ITV This Morning's Holly Willoughby comments on Love Island as she admits to being 'obsessed' with couple

Holly Willougby broke her impartiality on This Morning to discuss the programme on many people's lips right now - Love Island. The ITV2 dating show returned to our screens early last month and it has already been a wild ride as a fresh bunch of singletons attempt to find love over the summer.

But while it may be what a lot of people are talking about, it's not always a good thing as it was revealed today (Monday, July 5), a month into the eighth series, that more than 700 complaints have been officially logged so far with broadcasting watchdog Ofcom.

The drama, however, still keeps coming as the villa is currently divided following Casa Amor's return late last week. The boy and girls have been separated, with the likes of Paige, Gemma, Indiyah and Ekin-Su having been sent off to a second property where they were joined by six new male contestants.

Meanwhile, the boys have stayed at the main Mallorcan villa where they have been joined by six new girls who are keen to find a new beau and have already ruffled feathers.

And Holly, 41, appears to be attracted to the action as she took the opportunity to ask a former Islander about the current series. On Tuesday's This Morning, the presenter and her co-host Phillip Schofield were joined live in the ITV studio by Olivia Attwood, who made it to the final of Love Island's third series with Chris Hughes.

She appeared on the famous sofa to chat about her new show for ITV2, Getting Filthy Rich, which sees the reality star explore the online sex work world - including OnlyFans.

But before the end of the interview, Phillip, 60, asked her: "Are you watching Love Island?" to which Olivia replied: "I am, I'm not as committed as I normally am just due to work." Holly, however, showed her interest by interjecting: "It's a really good one this year!"

Olivia continued: "But Brad [Dack - her fiance] watches every night so I get the scoop from him, it's really good isn't it?" Holly then replied: "It's really good!" before admitting: "Slightly obsessed with Ekin-Su and Davide."

She then went on: "I mean, obviously now we're in Casa Amor. The girls have gone into Casa Amor this time, which is a bit of a shake-up. Would you like to have done it that way round or did you quite like staying in the villa?"

Olivia said in response: "I said this to Brad the other night, watching it, watching the boys pack those suitcases gave me stress. That's the only reason I wouldn't have wanted to go is just of the sheer job of packing all the girls' stuff, but it would be fun wouldn't it!"
