We previously revealed that Olivia and Louis were spotted snogging poolside during the sunkissed away trip.
And now Olivia has revealed exactly what happened during their time away together.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Olivia said: "Me and Louis definitely take the viewers on a journey for sure and it's a lot of ups and downs."
Olivia admitted filming the first week in Ibiza helped speed up her connection with Louis.

She said: "Because we all spent that week together, it was very much similar to Love Island, we're you're spending so much time together that everything is fast forwarded a lot.
"Even with my friendship with Kerry and Jon, we got to know each and we're so close."
Co-star Kerry Katona added: "There was only five of us there at that point, it was so intense, just a week, like any reality show you do, felt like a year - that's it we're connected then."
Olivia teased: "But me and Louis, we may have had a moment."

In the past, hook-ups between co-stars were frowned upon, but usually happen anyway.
Olivia admitted: "I'm known to be quite cheeky - I did tell the agents I would be hard work."
EXCL Emotional Kerry Katona addresses age-gap relationship with new man - and 'real reason' she signed up for Celebs Go Dating
Kerry insisted: "You're not hard work, this is your problem, you're really not and you don't understand your worth."
Olivia continued: "I think I might have been one of the hardest for them to crack, I think I was one of the last to actually go in on my session and I remember Kerry saying 'get ready, you'll need tissues', and I think I was probably emotional in the first five minutes.

But for me that's such a release because I've never spoken about some of the things I've spoken about, even my friends and family, for people watching they'll really get to know me and that vulnerable side.
While Louis also told us that he enjoyed a very flirty connection with Olivia from the get go.
He said: "Olivia is a beautiful lovely girl and we had a good time.
"I think from the get go we sort of just clicked, we just got on and it was always flirty."

The 26-year-old has never made a secret of her surgical journey, but insisted her boobs weren't "botched" like trolls said BACK OFF Reality star accused of having a 'botched boob job' hits back at trolls & says she won't stop showing off 'perfect t**s' A REALITY star accused of having a "botched boob job" has hit back at cruel trolls. Chloe Veitch, 26, has taken part in shows such as Too Hot to Handle, The Circle, Perfect Match and Celebrity Ghost Trip. 4 Reality star Chloe Veitch has hit back at trolls accusing her of having a "botched boob job" Credit: instagram/chloeveitchofficial 4 She admitted she decided to respond after realising that the majority of the comments had come from women Credit: Instagram 4 Chloe was an A-cup before she underwent a boob job to take her to a C-cup Credit: Getty 4 She also said that the muscles in the chest can alter the appearance of how boobs look Credit: Refer to Caption Thanks to her small screen appearances, she's also got an impressive 1.8 followers on Instagram, who she regularly delights with updates about her busy life. In a recent post, she shared a snap of herself in a white corset dress, as she explained "what being a woman means to me". However, Chloe was quickly inundated with comments from trolls pointing out that her breasts looked like different sizes in the dress - with some even saying she'd been the victim of a "botched boob job". And despite the fact that Chloe "never addresses anything like this" on her social media pages, she felt she had no choice when she realised that the majority of the comments were from women. "I've had so many messages saying I have a botched boob job," she wrote on her Instagram Stories, over a collage of snaps from her in the dress. "I agree this photo they look different but I'm not going to refrain from posting it just because they look a little odd in the push up dress I'm wearing hahaha." "It's crazy how many people don't realise that we have muscles in our chests," she added. "When we lift our arms or tense or wear corset clothing, our boobs are never going to look the same/perfect." "Please do better - please be kind," Chloe urged her followers, before concluding: "None the less, I think my t**s are perfect!" Chloe underwent a boob job to take her from an A to a C cup prior to her appearance on Netflix programme Too Hot to Handle. 'I sunbathe topless for attention – I didn't pay £15,000 for these breasts to keep them hidden' Speaking to The Sun about her decision to undergo a breast augmentation, Chloe said: "I only did it for my own confidence. "I was so small and I didn't want to get massive, obvious fake boobs." However, Chloe also said that she doesn't want to ruin her "natural beauty" with "loads of plastic surgery". "And I would say that to every girl out there – try to stay unique," she continued. "If you're beautiful on the inside, it will show!" In a podcast interview, Chloe also admitted that she constantly used to compare herself to other girls on Instagram.

For anyone who wants to experience AquaVenture, there will be a 10-minute briefing before a 50-minute session. Visitors can slip and slide about, or even catapult themselves off of a giant air bag. Pooches don't have to be left out either, as they are allowed in the park - just not on the beach and in the water. Advertisement Though, the park does schedule regular doggy swim events. One recent visitor said: "It was great to see so many children enjoying being in the water in a safe environment where parents can relax and keep an eye on them. 6 Also at the park, is a giant inflatable course Credit: Facebook/Cotswold country Park and Beach 6 It includes slides and a giant air bag Credit: Facebook/Cotswold country Park and Beach Advertisement "We managed a paddle and the water was pleasantly warm.
