Ding ding! The gloves are off, and there could be fisticuffs in the Love Island villa over Michelle Keegan ’s body double, who is looking for her own Mr Wright...
Boxing ring girl Olivia Hawkins , 27, from Brighton brands herself a “knockout”, and will surely score high with the boys in Cape Town.
Olivia is a pal of TOWIE’s Sam Faiers, and stood in for former Corrie star Michelle – who is married to Sam’s ex- Mark Wright – while shooting an ad for the actress’ Very campaign in 2017.
The glamorous model holds up round cards at boxing matches, where she proves a hit with audiences, and described herself at one bout as a “knockout”.
A source said: “Olivia is making sure her suitcase is filled with outfits that will really pack a punch.”
Olivia has already had several brushes with fame, starring in music videos for Craig David and DJ Tom Zanetti and has danced at Wembley with Charli XCX.
A credited actress too, Olivia played a young Elizabeth Taylor in ITV ’s Autopsy of the late star in 2017.
She also starred in Playboy Hugh Hefner’s Autopsy programme on the channel the following year - though for the sake of clarity, she did not play Hugh.
Olivia will enter the villa with roughly 11 other young singletons looking for love in the second Winter Love Island, kicking off in South Africa next week.
And it has a decent track record - the last winners, Paige Turley and Finn Tapp, are still going strong three years after meeting on the show.
See who meets Olivia’s match at 9pm on ITV2 next Monday. [16th]
