The star previously faced backlash when she made her debut on the flagship ITV daytime magazine programme. Olivia Attwood's Career History From Monster grid girl and Love Island star to daytime telly panellist and respected documentary maker, Olivia Attwood has made a huge career pivot in recent years... Olivia first started as a Monster grid girl at motorsport events in 2012 when she was 19-years-old, and did it right up until she went into Love Island in 2017. After placing third in the reality show with then-boyfriend Chris Hughes, she starred in their own spin-off series, Chris & Olivia: Crackin' On, in 2018. Later that year, she appeared on Celebs Go Dating and then joined the cast of The Only Way Is Essex in 2019, where she had a number of fiery on-screen rows. In 2020, the reality TV veteran began starring in her own reality series on ITVBe titled Olivia Meets Her Match, which followed her wedding preparations with footballer Bradley Dack. In 2021, the tide started to turn. Olivia made appearances on household shows Lorraine, Tipping Point: Lucky Stars and Loose Women. Then, in 2022, ITV commissioned her for her first ever documentary series. She presented Olivia Attwood: Getting Filthy Rich, which explored women selling sexual content online. In June 2023, ITV commissioned Olivia Marries Her Match and made her a regular guest panellist on Loose Women. Her most recent docu-series, Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection, aired in January this year where she sensitively explored the cosmetic industry. Her reality background didn't go down well with some of the more traditionalist viewers, who vowed to switch off. Olivia clapped back at the trolls who shared their dismay with her appointment in the role, as she insisted "there's much more to me." Her colleague Josie Gibson, 40, who is a regular presenter on This Morning, later defended Olivia, saying she's 'brilliant' in the role. She told The Sun: "Oh my God she's brilliant. It's brilliant she gets to do this and I think she's really good. Yeah, really good. Those who know me understand the hard work I've put in to get where I am today. Olivia Attwood "Honestly, you get some backlash like that in this industry and I really don't know why people do it." The former Big Brother star added: "I'll never understand why people do it, you know. To me, I've always loved to see people do well and I genuinely love it. "I think Olivia is brilliant in the role." 10 Olivia Attwood was also the face for an exclusive VIP event for Boots Opticians Credit: 10 Olivia danced with her co-host Dermot O'Leary in a video captured by her entourage Credit: 10 She gave her 2.4million fans a sneak peak her working life Credit: 10 She's also been busy getting new episodes together for her reality show, Bad Boyfriends Credit: 10 The personality delighted meeting fans on the set of Ebay Live's Love Island event Credit: 10 Olivia still managed to get some personal time in with her husband Credit:

Antiques Roadshow expert gets a nasty shock after realising he's ALLERGIC to guest's precious item - before gasping 'I need to keep it at arm's length!'

An Antiques Roadshow expert got a nasty shock after discovering he was allergic to one guest's rare item, leaving him exclaiming, 'I'm going to have to keep this at arm's length!' During a vintage episode filmed at Liverpool's Sefton Park Palm House, hopefuls queued up to have their prized possessions examined by show regulars including Marc Allum, Ronnie Archer Morgan and Wayne Colquhoun. The installment featured a medal awarded to one of the first men to land on D-Day, a stately stool used at Queen Elizabeth II's coronation and ticket stubs from the iconic 1966 World Cup final. But expert Matthew Haley was stunned when a guest unveiled one of the earliest vials of penicillin ever produced, dating back to Christmas Eve in 1945. The penicillin, made at a factory in Speke, Liverpool, was thought to be one of the very first batches of the antibiotic. As Matthew noticed the label, he backed off and said: 'I'm going to have to keep this at arm's length as I am actually allergic to penicillin. 'So, I'll keep that safely away from me. But it's not just any bottle of penicillin, is it?' The guest then explained how the item came to be in his possession, revealing he had prevented it from going into a skip at the instruction of his manager. The guest rescued it when he himself worked for the factory in which it was created. 'I worked at that factory. I was in the human resources department, and the department had a small archive of articles from back when the factory first started,' he remembered. 'A new manager came along into the HR department and said "We're not running a museum, we're running a pharmaceutical business. Arrange for a skip and have them disposed of." 'And I said to him, "Can I keep some of those items for my own because I really don't think they should go in a skip."' The guest managed to rescue the vial along with an old visitors' book, which even recorded a visit from Alexander Fleming, the scientist who discovered penicillin. The guest had no idea just how much the find was worth, admitting he thought it might fetch only around £200. But he was taken aback when Matthew delivered a far higher valuation. 'We've got your story. You were there, you rescued it. But for me it just lacks that little letter or that little certificate from the time that would really have said "This was the very first." 'I think it's an absolutely fantastic story. Because of the interest in healthcare, I do think if you put this into auction, I would expect it to make probably between £2,000 and £4,000,' he told him. 'Wow, I thought it'd be worth about £200,' the guest replied. 'It's fantastic,' said Matthew. 'I'm keeping it at arm's length, but I love it.'

Harry Styles soaks up the sights with stunning Belgian designer in Italy after THAT steamy snog with Ella Kenny at Glastonbury Festival

Harry Styles soaked up the sights in Italy with Belgian-Congolese designer Kim Mupangilai last week after that steamy snog with Ella Kenny at Glastonbury. The singer, 31, showed off his favourite spots in Vatican City and Rome to the New York-based designer, who has appeared on the cover of high-end interior mags. Harry was spotted wandering about St Peter's Basilica and through the back streets of Rome while carrying a bottle of wine with Kim. In pictures obtained by The Sun, the former One Direction star cut a smart figure layering a blue shirt over a white T-shirt and black heels. The Watermelon Sugar hitmaker kept low-key wearing a pair of sunglasses while Kim stunned in a trendy black dress and sandals. A source told the publication: 'Harry loves nothing more than showing people his favourite spots in Italy. 'He also loves art and Kim has been a great source of inspiration.' Kim, who grew up in Antwerp, Belgium, has shared pictures on her Instagram of The Loggia Of Cupid And Psyche — a mural depicting a love affair — at the Villa Farnesina in Rome. She also posted snaps of red peppers drying on a rooftop in Ravello on Italy's Amalfi Coast. Daily Mail have contacted Harry's representatives for comment. It comes as Harry is rumoured to have fallen in love with the small Italian village of Civita di Bagnoregio where he spent the pandemic learning Italian and sign language. During his final Love On Tour show in Reggio Emilia, Italy, in 2023, Harry thanked 120,000 fans in Italian. Speaking in their language, he said: 'The last two years of my life have been a wonderful gift and it is truly very special to end my tour here, in a country that has a special place in my heart.' It comes after Harry was spotted snogging a mystery woman at Glastonbury, who has since been named as Ella Kenny. The singer partied into the early hours with pals at Worthy Farm, where he was seen getting very close to the 28-year-old. Ella is a producer who has worked at a studio in London for around three years, producing 'crossplatform content' for businesses such as record companies and fashion brands. She has worked alongside Nia Archives, as well as produced music videos for artists such as Rachel Chinouriri, and Slow Thai, as well as Anne-Marie and Aitch's huge hit PSYCHO. Reportedly, the As It Was star was in the VIP section with a group of pals when Ella arrived and kissed him on the cheek multiple times, before he led her to the dance floor where they shared their very public smooch. Speaking about the kiss to The Sun, a source said: 'Harry and Ella had fun together at Glastonbury and shared a kiss on the dancefloor. 'They had a good time in the moment but it doesn't mean it will evolve into anything. They just got on and had a snog. 'But she seems like a normal, down-to-earth girl which is different from some of the big stars he's dated before.' A representative for Harry has been contacted by MailOnline for comment. Harry's last public snog was with supermodel Emily Ratajkowski when they were spotted snogging in Tokyo in 2023. The pair were seen dancing with each other in the Japanese capital as they stood alongside a silver people carrier while sheltering from the rain under an umbrella. They shared a number of kisses on the street outside, appearing not to care who saw them while in full view of onlookers. As well as Taylor and Emily, Harry has been previously linked with a string of A-list women, from Taylor Swift to models Kendall Jenner and Camille Rowe, and actress Olivia Wilde. Harry - who has an estimated net worth of $140million - has kept a low profile throughout 2025 as he enjoys time out of the spotlight since wrapping his Love On tour in 2023.
