Former Love Island contestant Olivia Hawkins has made a surprising revelation, blaming the hit reality show for her current single status at 30. The actress and stuntwoman, who also appeared in The Hunger Games, shared her candid thoughts on how the show altered her dating life.
From Reality TV to Real-Life Struggles
Olivia, who starred in the 2023 series of Love Island, admitted that the show's fast-paced, high-pressure environment made it difficult to form genuine connections. "It's not as glamorous as it seems," she confessed. "After the villa, real dating feels almost impossible."
The Hunger Games vs. Love Island
Interestingly, Olivia compared her time on Love Island to her experience working on The Hunger Games, where she performed as a stunt double. "Both are intense in their own ways," she said. "But at least in Hunger Games, the battles were scripted."
Life After the Villa
Now 30 and single, Olivia revealed that she's taking a step back from dating to focus on herself. "I don’t regret going on the show," she added, "but I wish I’d known how much it would change my perspective on relationships."
Her story serves as a reminder that reality TV fame often comes with unexpected consequences—especially when it comes to matters of the heart.
