Olivia Attwood 'frustrated' as ITV The Price of Perfection filming halted last minute
The second series of The Price of Perfection will see Olivia Attwood explore the world of cosmetic surgery and the reasons behind people's pursuit of physical perfection
Olivia Attwood has shared her experience of an unexpected disruption while filming the new series of The Price of Perfection.
The 34-year-old host is delving into the cosmetic surgery realm and what drives individuals to seek physical perfection once more.
In one of the upcoming episodes, Olivia heads to Turkey to learn about a young woman's decision to have cosmetic surgery, but the shoot encountered unforeseen issues.
While preparing to observe what she described as the "most complex procedure" she has ever witnessed, Olivia received disappointing news that the lead surgeon did not want the entire operation being filmed.
Following back-and-forth conversations and phone calls, permission was granted for Olivia to witness only the final stages of the operation. This compromise left her feeling disillusioned, reports the Daily Star.
Sharing her thoughts with journalists, Olivia said: "It was awful because obviously a lot goes into planning these shoots and we travelled all the way out there and there was so much involved in the research."
She expressed concern by saying, "For myself, I was thinking this is a massive red flag. Is she going to be ok? Why have they after weeks and months of conversations suddenly changed their mind? There was a load of things that were going on in my mind at the time of possibilities why they reached that decision."
Despite the upset, Olivia emphasised the importance of authenticity, stating: "It was frustrating but we decided to tell the story as it is because that is the reality of what happened. They did change their mind at the absolute final hour and we told that story in its truthfulness."
In the upcoming second series of The Price of Perfection, Olivia delves into six distinct elements within the beauty industry: Weight Loss, Smile, Skin, Mummy Makeover, Men and Spending 100K and Counting.
The audience will witness the Love Island icon and Loose Women panelist immerse herself among clients and clinicians, uncover the vast selection of treatments now on offer and even test some out personally, such as pioneering energy procedures to the purported benefits of salmon sperm injections.
The new series welcomes reappearances from well-known personalities and extensive chats with stars including Lottie Moss, Kate Moss' younger sister and Chantelle Connelly from Geordie Shore.
After Lottie, aged 27, was admitted to hospital following her use of Ozempic, presenter Olivia discloses that she was eager to grasp why Lottie resorted to this medication initially.
Olivia confessed: "I was excited about a weight loss episode.. It's something that we just all hear about so much but actually I had very little understanding of how it actually works."
She added: "It had a lot of press but I wanted to understand more about the detail behind it, why someone so petite would take Ozempic."
Despite the tough conversation ahead, considering the potential criticisms Lottie might face, Olivia commended her candidness: "It's not an easy conversation to have when she knows she's probably going to receive a fair amount of backlash but she was really honest. It's important to have those conversations."

Love Island star's secret link to former Islander and mum's unlikely job
EXCLUSIVE: Love Island 2025 star Blu Chegini has raised eyebrows with his incredibly honest and open attitude towards sex - and it turns out it's all thanks to his mum's very unusual job Incoming Love Island star Blu Chegini is already turning heads ahead of the show's explosive return on Monday, June 9 for its 12th series, but it's not just his piercing eyes or his shredded physique that have people talking. The 20-year-old, who hails from London and is a construction project manager, is packing a past that's guaranteed to raise eyebrows – from his secret connection to former Islander who appeared on the All Stars series earlier this year, to his rather unexpected upbringing inside his mum's sex shop in Spain. In an exclusive chat with The Mirror, Blu revealed that although he hasn't yet met Kaz, who famously appeared in Love Island 2018, their paths have more than just crossed in spirit - they both train at the same Muay Thai gym on the Costa Blanca. 'I haven't met her, but she trains at Real Paddy Club in Spain – the same gym I go to,' Blu explained. 'She trains with someone I know.' Blu, who's been boxing since he was a teen, credits Muay Thai for keeping him focused and humble. It's part of what he hopes to bring to the villa – discipline, confidence and a whole lot of charisma. But if you thought training with a former Islander was wild, wait until you hear about his home life. Blu's mum runs a sex shop in Spain – and not just any backstreet boutique. It's a fully-fledged, advice-giving, no-judgement haven for couples and curious minds alike. Asked if he ever got a family discount, Blu laughs: 'Yeah, pretty much. Anything you want!' While some might be mortified, Blu speaks candidly about what it was like growing up surrounded by adult toys and open conversations about sex. 'It was cool,' he says. 'Back then it was more taboo, but people eventually realised it's actually pretty awesome. A lot of my friends go to my mum for advice - it's a very open relationship.' His grounded, no-shame attitude towards sexuality could serve him well in the villa – especially now that ITV has confirmed it won't censor sex scenes in the 2025 series. For the first time since the show toned things down in recent years, producers say islanders who hook up will be shown doing so, sparking a major conversation online. So what does Blu – whose own mum gives out sex advice – make of it all? 'She hasn't asked me, but it wouldn't surprise her if it happened,' he admits. 'I'm not going in expecting it – whatever happens, happens.' ITV insiders say the move reflects a more 'authentic' approach to dating on screen, but for Blu, it's just another part of being open and honest about intimacy. That openness, he says, was modelled early on by his mum – and he's not shy about it. 'Oh yeah, full tour,' he chuckles, when we ask if he's ever taken a date to the family business. 'The shop gives everyone a whole experience – education and the shop assistants make you feel comfortable.' Blu's already won fans over with his straight-talking, down-to-earth charm. Describing himself as 'energetic and bubbly,' he's going into the villa hoping to be 'someone who can be there for others when they're having a tough time' – and says he's not the type to play games. Keeping coy about his type, and not specifying looks when speaking about his type, he is mostly into 'Someone who is family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive. Personality goes a long way." With a connection to past royalty, a refreshingly honest view on modern love, and an upbringing like no other, Blu is about to make waves in Love Island 2025 – and we'll be watching every second. Love Island 2025 begins Monday 9 June at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Love Island's Blu Chegini offers sex tips to co-stars and sets his sights on the hideaway as he reveals his parents' VERY racy jobs
Love Island's Blu Chegini has joked that he will offer sex tips to his co-stars in the villa and has set his eyes on the hideaway as he opened up about his mum's VERY racy job. The construction project manager, 26, from London, is one of the sexy singletons ready to find The One on the upcoming series of the ITV2 dating show. Ahead of entering the iconic villa in Mallorca, Blu revealed that his mum owns a 'popular' sex shop in Spain. When asked what his parents think if he ended up doing the deed on the programme, Blu said: 'I haven't really spoken to them about it. 'It's not something I probably would have gone and said, "look, listen, what's going to happen." From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Yes it's something that we've been open with our whole lives. 'It doesn't mean that I'm going in there with like "I'm going do that, this is what is going to happen." 'Like, whatever happens, they're gonna be supported no matter what. 'So for me, it's not always that.' The hunk is very interested to see what Love Island's iconic Hideaway has to offer - which is usually kitted out with various sex toys and kinky outfits. The room is somewhere the Islanders can get some alone time in an intimate setting away from the rest of their co-stars He said: 'I'm keen to see what the hideaway has in store!' Blu added: 'I hope they bring in like, not the trashy stuff.' The hunk is very interested to see what Love Island's iconic Hideaway has to offer - which is usually kitted out with various sex toys and kinky outfits When asked if he'll give any tips to the other Islanders, he said: 'I don't think I'm qualified for that... 'But I could give some tips if needed.' It comes after it was revealed that Love Island fans are set to enjoy the x-rated sex scenes happening in the famous Hideaway again as a new summer instalment looms in. The hit dating ITV show is set to bring sexy back for the very first time in five years, according to bosses' comments. 'If sex happens, we'll show it. 'The Hideaway will be open 24 hours,' Mike Spencer, Love Island's Creative Director said. He added: 'We need to keep the show fresh and exciting. 'After 10 years, the stats speak for themselves. The show will continue to thrive.' And although the usual play of Love Island is to couple up with one other person from the opposite sex - bosses are hoping for potential throuples in the villa this year as they 'tear up the rule book' and install new furniture to help encourage bonking and create drama. One of the new additions includes a trampoline bed that sits across the swimming pool, and the Love Island exec has insisted it has been tested for up to four people. The secret hideaway - which includes a bed and hot tub - is now open 24 hours a day for those that aren't coupled up. Love Island's Harry Cooksley and Ben Holbrough have also insisted that they WILL have sex in the villa - and have already warned their families about saucy romps airing to the nation. When asked about if would go all the way, Harry from Guildford, Surrey, said: 'Listen... It's not out of question. 'If it feels right then I will. I have briefed my mum as well. Meanwhile Ben from Gloustershire said: 'I can never say never. 'You know, you gotta take every day as it comes. 'Who knows... there's a girl and I was trying to bed with, and she's sexy... 'Who knows, cuddling every night, it could get carried away. 'The hideaway is there as well, so we'll wait and see.' Love Island starts Monday 9th June 2025.
