We do love us some Olivia Hawkins here at heatworld. Let's be real, she was the sugar and spice that kept winter Love Island 2023 naughty and nice.
When the OG returned for All Stars in January 2025, she was equally as stylish - sadly, minus the gloves and high pony- and dare we say, seemed a little calmer...
After making a go of things with Love Island 2017's Marcel Somerville, the duo were dumped from the villa on day ten, but that doesn't mean we didn't love having the LI 'villain' back on our TV screens.
Short but sweet, just like our Liv.
Who is Olivia Hawkins?
Olivia is a Love Island 2023 winter contestant who also took part in All Stars 2025.
Despite gaining a legion of fans since first appearing on the show, she is still considered a 'Love Island villain,' amongst some of the fandom. We disagree, FYI. Queen behaviour only.
What happened to Olivia Hawkins on winter Love Island 2023?
Olivia was an Islander on series 9 of Love Island (based in South Africa). Olivia entered the villa on day 1 and was dumped from the island on day 45. During her weeks in the villa she coupled up with Will Young, Tom Clare, Haris Namani, Spencer Wilks, Kai Fagan and Maxwell Samuda, who she continued dating IRL for a hot sec, They eventually split in April 2023.
What happened when Olivia Hawkins was on All Stars?
Liv was originally coupled up with Luca Bish by the public no less. On paper, they seemed like the perfect couple; Liv is brunette and petite just like Luca claims is 'his type' a la Gemma Owen.
But they soon decided that they were better off as friends which led Liv to striking up a romance with Marcel Somerville.
However, it is never smooth sailing in the Love Island villa and after Luca and Liv shared some flirty glances, the Brighton babes started to wonder if they'd shut down their romance too early.
It was a short-lived 'what if...' moment, and Liv ended up sticking with Marcel. Then, on day ten, Marcel and Olivia were dumped from the villa.
Why did Olivia Hawkins and Maxwell Samuda split?
Unlucky in love, Liv appeared to have finally met her match in Casa Amor in early 2023, when she coupled up with Maxwell and it seemed like they were making things work IRL despite rumours about the relationship status.
Olivia seemingly set the record straight when she later appeared on the Not My Bagg Podcast and said, 'There’s been rumours that we split up, but no, we’re literally fine. We’re really good, cool, calm, collected. He’s a good guy and he treats me nice.'
They later confirmed their split on amicable terms, citing 'naturally drifting apart.'
Who is Olivia Hawkins feuding with?
We know for certain that Olivia and Zara Deniz didn't see eye to eye during their time in the winter Love Island villa. They famously came to blows over Tom Clare.
