Celebs Go Dating's Olivia Hawkins puts on a leggy display in a black mini dress as she arrives at the agency with Mark Labbett and their co-stars
She's no stranger to turning heads with her glamorous looks.
And Olivia Hawkins was at it again on Wednesday as she arrived at the Celebs Go Dating agency in London with her co-stars.
The Love Island star, 29, stunned in a black mini dress, which featured a white high-neck collar and A-line skirt.
She teamed the striking garment, that showed off her toned pins, with a pair of black strappy heels .
The reality star toted her belongings in a black mini Chanel Vanity bag and accessorised with a gold Cartier Love bracelet.
Olivia, who appeared in good spirits, styled her raven locks into soft curls and finished her look off with a radiant palette of makeup.
The Love Island star, 29, was joined by her co-stars including Mark Labbett, who cut a dapper figure for the occasion
Also spotted making their way to the agency was The Chase star Mark Labbett, who recently lost an incredible 10 stone.
The TV personality, 59, stepped out in a burgundy blazer over a blue shirt and smart navy trousers.
Too Hot To Handle icon Louis Russell cut a stylish figure as he arrived for filming in a white vest top and army print cargo pants.
While Celebs Go Dating agent Anna Williamson wowed in a burgundy maxi dress as she joined dapper relationship coach Paul C. Brunson.
Also seen arriving at the agency was sex expert Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, who put on a leggy display in a red suit dress which she paired with gold heels.
The agency visit comes after Olivia was spotted locking lips with co-star Louis during filming in Ibiza.
The Love Island beauty and Too Hot To Handle star were just days into shooting the new series of the Channel 4 dating show - and it seemed sparks were already flying.
The pair already had fans speculating about their relationship status after a flirty exchange on social media before heading out to the sun-soaked Spanish island.

In photos obtained by The Sun, Olivia and Louis could be seen sharing a very steamy kiss during a lively pool party as they packed on the PDA.
A show insider told the publication: 'It usually takes a few weeks for things to spice up but not with these two.
'Within 48 hours of arriving in Ibiza the sexual spark between them was obvious.
'They clearly couldn't resist each other,' they added.
MailOnline contacted reps for Olivia and Louis for comment.
Olivia and Louis are said to have 'grown close' during filming of the E4 show, reportedly breaking show rules by being 'all over each other' in Ibiza.
MailOnline understands the pair have become each other's love interests despite the premise of the series being for celebrities to date contestants who aren't famous.
According to a TV source, Olivia, who starred on Love Island in 2023 before returning for the All Stars series earlier this year, has fallen for Louis, known for his appearances on Netflix's Too Hot to Handle.
They aren't the first couple to break the show's rules following Lottie Moss and Adam Collard, who briefly dated after being cast on the same season in 2023.
Joey Essex also romanced The Hills' Stephanie Pratt after they met during filming and Made In Chelsea's Sophie Hermann hooked up with DJ Tom Zanetti.
A TV insider told MailOnline: 'Olivia and Russell are all over each other.
'It's only been days since filming for Celebs Go Dating started in Ibiza but they're already so close.
'They are very much each other's types and the attraction was instant, it's just not ideal for producers.
'The show has become famous for celebrities hooking up instead of forming long-lasting relationships with the contestants, which is the whole point.'
After starring on Too Hot to Handle, the Netflix show which challenges contestants who are afraid to commit in relationships to change their ways, on two separate occasions, Louis claims he's finally ready for a 'real partner.'
He said of joining the dating show, which is overseen by relationship expert Paul C. Brunson and Anna Williamson: 'I'm really excited to join the agency... it feels like a fresh start for me in dating. I'm ready to move away from hookups and focus on finding a real partner.'
Christine McGuinness was set to join the cast of the dating series, but she suddenly quit just days into filming in Ibiza after deciding it was 'too soon' after her divorce from ex-husband Paddy.
Joining Olivia on the show will be former S Club 7 singer Jon Lee, and Kerry Katona, who previously featured on the show in 2019.
Like Louis, Olivia has also struggled to find a partner despite two appearances on Love Island.
The influencer, who says she has never had a boyfriend, dated former Blazin' Squad star Marcel Somerville during her appearance on the All Stars series but their romances was short-lived.
She had a flirtatious connection with co-star Luca Bish but their attraction didn't lead to anything.
In an interview with MailOnline before her stint on Love Island: All Stars, Olivia said: 'Since the show, my dating has actually got worse.
'I haven't been on many dates, I have focused on myself, and I have always been an independent person, for a long time and throughout my 20s but it's definitely the right time, I'm ready to settle down now.
'I do find it hard to let people in, it's hard to trust people but I am starting to let my walls down a bit, and I feel ready to start letting people in.'

Award-winning bar & restaurant in UK seaside town to close after 10 years as owner teases ‘it's just the beginning'
Nawal Abdisamad Published: Invalid Date, A MUCH-LOVED bar and restaurant is set to close its doors after almost a decade in the heart of the seaside town. Ojo Rojo, located in the Bournemouth Triangle, has announced it will be leaving the area after ten years of serving up tacos, cocktails, and a lively Mexican atmosphere. 4 4 4 Founded in Bournemouth, Dorset, by Trevor Hill and JJ Adams, Ojo Rojo made a name for itself with its bold flavours, mezcal-based drinks, and vibrant setting. It even earned a spot in the UK's Top 50 Cocktail Bars for three years running. The news was first reported by the Bournemouth Echo, who spoke with co-founders Trevor Hill and JJ Adams, confirming the closure is a 'strategic move' shaped by 'national industry pressure and local challenges.' But they've made it clear – this isn't the end. 'After nearly ten years of tacos, mezcal, music and magic, it's time for a new chapter,' they said. 'Ojo Rojo is moving on. Not because we've lost what makes us special but because we're ready to take everything that we've learnt and shape it into something stronger.' Locals have responded with an outpouring of emotion, sharing memories and messages of support on social media. Rachel Grant posted: 'Our first date venue, where will we go for our anniversary now.' Kelly Marie Young added: 'Such a shame! We love this restaurant.' Others praised the team's effort. There's also been frustration about the wider town centre. Ojo Rojo is well known for its dedication to authentic Mexican culture. From its diverse cocktail menu featuring house-made syrups and infusions, to its proud selection of agave spirits, the bar has drawn fans from across the South Coast. 'Our ambition is to revolutionise the well-known taco, while educating people about the deep-rooted Mexican culture,' reads a statement on their website. 'We are passionate that everyone who comes into contact with us feels refreshed.' The venue, which includes a downstairs bar, upstairs dining, and an outdoor hacienda, will continue to operate for a short while longer. Its sister site, Hacienda Harden, is also set to close. The owners remain hopeful and committed to the future. 'You reminded us what this place means to people and why this next chapter matters so much, from me, Jayjay and the whole office thank you so much for all the love,' they said. 'We're here for a little bit longer. Remember we are not done yet… This is just the beginning. "We want to build what comes next with you. Because whatever that next version looks like, it's going to have the same soul – yours.' Ojo Rojo's closure adds to a growing list of businesses shutting their doors in Bournemouth and across the UK. In Bournemouth, the Winton branch of WHSmith closed earlier this year, and the town has seen other high street names disappear amid rising costs and shifting shopping habits. Nationally, the retail and hospitality sectors are facing significant challenges. Department store Beales, which first opened in Bournemouth in 1881, closed its last remaining store in Poole in May 2025, citing increased operational costs and tax burdens. Other notable closures include Karen's Diner in Islington, which shut its final UK branch in June 2025 after its parent company went into liquidation with £400,000 in debt. Fashion retailer River Island is reportedly developing a radical rescue plan amid financial struggles, with store closures and job losses being potential outcomes. The Original Factory Shop is undergoing significant restructuring, with several stores across regions such as Worcestershire, Durham, and Cumbria slated to shut down this month. These closures highlight the broader economic pressures facing UK businesses, including rising operational costs, changing consumer behaviours, and increased competition from online retailers. What is happening to the hospitality industry? By Laura McGuire, consumer reporter MANY Food and drink chains have been struggling in recently as the cost of living has led to fewer people spending on eating out. Businesses had been struggling to bounce back after the pandemic, only to be hit with soaring energy bills and inflation. Multiple chains have been affected, resulting in big-name brands like Wetherspoons and Frankie & Benny's closing branches. Some chains have not survived, Byron Burger fell into administration last year, with owners saying it would result in the loss of over 200 jobs. Pizza giant, Papa Johns is shutting down 43 of its stores soon. Tasty, the owner of Wildwood, said it will shut sites as part of major restructuring plans 4

Jack Reacher author Lee Child: ‘More sex is medically implausible and I'm as rich and famous as I need to be'
Born in the West Midlands, Lee Child, 70, studied law before working in television. After losing his job following a corporate restructuring, he published Killing Floor, the first in the Jack Reacher series, in 1997. His novels have been adapted into two films, starring Tom Cruise, and an Amazon Prime series. He now writes with his brother Andrew and they headline Theakston Old Peculier crime writing festival in Harrogate next month. The 30th Reacher thriller, Exit Strategy, is out in November. He is married with a daughter, and lives in the north of England. When were you happiest? In 1993, making love on the beach of a deserted island in the Bahamas. What is your greatest fear? I'm from Birmingham. I'm not afraid of things. Things are afraid of me. Which living person do you most admire, and why? The exact median middle-aged black woman in the US. If hard work guaranteed success, she'd be the most successful person on the planet. But she isn't, yet she keeps on going. What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? Always saying yes to people. For example, I'm doing this. What was your most embarrassing moment? Appearing on US breakfast radio. I heard the DJ say that after the news we would hear from the author Lincoln Child. I had to choose between making a guy with a mixed-up PR release look like an idiot or pretending to be Lincoln. I pretended. Aside from a property, what's the most expensive thing you've bought? A painting by Renoir, paid for by demanding a huge fee for a screenwriting deal with a producer I didn't want to work for. The movie was never made. What makes you unhappy? That people my age honestly believed the arc of the universe bent towards justice. Oops. A lot to rethink, at this late stage. What do you most dislike about your appearance? My chin. You could hang a kettle off it. What is your most unappealing habit? This year I'll have been a smoker for 60 years. I started when I was 11. I really enjoyed it then, and I really enjoy it now. Who is your celebrity crush? Has to be either Alice Roberts or Lucy Worsley. Can it be a threesome crush? What did you want to be when you were growing up? First loved, then laid, then paid.
