olivia's get-up, with one tweeting: "Olivia is an icon I’m obsessed with THE JEAN SHORTS she’s an absolute GIRL BOSS,"

"Yesssss love the fact that she entered wearing shorts," another enthused.

While a third gushed: "I already love Olivia's energy. The jeans short, the ditzy energy - the best!"

•Love Island: Unseen Bits will air on ITV2 on Saturday at 9pm
