Olivia Attwood sends temperatures soaring in a black bikini as she brushes off her TikTok backlash during sunshine break in Tenerife
Olivia Attwood did her best to brush off the backlash surrounding her recent TikTok posts as she topped up her tan in Tenerife on Thursday.
The former Love Island star, 34, who is currently filming the second series of her show Bad Boyfriends on the island, looked sensational in the eye-catching two-piece, which featured a triangle bikini top and matching tie-side bottoms.
Posing for the camera, she accessorised her poolside look with a stylish black cowboy hat.
She also gave fans a glimpse of her designer handbags, the Goyard Saint Louis tote bag, which retails for £1,795, and a chic black-and-white Chanel beach tote bag.
She captioned the bikini-clad snaps: 'Good Morning (cowboy emoji) (why am I sat on a drain? I don't actually know)'

The sizzling snaps come after Olivia accused TikTok subscribers of 'lacking humour' and 'taking things way too seriously' as she suffered backlash for a perceived swipe at former boyfriend Chris Hughes, 32, and his new relationship.
The TV personality began a year-long romance with Chris on the third series of Love Island before meeting and subsequently marrying Gillingham footballer Bradley Dack, 31, in 2023.
But she has attracted criticism across social media for appearing to poke fun at her former boyfriend's surprise relationship with JoJo Siwa, 22, after he bonded with the American influencer on the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother.
Responding to the backlash on Wednesday, Olivia claimed it reflected her critics' lack of humour and inability to understand sarcasm.
She said: 'I feel like on Instagram my huns always pass the vibe check, they know my sense of humour. On TikTok, it feels like everyone takes everything so literally.
'There's no nuance, there's no sense of humour, and I kind of feel if you've got no sense of humour then that's on you, it's not really a me problem, you know?
She added: 'If you can't tell when I'm saying something sarcastically, I don't know what to tell you.
'People always ask me how I manage in this industry for eight years with social media and stuff, and the telly stuff and whatever. Literally, my only piece of advice is don't deep it. Nothing is ever that deep.
'If you've got your health, if you've got a roof over your head, it's not that deep. None of us are getting out of here alive guys, let's just try and have some fun.
'People are having full-on Thread conversations about me, discussing something that's not even true. It's so twisted.
'And if I was to comment, they'd be like "How dare you defend yourself? You're so mean."'
Since meeting as contestants on Celebrity Big Brother in April, Chris and JoJo have been inseparable, but Olivia has been critical of her former boyfriend's unexpected new romance.
Responding to a question on TikTok, one user asked: 'I'm sorry, I need to know what's Olivia Attwood's reaction to this Chris and JoJo thing.'
Olivia then gave a cutting one-liner and wrote in the caption: 'She's really famous,' hinting that she believes he is only dating the influencer because of her celebrity status.
She subsequently posted a new video in which she mimes the lyrics to Pretty Little Baby, while her husband Bradley gently caresses her face.
When it came to the words 'pretty little baby', Olivia fluttered her eyes at the footballer before bursting into laughter as he kissed her on the forehead.
Chris and JoJo have remained coy about their relationship status, despite the former Love Island contestant sharing a video which appears to capture them in bed together.
When asked about her connection to Chris on breakfast show Lorraine, JoJo said: 'It's so funny to me. It's so funny how straight up people are.'
When pressed on whether they'd had a chat about being 'exclusive', she continued: 'Chris and I have had a lot of chats. We've never gone into the kitchen and the head is turning, we've never had that version.
She added: 'He's the best man.'
JoJo was pressed again on This Morning, with host Alison Hammond saying: 'I'm so invested in you and Chris, I don't care what anyone says, I want to know.
'I'm loving this little relationship I think it's beautiful, but just for the record, what is your relationship status with Chris right now?'
JoJo laughed and appeared shocked before replying: 'I will say he is up there as one of my favourite people in the entire world...
'He makes me happier than I think I've ever been, he makes me feel so full as me, he's a really good one that's been the most incredible addition to my life.'
During her one-woman show on Monday evening, JoJo paid tribute to the Love Island star with her cover of Bette Davies' Eyes by changing the lyrics to 'Chris Hughes' eyes.'
Several fans then spotted his reaction from the back of the venue, with the presenter beaming before blowing JoJo a kiss.
The Dance Moms star then revealed a rhinestone-covered Sunderland football shirt, the team he supports, after they were promoted to the Premier League on Saturday, telling the crowd: 'This is for somebody special who's here tonight.'

Shaken by crises, Switzerland fetters UBS's global dream
BERN, June 6 (Reuters) - Switzerland announced reforms on Friday to make its biggest bank UBS (UBSG.S), opens new tab safer and avoid another crisis, hampering the global ambitions of a lender whose financial weight eclipses the country's economy. UBS emerged as Switzerland's sole global bank more than two years ago after the government hastily arranged its rescue of scandal-hit Credit Suisse to prevent a disorderly collapse. The demise of Credit Suisse, one of the world's biggest banks, rattled global markets and blindsided officials and regulators, whose struggle to steer the lender as it lurched from one scandal to the next underscored their weakness. On Friday, speaking from the same podium where she had announced the Credit Suisse rescue in 2023 as finance minister, Switzerland's president Karin Keller-Sutter delivered a firm message. The country would not be wrongfooted again. "I don't believe that the competitiveness will be impaired, but it is true that growth abroad will become more expensive," Keller-Sutter said of UBS. "We've had two crises. 2008 and 2023," she said. "If you see something that is broken, you have to fix it." During the global financial crisis of 2008, UBS was hit by a losses in subprime debt, as a disastrous expansion into riskier investment banking forced it to write down tens of billions of dollars and ultimately turn to the state for help. Memories of that crisis also linger, reinforcing the government's resolve after the collapse of Credit Suisse. For UBS, which has a financial balance sheet of around $1.7 trillion, far bigger than the Swiss economy, the implications of the reforms proposed on Friday are clear. Switzerland no longer wants to back its international growth. "Bottom line: who is carrying the risk for growth abroad?" said Keller-Sutter. "The bank, its owners or the state?" The rules the government proposed demand that UBS in Switzerland holds more capital to cover risks in its foreign operations. That move, one of the most important steps taken by the Swiss in a series of otherwise piecemeal measures, will make UBS's businesses abroad more expensive to run for one of the globe's largest banks for millionaires and billionaires. Following publication of the reform plans, UBS Chairman Colm Kelleher and CEO Sergio Ermotti said in an internal memo that if fully implemented, they would undermine the bank's "global competitive footprint" and hurt the Swiss economy. The reform would require UBS to hold as much as $26 billion in extra capital. Some believe the demands may alter the bank's course. "It could be that UBS has to change its strategy of growth in the United States and Asia," said Andreas Venditti, an analyst at Vontobel. "It's not just growing. It makes the existing business more expensive. It is an incentive to get smaller and this will most likely happen." Credit Suisse's demise exploded the myth of invincibility of one of the wealthiest countries in the world, home to a global reserve currency, and proved as unworkable a central reform of the financial crisis to prevent state bailouts. For many in Switzerland, the government's reforms are long overdue. "The bank is bigger than the entire Swiss economy. It makes sense that it should not grow even bigger," said Andreas Missbach of Alliance Sud, a group that campaigns for transparency. "It is good that the government did not give in to lobbying by UBS. The question is whether it is enough. We have a banking crisis roughly every 12 years. So I'm not really put at ease." UBS CEO Ermotti had lobbied against the reforms, arguing that a heavy capital burden would put the bank on the back foot with rivals. The world's second-largest wealth manager after Morgan Stanley is dwarfed by its U.S. peer. Morgan Stanley shares value the firm at twice its book value, compared with UBS's 20% premium to book. On Friday, the bank reiterated this message, saying that it strongly disagreed with the "extreme" increase in capital. But others are sceptical that the government has done enough. Hans Gersbach, a professor at ETH Zurich, said there was still no proper plan to cope should UBS run into trouble. "The credibility of the too big to fail regime remains in question."

Love Island casting comes under fire AGAIN after it's revealed star had TikTok account where he ‘secretly films women'
AXED Love Island hunk Kyle Ashman took part in 'misogynistic' videos with a pal where they secretly filmed women. The lad was struck from the dating show line-up earlier this week after it was revealed that he had been held and questioned by police over a machete attack at a wake. Now it has been revealed that he had a joint TikTok and YouTube page with a friend called Fin Musker. Whilst the joint pages have been wiped of content, a source has told The Sun that the videos involved them 'picking up girls and filming them without knowledge'. The source added that the videos 'displayed misogynistic behaviour towards women'. Some content still online shows Fin and Kyle out on the town, kissing women and speaking to them in bars. When approached about the videos, Kyle did not wish to comment. It raises further question marks about ITV's vetting process for its reality shows. Earlier this week Kyle was sent packing from Majorca after The Sun alerted show bosses that he had been arrested on suspicion of a machete attack and was only cleared by police last month - meaning he would've been in discussion with authorities whilst auditioning for Love Island. ITV chiefs sent him home from Majorca, plunging the show into chaos ahead of Monday's launch. A source said: 'All of the online content had been cleared so may not have come up on surface level checks, but for this kind of show far deeper trawls should be in place. 'ITV has steered clear of OnlyFans stars in the past and Kyle's link to one - particularly taking part in joint content of a misogynistic nature - is surely not in keeping with Love Island being a family show.' Love Island's Kyle Ashman reveals he wants show return as Casa Amor hunk after being axed over machete attack on dad ITV declined to comment. Ashman, 23, was one of two quizzed over a brutal machete attack at a wake in Stafford in February but was released with no further action. Sources said the channel was unaware of the incident and he was not flagged as part of contestant checks. The victim, 38, nearly lost his arm. He was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment and kept in for around two weeks. Another mourner was glassed, one struck with a metal pole, and two people run over by a car during the 15 minutes of terror at a social club. Ashman, who lives in the town, was one of two men to be nicked on suspicion of affray then bailed. Police confirmed that after the matter had been investigated the pair were released with no further action only last month. Speaking after he was axed from the show, he said: "I'm not a bad guy, honestly. I'm a normal guy from a normal place. An opportunity arose to find love and I grabbed it with both hands, and it's been taken away from me. "I've seen the support pages and, who knows, maybe I'll get the chance to go on Casa Amor or as a bombshell, go back in and show you who I really am. Show you I'm not a bad guy. We'll see." 3 3 Troubled history of telly hit By Jonathan Kanengoni LOVE Island has been hit by a string of controversies since it first aired in 2015. Malia Arkian lasted just three hours before she was marched out by security in its second year after pushing co-contestant Kady McDermott for spilling wine on her. Sherif Lanre was booted off after nine days in 2019. He had made a vile joke after accidentally kicking fan fave Molly-Mae Hague in the crotch during a play fight. In the same year Women's Aid complained of contestant Joe Garratt's 'abusive' behaviour towards on-screen partner Lucie Donlan. She broke down in tears after he told her to stay away from the other lads. Ollie Williams left after three days in 2020 when he realised he still had feelings for his ex. But his exit came amid mounting pressure on bosses to remove him after pictures of him allegedly trophy hunting came to light. Salesman Haris Namani was dumped in 2023 after The Sun revealed footage of him in a street brawl. The show has also been accused of failing to look after islanders' mental health when filming stops. Sophie Gradon took her own life, aged 32, two years after she appeared on Love Island 2016. And Mike Thalassitis's suicide in 2019, at 26, prompted calls for better after-care by reality shows. In 2022, watchdog Ofcom received 3,600 complaints in a week over alleged misogynistic behaviour by some of the male contestants. And this year it received thousands of complaints about All Stars contestant Elma Pazar's bullying of Ekin- Su Culculoglu during a row.
