'We'll have a little holiday together in a couple of weeks.
'When we are together we make that time valuable, which I think you end up doing when you have less time together because you know you can't take it for granted.'
In the interview Olivia also spoke about how she is 'more careful' about having cosmetic surgery since filming The Price of Perfection.
The 34-year-old TV personality has undergone a range of procedures since she was in her 20s, including breast augmentation and reduction, Botox and fillers.
But doing her ITV1 beauty docuseries has given Olivia an 'awakening' in what she has put her body through over the years.
In an interview with Heat magazine, the star explained: 'Being on the other side of things was an awakening because it made me understand these procedures are major surgeries.'
The former Love Island contestant has ruled out becoming a cosmetic surgeon or an aesthetics provider because it is out of her 'intellectual remit'.
Olivia also admitted she was 'naïve' about how weight-loss injections can affect people, but she got an understanding of how the jabs work in the new series of The Price of Perfection.

And Olivia has never been tempted to use weight-loss injections because she wants more curves on her body.
Olivia's new interview comes after she brushed off the backlash surrounding her recent TikTok posts.
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.
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 last 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.

Tammy Hembrow's husband Matt Zukowski lets off steam in a 'smash room' amid rumours their marriage is on the rocks: 'Probably needed a hug'
Tammy Hembrow and her husband Matt Zukowski have been fuelling rumours that their marriage is on the rocks for weeks. The fitness influencer even admitted she is going through some 'heavy stuff' in an emotional video on Tuesday. Now Matt, 29, has shared a carousel of photos and videos from an emotionally charged outing at a smash room. The Love Island alum admitted he 'probably needed a hug' in one video that showed him hurling a ceramic mug at a block of stone and smashing it into pieces. Smash rooms, also known as rage rooms, offer a safe space for people to vent their frustrations and relieve stress by smashing breakable objects. Matt set the video to the dulcet tones of Adele's 'Hometown Glory' – a ballad about Adele's love and appreciation for her hometown of West Norwood in London and specifically how she wanted to stay there despite being pressured to leave for university. The song captures the feeling of being rooted in a place and the longing to remain there, even amidst pressures to move on. Sources close to the couple previously told Daily Mail Australia the pair are 'on a break', with Matt relocating back to his native Melbourne while Tammy remained in Queensland with her three children. Matt also ramped up rumours that his whirlwind romance with Tammy may be over after posting footage of himself going to the movies solo. He took to Instagram to share a video from inside the cinema, revealing he was watching Death of a Unicorn alone — a move which came after fans noticed he was absent from Tammy's 31st birthday celebrations. On Wednesday, Matt attended back-to-back films in the cinema by himself and posted his reviews of 'good shark movie' Dangerous Animals and new horror flick The Ritual. 'I decided that I had a little bit of time so I decided to get a ticket to the new horror, The Ritual,' he said. Matt appeared to be carrying a box of alcohol in one arm while he filmed himself walking home from the cinemas. Meanwhile, his wife Tammy took her youngest child Posy to the park for a 'bestie date' and then went on a solo excursion to the beach with her three kids at sunset. The mum-of-three sat on the sand and watched the 'strawberry moon' while her children played in the shallows. Later, she thanked her fans for their support during this 'difficult' time. 'I am so grateful for all the sweet messages guys, I wish I could respond to every single one,' Tammy captioned an aesthetic snap of a leather-bound journal and a cup of hot tea on her bed. 'I genuinely wish how much you knew how much it actually means to me. 'Crazy feeling you have an online community of people you've never met but you just feel like they get you and are giving you a big hug. 'It's a hard thing to describe but you guys do that for me and I am so grateful for that.' Tammy said she is sending the 'biggest hugs' to 'anyone who needs it right now.' The cryptic post comes after the fitness influencer, 31, struggled to keep her composure in an emotional video on Tuesday. 'I just want to say thank you to everyone, I have been dealing with some heavy stuff. I feel like people can tell... I definitely don't like to pretend I am okay when I am not,' she said as she tried not to break down in tears. 'I feel like I have been trying to do that for a little while because I have so much I have to focus on. I just feel like pretending is doing me more harm than good.' Tammy added she would not go into detail about what she is going through, but asked her followers to be 'kind'. In the video, she was not wearing her wedding and engagement rings. Just hours earlier, Tammy shared a cryptic post saying 'when something feels off it is usually women's intuition'. Tammy and Matt began dating in mid-2023, after he slid into her DMs and were engaged just three months later.

How a French sex worker got away with murder by blackmailing Edward VIII
Play on Apple Spotify On the first episode of a new ' Queens, Kings and Dastardly Things' podcast series, Royal biographer Robert Hardman and historian Kate Williams examine the 'objectionable' love lives of King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson. This three-part miniseries aims to definitely answer the question of whether the controversial Royal couple are deserving of their notorious reputation. Scandal followed King Edward VIII after his unlikely romance with the twice-divorced American socialite. The King's unprecedented decision in 1936 to abdicate and leave the throne to his younger brother in order to marry Ms Simpson changed the course of British history, leading to the reign of the nation's longest serving monarch Elizabeth II. Even before the pair met and broke with Royal tradition, King Edward was displaying signs he may be unworthy of the crown as early as the First World War. This first episode explores the scandals of Edward's youth, kept under wraps in their day, which expose the soon-to-be King's dubious character. Edward's Liaison with a Murderous Courtesan Young Prince Edward was deemed the British Empire's most eligible bachelor. He was tall, handsome and a would-be King. In 1914, at the onset of the First World War, a 20-year-old Edward joined the Grenadier Guards, leaving Britain for France to help the war effort. On the insistence of Secretary of State Lord Kitchener, Edward never saw any frontline action and was appointed a Staff Captain, an administrative role. Two years into the war, Edward had been gotten drunk by some senior officers and they prompted him to lose his virginity in a French brothel. He eagerly obliged, as Mail columnist Hardman explained: 'Edward got very drunk at a dinner in Amiel and he was then introduced to a popular girl in town named Paulette. 'She was already attached to an officer in the Royal Flying Corps, but I think everyone decided he could spare her for this important duty. 'She took him to bed and this night of passion was by all accounts a great success. It made a lifelong impression on Edward himself. 'Afterwards he writes, all I think of is women now.' After sleeping with a prostitute, the Prince of Wales then turned his wandering eyes to a more serious paramour, a Parisian courtesan by the name of Marguerite Alibert. Unlike the Prince, 17-year-old Marguerite had a difficult upbringing, as Kate Williams told the podcast. 'Marguerite is the daughter of a coachman. Her little brother was killed by a lorry and her parents blame her for it. 'They send her to a Catholic school in Paris where Marguerite gets pregnant and then expelled. 'She's quickly snapped up by one of these high-end brothels. She's only 16 at the time and this is the only way she can earn money. 'Marguerite works her way up to becoming a courtesan to much older men, which she is very good at – marrying clients and receiving generous divorce settlements.' In 1917, Marguerite is introduced to Edward, and they begin a very intense love affair. Edward sends 20 letters to the courtesan, featuring explicit sexual details. 'They're very explicit – they'd ruin his reputation if they ever got out', Williams said. Knowing that the prince would soon be forced to leave her, Marguerite cleverly kept hold of the letters as an 'insurance policy' if she ever found herself in trouble with the law. She would need the letters six years later, as Robert Hardman explained: 'Marguerite ended up in a particularly miserable marriage with an Egyptian aristocrat. 'She ends up murdering him at the Savoy Hotel. It all goes to court – with the courtesan tried in London.' The former Courtesan shot her husband three times - in the neck, back and head - in what is seen as an 'open and shut case'. However, as Hardman told the podcast: 'Marguerite presents the letters to the prosecution and threatened to make them public. Some kind of deal is done. 'Afterwards the case was not pursued with any great alacrity, almost certainly thanks to her earlier liaison with the Prince of Wales.' Marguerite was acquitted of all charges. The letters were so decisive in the case not only because of they revealed the affair, but also due to the Edward's moaning about the war effort. 'These letters aren't just love letters', Williams said. 'Within them, he's also critical of his father George V and there were also criticisms of how World War One was organised and fought. 'There were whispers at the time Marguerite had a relationship with Edward, but no one could prove it because they were buried in her chest at home.'
