Olivia Attwood has bagged a role as the host of a new, yet-to-be-named ITV show, speculated to be centred around dating.
In a tantalising Instagram post, the Loose Women panellist, 33, teased fans with behind-the-scenes snaps from Greece. Her caption read: “Guys …….. I have been keeping a secret. BTS from my brand new @itv reality show … you’re not ready (I don’t actually think I am).”
The series will reportedly follow couples grappling with relationship bumps due to the less-than-stellar behaviour of the men involved, with Olivia, who catapulted into the spotlight after her stint on Love Island’s third series in 2017, swooping in for a much-needed intervention.

Back in November 2023, talk was swirling about Olivia being chased with a six-figure pay cheque for her hosting gig.

A source said to MailOnline: “Olivia is over the moon, she could have never predicted after starring on Love Island as a contestant to one day be presenting her own dating series.”
The insider went on: “She is working with a full ensemble cast and filming has already started in Greece, she is loving every second of it so far.”

To cap it off, the source said: “It’s a dream come true for her, and she can’t wait for viewers to fall in love with the format and hopefully enjoy watching the show as much as she has shooting it.”
Last August, Olivia became part of Loose Women as the newest panellist, a move she thought “was a joke”. In an interview with OK! magazine, she shared: “It wasn’t something that was on the mood board. It all happened really organically.”

She continued, reminiscing about how she previously enjoyed appearing on the show: “I was a guest on the show a couple of times, and I always loved it when I was.”
The climax of the story came to be when her agent talked about it: “I joked to my agent saying, ‘Imagine me as a Loose Woman’, and she said she really could. Then one of the show’s bosses got in touch and we went out for lunch, she asked me how I would feel about trying it out, and I said, ‘Oh my God, are you serious? ‘ I almost thought it was a joke.”
