"It is day one at the minute so I'm not missing much," she said. But in three or four days the dogs and my fiance probably," she said. "I mean four weeks and no sh*gging what can you do?"

Olivia, who had a fiery romance with Chris on Love Island, is wondering how her campmates might 'tolerate' her. "I am scared of me, in terms of how long the other campmates can tolerate me. I will get myself in trouble somehow, the usual," the star confessed.

After Love Island, Olivia has starred in The Only Way is Essex and hosted her own documentary titled Getting Filthy Rich about the sex industry. She also starred in her own reality series on ITVBe Olivia Meets Her Match which followed her life in Manchester with Bradley.
