Olivia, 34, revealed her huge new telly role in June before exclusively telling The Sun she has "put the work in" for the plum broadcasting job.
And Love Island Aftersun star Amy Hart, who is also one of the faces of the Love Island podcast, has shared her desire to land a This Morning gig too.
Amy attended acBluey Kind of Day Out at John Lewis, and told The Sun: 'It's my absolute dream job. I'd love to do any presenting on This Morning.
'I just love presenting and I feel like through the podcast I've really grown as a presenter. So I'd love to carry on doing anything like that.'
Amy continued: 'Olivia is amazing, and she's done so well. I'd like to make documentaries like she does too. There's a couple that I'd really love to make.
'We're just putting together the ideas for them and that kind of thing at the moment.'
Olivia is one of a number of stars filling in for regular hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard over the summer break.
But the Olivia Meets Her Match star was forced to clap back at trolls who criticised her appointment and insisted "there's much more to me."
Though she's not the first reality star to host the show, with fellow summer star and X Factor icon Rylan Clark having already proven a dab hand on the set, Olivia's villa background hasn't gone down well with some traditionalists who have gone so far as to say they'll "definitely stop watching'.
But Olivia, 34, is confident in her abilities and feels she's earned her stripes to become ITV's new golden girl.

She exclusively told The Sun: "Those who know me understand the hard work I've put in to get where I am today.
"I'm forever grateful to Love Island for being the springboard to my career, but I'm excited to show there's so much more to me beyond the villa."
She continued: "It's been a lot of hard work, but I've always stayed focused on my goals and believed in myself and I'm very thankful for ITV in believing me."
Amy attended the Bluey family event on Tuesday, alongside a string of other famous faces.
John Lewis' flagship store on London's Oxford Street hosted the event, bringing to life the iconic kids' show Bluey to life, through a range of playful experiences inspired by this year's brand theme for Bluey, 'Let's Play Chef'.

Love Island couple ordered to leave the villa just hours before ITV final
One Love Island couple are being voted out of the villa by their former islanders. As we gear up for the semi-final of one of the most explosive Love Island seasons yet, two more islanders are set to be ruthlessly dumped from the villa, as they are voted out by their former friends and rivals, who aren't holding back. One couple won't make it to the final of the show, as the latest teaser reveals a tense moment where all the previously dumped Islanders return to the villa for one last, game changing decision. The official Love Island account took to Instagram to share the short clip from Sunday evening's episode, alongside the caption: "First look! Ex-Islanders return for a savage dumping, and they're not holding back." Host Maya Jama appears to have returned to the villa one last time before she gets ready for the final, and is seen entering the villa to announce the latest twist. After a dramatic slow-motion walk into the villa, Maya shouts: "Hello, hello, hello. Are you alright my loves? How was the dates? Are you all loved up? Well I have some very important news. Can you come and join me on the lawn?" The remaining couples in the villa are Yas and Jamie, Cach and Toni, Harry and Shakira, Ty and Angel, and Meg and Dejon, the Mirror reports. Maya delivers the news: "Well today, one more couple will be dumped from the Love Island villa and that decision will be made by some very familiar faces." Among the returning islanders is Sophie Lee, who joined at the start of the series and became the first to be dumped on day two. Viewers will also see the return of Tommy who was once considered a frontrunner to win, before being dumped by Shakira. The teaser sent fans into a frenzy as they speculated which couple the dumped islanders would be giving the boot. One viewer wrote: "Sorry, but after Thursday and Friday, it's gotta be Meg and Dejon. Their time is up", while another simply stated: "Harry & Shakira.. your time is up!" A third shared their thoughts and penned: "For all the years of watching Love Island, it's my first time feeling this nervous about the finals. I swear my anxiety level is through the roof." A forth fan stated: "Do the right thing and only let Yas, Jamie, or Cach near that money for goodness sake," while another expressed: "I swear if Shakira, Toni, or Yaz go home, I might have to have some therapy sessions" Only time will tell who the dumped Islanders will vote for and which couple will say their goodbyes just a day before the final. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX, and the final will air tomorrow (August 4) at 9pm.

Amy insisted that she "does eat" and denied taking weight loss injections, adding: "To be honest, I do feel better when I'm a bit heavier than I am at the moment. 'There's so much going on at the minute – it's the result of pure stress." Among those stresses appears to be issues around her planned wedding to Billy Delbosq, which has now been cancelled. who first postponed her nuptials following her engagement in 2023, has again pushed back plans due to "last minute changes", it is claimed. Sources told Closer Magazine: "Amy has had to cancel her wedding and she's absolutely gutted.

Maura Higgins displays her toned physique in a summer minidress as she gives followers a glimpse of her lavish lifestyle
displays her toned physique in a summer minidress as she shared a glimpse of her lavish lifestyle in an Instagram post on Sunday. The former Love Island star, 34, stunned as she enjoyed a picnic in the sun while wearing an ivory and pink milkmaids dress. In a second image she looked happier than ever after pulling on a pair of thigh-skimming shorts and fedora hat for a bike ride. In another snap, Maura enjoyed a mint ice cream which posed with while wearing a ruffled dress in a similar colour. She also shared a glimpse of herself in more casual attire, including a bright pink T-shirt dress branded with the Love Island logo. The brunette later posed for a fun snap with her pals as they made funny faces for a photo collage. Alongside the snaps, she wrote: 'Previously on……' The post comes after Maura moved into her £1.25million five-bedroom 'dream house' in Essex. The TV personality, who has amassed an estimated £3.2million fortune from her TV appearances, took to Instagram earlier this month to share the news that she had finally moved in. Sharing the news she posted a picture of stunning black French doors looking on to a garden, with a huge bouquet of glowers in a vase, Ferrari sparkling wine and a Diptyque candle. 'After the busiest few months.... she's finally in,' the former Love Island star captioned the snap. Sharing another snap of the kitchen featuring her pal, celebrity hairdresser Carl Bembridge, she wrote: 'No chairs yet but he always finds something to sit on.' As a young woman in rural Ireland, Maura's future was set - stay in the town, marry her teenage boyfriend and open up a hair salon. 'But that's not what I wanted. That was not my dream. That was my father's and boyfriend's dream. I wanted to do more,' Maura previously defiantly declared. Maura also shared a glimpse of her in more casual wear as she wore a bright pink T-shirt dress which was branded with the Love Island logo The brunette beauty also posed for a fun snap with her pals as they made funny faces for a photo collage And leave Ireland she did, going on to star in two ITV reality shows, Love Island and most recently I'm A Celebrity, as well as taking on presenting duties. In her next big move, the girl from remote County Longford purchased her huge house in Essex. Her riches have allowed the presenter to upgrade from her previous one-bedroom property in Essex to one with an en-suite master bedroom with four further rooms. Overjoyed, Maura shared to her Instagram followers a picture of her new kitchen with a chandelier and grey floors, which she bought in October, with the caption 'Bought my dream house'. An expansive kitchen, with an island, leads out past the dining area, out bi-folding doors to a large walled garden with a neat lawn. Maura's previous home was raided by three-masked men and so the Love Island star has ensured her new home was in a gated development which provides privacy and security.
