She’s ITV’s new star presenter, but Olivia Attwood and her family are already struggling with the demands of fame.
The 33-year-old TV personality, who is tipped to become the next Holly Willoughby, revealed her mother can’t even get to her local shop in Cheshire.
She told MailOnline on Three UK’s Mind, Body & Scroll: ‘My mum says, “I can’t even go to the village shop without being recognised now,” and I say, “You love it, don’t lie.”
“It’s a big change (fame), not just for me, and we’re all learning to cope with it at the same time and understand how it affects each of us differently.”
Since starring on Love Island in 2017, Olivia has become one of the show’s most successful contestants – hosting four documentaries for ITV and MailOnline and revealing she will be hosting her own dating show, Bad Boyfriends, this autumn, which is sure to catapult her fame even further.

The 33-year-old TV personality, who is tipped to become the next Holly Willoughby, revealed her mother can’t even get to her local shop in Cheshire (pictured with mum Jenny)
She, Kai, has largely remained out of the spotlight (all that is known is her passion for vintage and luxury cars), while her mother, Jenny, has appeared in several of her documentaries and on her podcast: So Wrong, It’s Right.
While Olivia’s parents enjoy a quiet life in their Cheshire mansion, her sister Georgia also keeps a relatively low profile as a part-time model and executive research consultant.
The Love Island star rarely posts pictures of her sister on social media “because of her job” but was given permission to do so at Georgia’s hen party in Saint Tropez last year.
Olivia said: ‘Being in the spotlight after Love Island is a big change not just for you but for everyone around you because it happens instantly.
“Not just for myself, but for my parents and my siblings as well. I try to be respectful of that and I really appreciate their support.”
Meanwhile, her husband Bradley Dack, whom she married last June, is no stranger to the spotlight as he is a professional footballer but is currently a free agent after being released by Sunderland.
Olivia also told MailOnline that Bradley, 30, is “ready” to have children while she wants to focus on her career: “For women, it’s a big change of pace and as a society we try to downplay it… His life won’t really change that much, let’s be honest.”
After much demand from her fans, Bradley finally made a guest appearance on her podcast, saying: ‘I got hundreds of messages saying how lovely it was that we, as a ‘celebrity’ couple – I hate that word – were talking like that.’

Since starring on Love Island in 2017, Olivia has become one of the show’s most successful contestants – presenting four documentaries for ITV and set to host her own dating show.
She continued: ‘Listeners were like, ‘Please never change, never let yourself be filtered. ‘ And I think there’s value in being honest and organic with people.
“I don’t want to ever lose that. I think the more famous you become, the scarier it is to share it because people can be so divisive and judgmental, and I want to make sure I never lose that.”
The Love Island 2017 star was speaking at Three UK’s Mind, Body and Scroll campaign on Wednesday, where she launched the world’s first social fitness hub to strengthen people’s sense of togetherness and belonging online.
Olivia said: “I found this to be a very natural thing for me to do. I want to help people learn how to communicate because when I speak I’m very uninhibited, very unfiltered and I would say that’s half the reason why everything has worked out the way it has for me.”
