The winter edition of Love Island kicked off on Monday night - but fans were distracted by one contestant's outfit.
Among the new Islanders on the ITV dating show, set in South Africa, was 27-year-old Olivia Hawkins from Brighton. Olivia has worked as a body double for Hollywood star Emma Watson and former Corrie actress Michelle Keegan.
She also played a waitress in Bond movie No Time To Die and worked on a film with Jason Statham. During the show on Monday, there was drama at the poolside coupling when she made a beeline for Manchester science and PE teacher Kai Fagan, who plays semi-professional rugby for Burnage RFC.

As the 10 new contestants arrived in the Love Island villa, host Maya Jama confirmed the girls would get to pick who they wanted to couple up with for the start of the new series. Olivia had Kai 'stolen' from her by fellow Islander Tanyel Revan, and she ended up with sheep farmer Will Young. Asked how she felt about it by Maya Jama, Olivia said: "It is what it is."
However, viewers were distracted by Olivia's outfit of a pink bikini with undone denim shorts, reports the Manchester Evening News. A number of people commented about this on social media.

@DGenerationIsh tweeted: "Olivia looks like she just finished Christmas dinner with her shorts like that." @lorigoat said: "Button your shorts." @HannahOlomola asked: "The shorts?????"
@heatherrrrrrrx asked: "Why's she got a pair of unbuttoned shorts on?" And @miaelizabethh__ wrote: "Olivia seems to have forgotten how to button her shorts."
But @benxnash commented: "Olivia is an icon i’m obsessed THE JEAN SHORTS she’s an absolute GIRL BOSS." @plebontheweb said: "I already love Olivia's energy. The jean shorts the ditzy energy. Calling herself a cougar I live." And @MissSocaCandy cheered: "Yesssss love the fact that she entered wearing shorts."
Viewers believe Olivia is going to 'bring the drama' and think she reminds them of Maura Higgins from Love Island 2019. @Omolabake_G said: "The first episode is only half way through and the drama pot is already stirring? I’m seated. I know Olivia is going to be trouble."
@ifitisntnikki decided: "SHE WILL BRING THE DRAMA." @molly_baddeley tweeted: "Olivia is giving me @MauraHiggins vibes." And @rufusmds wrote: "Olivia this seasons Maura."
