Olivia Attwood was spotted beaming in the sunshine as she filmed mischievous pranks for the new ITV series Celebrity Sabotage. The reality star joined a cast including Joel Dommett, Judi Love, Sam Thompson, and GK Barry, with weekly guests like Jill Scott, Fay Ripley, Jo Brand, Guz Khan, and Harry Redknapp, all set to orchestrate chaos.
Deceptive Game Shows and Celebrity Saboteurs
In Celebrity Sabotage, unsuspecting contestants believe they are participating in legitimate ITV shows, such as cooking challenges, relationship tests, business tasks, or murder mystery games. However, these programs are entirely fabricated, designed to allow celebrities to sabotage the proceedings and win cash prizes. To enhance realism, the fake shows feature credible hosts like Clare Balding, Matt and Emma Willis, Monica Galetti, Jason Fox, Sara Davies, and Rylan Clark, all privy to the secret.
First Look at Episode Two
In a sneak peek at episode two, Olivia Attwood, dressed in black with a cap covering her face, hid behind a large pink flower pot, ready to cause havoc. She was accompanied by hosts Emma and Matt Willis, who fronted the fake game show Couple Goals, alongside co-stars Judi Love and Joel Dommett. Scenes included a contestant in a dressing gown being doused with water and Joel Dommett disguising himself behind a camera.
Personal Life and Engagement Comments
Amid the filming, Olivia Attwood appeared to have moved on from her bitter split with ex-husband Bradley Dack. The former Love Island contestant, who separated from the footballer in January after nearly three years of marriage, recently described their engagement as "vomit inducing" on her podcast, Olivia's House. She explained that while she enjoyed the proposal at the time, set on a Dubai beach, she now finds such clichéd settings unappealing.
Viewer Reactions and Criticism
The premiere episode of Celebrity Sabotage, hosted by Sara Davies in a format reminiscent of The Apprentice, received mixed reviews. Some viewers criticized the show as "abysmal and juvenile," with complaints on social media about its quality and target audience. However, others defended it as light-hearted, fun Saturday night entertainment. Daily Mail TV reviewer Christopher Stevens gave it a two-star rating, noting the celebrities' low recognition factor.
Behind the Scenes and Future Episodes
Before the show aired, Joel Dommett praised the format, calling it a career highlight and expressing hope that viewers would enjoy it as much as the cast did during filming. He recounted a frightening stunt involving a Great Dane, where he dressed as dog toys to retrieve a collar, nearly leading to a dangerous encounter. Celebrity Sabotage continues to air on ITV1 and ITVX, promising more chaotic pranks and celebrity antics in upcoming episodes.
