Young Olivia Attwood is already a reality TV veteran. The former Motorsport Grid Girl made her television debut in 2007, appearing on series 3 of the controversial ITV hit Love Island, in which contestants living in a Mallorcan villa—in isolation from the outside world and under constant video surveillance—must couple up to be in with a chance of winning £50,000. Attwood ultimately finished in third place alongside Chris Hughes, with whom she had been romantically involved for the majority of the series. The pair subsequently chose to continue their relationship after the show’s conclusion, leading in 2018 to the ITV2 spin-off Chris & Olivia: Crackin’ On, which documented the couple’s shared daily lives. However, the show was dramatically cut short when Attwood and Hughes decided to split with the series still in production.
Attwood went on to make guest appearances on shows including the long-running E4 series Celebs Go Dating, the ITV breakfast show Lorraine and the game show The Crystal Maze, hosted by first-rate comedian Richard Ayoade. Beginning in 2019, Attwood made a 16-episode cameo on the reality behemoth The Only Way Is Essex, while also rekindling a relationship with her on-again-off-again boyfriend Bradley Dack, with the Blackburn Rovers midfielder proposing to Attwood in November that year. October of 2020 saw the premiere of Olivia Meets Her Match, an ITV and Amazon Prime reality show chronicling Attwood in her relocation to Manchester and wedding preparations.
Attwood is represented by PR and talent management agency S-Creative, whose clients include Brooke Vincent, known across the land for her role as Sophie Webster on British soap staple Coronation Street, as well as fellow The Only Way Is Essex star Chloe Lewis. Attwood keeps up with her fans via Instagram, where she boasts a whopping 1.9 million followers.
