Olivia Hawkins has admitted she is a 'hypocrite' during her appearance on Love Island's spin-off show Aftersun on Sunday night (March 5) - but fans are less pleased. The ring girl and actress, 27, who was amongst the original line-up of the 2023 series in South Africa, left the villa last week after a shock double dumping.
Last Wednesday's episode (March 1) saw the islanders enjoying a day out at the beach club when they were surprised by host Maya Jama. The 28-year-old presenter announced that the public had been voting for the 'most compatible' couple, and the pair with the fewest votes would be dumped from the island.
It was then revealed that Olivia and Maxwell Samuda, who had coupled up after Casa Amor, would be sent packing, but a dramatic twist saw them then be in charge of deciding which other couple would be following them out the door.

The couple had to choose between Claudia and Keanan, Rosie and Casey and Tanya and Shaq, and it was Claudia and Keanan who were booted out by Olivia and Maxwell.
The four dumped islanders appeared on Love Island's Aftersun on Sunday to chat to Maya Jama, and it was Olivia's interview which caused a bit of a stir.
The 27-year-old was known to be involved in a fair share of drama during her appearance on the ITV show, most notably for her reaction when she came back from Casa Amor.
Before heading into the other villa Olivia was coupled up with Kai Fagan, but both Olivia and Kai had their heads turned by the bombshell arrivals.
Teacher Kai, 24, chose to recouple with social worker Sanam Harrinanan before finding out what Olivia had chosen to do. Although Olivia had also chosen to recouple with new boy Maxwell, she was furious at his decision and demanded an apology from him.
But now after watching the clip back, Olivia has admitted she was in fact a 'hypocrite' having done the same thing.
Speaking to Maya Jama in her first interview since leaving the villa, Olivia said: "Let me just say I’ve watched that clip back and I put my hands up, I’m such a hypocrite. Honestly I do, that was hypocritical of me.
“In the moment you know it’s so intense, emotions are high, there were real feelings there, so when I walked through those doors I was so nervous to come back with you [Maxwell]. I’m just happy that me and Kai have sorted it all out.”
Olivia then addressed the confusion from Movie Night after her clip entitled 'Liv Actually' aired. The footage showed Olivia talking about her female fellow islanders behind their backs, despite claiming to be a 'girl's girl'.
It was expected that there would be drama between the girls after this clip aired, but Olivia explained why there wasn't a fallout.
“I feel like I stayed true to myself all the way through. For example on Movie Night, none of the girls reacted because I told them previously that day that I thought that they forgave the boys way too quickly. I wouldn't do anything differently, said Olivia.
But fans aren't impressed with her admission, with many claiming that it is a 'little too late'.
Taking to Twitter, @russettsugg tweeted: "Olivia it’s a little too late for the damage control."
@iamarwa__ said: "Olivia doing as much damage control as she can hun it’s too late we’ve been seeing the real you for over a month now there’s no coming back from that."
@vvictoriaaaa65 wrote: "Too late for redemption now olivia," as @jack_schiavi said: "Olivia being all nice and admitting she’s a hypocrite to look all innocent, i’m not falling for it."
@margerinis added: "So Olivia now that you admit to being a hypocrite are you going to apologise to Kai? After all apologies are important to you."
