Olivia Attwood (TOWIE)

Olivia Attwood's time on TOWIE was eventful to say the least. She was accused of bullying Chloe Brockett, she threw olives at Courtney Green and she had some hilarious nights out with her fellow cast members. Absolute TV gold, no wonder she got her own show.

Maura Higgins (Dancing on Ice)

So much for the Strictly curse, the last few series of Dancing on Ice have been plagued by relationship rumours. Not only did Maura Higgins' appearance on the show potentially lead to her split with Curtis Pritchard, it may also have caused the downfall of her professional partner Alexander Demetriou's marriage. Despite all the drama, Maura did pretty well on the show finishing in sixth place on the 2020 series.
