Love Island legend Olivia Attwood says some Bad Boyfriends cast members considered quitting just hours into filming after she dropped a huge bombshell.
A group of unspecting bad boyfriends were flown to a Greek island under the premise of filming a series about manhood and bromance in a hedonistic holiday mecca, before getting the shock of their lives when the TV beauty appeared to announce their wild partying days are on hold and to reveal the true purpose of the show.
Fans will see Loose Women panelist and podcast host Olivia whip the eight men into better boyfriend shape and she’s not on her own as their long-suffering girlfriends arrive and cause mayhem. Across 11 episodes, the boys will compete in a series of challenges, designed to rectify their ways and battle it out to become the most improved boyfriend.
Speaking to press ahead of the launch of Bad Boyfriends, Olivia said: “We had the big reveal at the beginning of the series where the boys were there under false pretences so there was a lot of concern around that. You can’t and wouldn’t want to make anyone do anything they don’t want to do so obviously everyone had to reconsent for the new show and were given the choice to leave.

“So after the fallout of unveiling it, we were relieved everyone wanted to stay. Some took a longer than others but they all wanted to work on their relationships and became very invested in the process. Seeing them go through the ups and downs of the challenges and the things we kind of tested them with was fascinating and was really wholesome. I didn’t know these naughty boys could pull on my hearts strings so much.”

Olivia has been married to footballer Bradley Dack since last year and their relationship hasn’t always been easy but they’ve managed to overcome their bumpy start and are stronger than ever.
She said: “When Brad and I were together the first time it wasn’t as serious as we obviously went on to be in but I think him, and other boyfriends I’ve had, has given me a lot of life experience.
“He [Brad] said he saw himself in so many of the lads and he was like ‘remember when our relationship looked like that’ and I was like ‘yeah I do and it was f***ing crap’.”
Olivia Attwood’s Bad Boyfriends starts on Sunday, September 1 on ITV2 and ITVX2 at 9pm
