Another video was taken by her entourage as she was on the set of This Morning with her co-star Dermot O'Leary.

The star previously faced backlash when she made her debut on the flagship ITV daytime magazine programme. Olivia Attwood's Career History From Monster grid girl and Love Island star to daytime telly panellist and respected documentary maker, Olivia Attwood has made a huge career pivot in recent years... Olivia first started as a Monster grid girl at motorsport events in 2012 when she was 19-years-old, and did it right up until she went into Love Island in 2017. After placing third in the reality show with then-boyfriend Chris Hughes, she starred in their own spin-off series, Chris & Olivia: Crackin' On, in 2018. Later that year, she appeared on Celebs Go Dating and then joined the cast of The Only Way Is Essex in 2019, where she had a number of fiery on-screen rows.

In 2021, the tide started to turn. Olivia made appearances on household shows Lorraine, Tipping Point: Lucky Stars and Loose Women. Then, in 2022, ITV commissioned her for her first ever documentary series. She presented Olivia Attwood: Getting Filthy Rich, which explored women selling sexual content online. In June 2023, ITV commissioned Olivia Marries Her Match and made her a regular guest panellist on Loose Women. Her most recent docu-series, Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection, aired in January this year where she sensitively explored the cosmetic industry. Her reality background didn't go down well with some of the more traditionalist viewers, who vowed to switch off. Olivia clapped back at the trolls who shared their dismay with her appointment in the role, as she insisted "there's much more to me." Her colleague Josie Gibson, 40, who is a regular presenter on This Morning, later defended Olivia, saying she's 'brilliant' in the role. She told The Sun: "Oh my God she's brilliant. It's brilliant she gets to do this and I think she's really good. Yeah, really good. Those who know me understand the hard work I've put in to get where I am today. Olivia Attwood "Honestly, you get some backlash like that in this industry and I really don't know why people do it." The former Big Brother star added: "I'll never understand why people do it, you know. To me, I've always loved to see people do well and I genuinely love it. "I think Olivia is brilliant in the role." 10 Olivia Attwood was also the face for an exclusive VIP event for Boots Opticians Credit: 10 Olivia danced with her co-host Dermot O'Leary in a video captured by her entourage Credit: 10 She gave her 2.4million fans a sneak peak her working life Credit: 10 She's also been busy getting new episodes together for her reality show, Bad Boyfriends Credit: 10 The personality delighted meeting fans on the set of Ebay Live's Love Island event Credit: 10 Olivia still managed to get some personal time in with her husband Credit:

All the locations across the UK that you can see the Red Arrows in action this summer
A cancellation due to bad weather on Saturday left thousands of fans gutted HEADS UP! All the locations across the UK that you can see the Red Arrows in action this summer THE legendary Red Arrows are back with a bang this summer - and fans are in for a treat as the iconic RAF display team takes to the skies across the UK. From seaside resorts to city flyovers, we've rounded up every spot you can catch the jaw-dropping jets in action. 3 Here is a roundup of all the places where you can catch the team performing their daring stunts Credit: Getty 3 Crowds have previously packed the streets to watch the legendary RAF display team roar over them Credit: Getty Buzzing Brits got a right royal treat as the Red Arrows kicked off their summer 2025 season with a breathtaking flypast over Buckingham Palace to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day. Crowds packed the streets of London to watch the legendary RAF display team roar over the capital - kicking off months of high-flying action across the UK. The Red Arrows' Hawk T1 jets, known for their iconic red, white and blue smoke trails, can hit dizzying speeds of 660mph and even break the sound barrier in a dive. But it's not just for show - that vibrant vapour helps the pilots judge wind direction and stay in tight formation after splitting apart at eye-watering speeds. Behind the scenes, it takes an army to keep the jets soaring — 11 elite pilots, backed by 100 engineers and support crew, nicknamed the 'Circus' for their precision teamwork. Only the best of the best get to join - Red Arrow hopefuls must clock at least 1,500 flying hours, complete an operational tour, and be rated 'above average' in the air. Here's where you can catch their sky-high stunts this summer... July 2025 21 July – The Tall Ships Races, Aberdeen Display 26 July – Swanage Carnival Display 26 July – Old Buckenham Airshow Display 27 July – Old Buckenham Airshow Display August 2025 09 August – Blackpool Airshow Display 09 August – Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo Flypast 10 August – Blackpool Airshow Display 13 August – Falmouth Week Display – 6.15pm 14 August – Airbourne – Eastbourne International Airshow Display 15 August – Airbourne – Eastbourne International Airshow Display 16 August – Airbourne – Eastbourne International Airshow Display 17 August – Airbourne – Eastbourne International Airshow Display 20 August – Cromer Carnival Display 21 August – Clacton Airshow Display 22 August – Clacton Airshow Display 22 August – Sidmouth Regatta Display 24 August – Roskilde Airshow, Denmark Display 30 August – Bucharest International Air Show Flypast 30 August – Radom Airshow, Poland Display 31 August – Radom Airshow, Poland Display Highlights of the RAF Red Arrows' jaw-dropping displays from 2024 September 2025 05 September – International Ayr Show, Scotland Display 06 September – International Ayr Show, Scotland Display 07 September – Great North Run, Newcastle/South Shields Display 10 September – Guernsey Air Display 11 September – Jersey International Air Display 13 September – International Sanicole Airshow, Belgium Display 14 September – International Sanicole Airshow, Belgium Display 20 September – NATO Days – Ostrava, Czech Republic Display 21 September – NATO Days – Ostrava, Czech Republic Display 27 September – Overseas Event to be confirmed. 28 September – Overseas Event to be confirmed. October 2025 04 October – Duxford Flying Finale Display Let's hope the skies stay clear - because just on Saturday, the Red Arrows were forced to pull the plug on a much-anticipated display at Old Buckenham Airshow due to bad weather. The cancellation left thousands of fans gutted, with organisers confirming the team wouldn't fly amid safety concerns caused by poor visibility and unpredictable conditions. They took to social media to post: "Sadly, the RAF Red Arrows have been cancelled today due to the deteriorating conditions. "Safety is paramount and just announced by Red 10. "We have managed to have more than half of the acts display, and thank you all for your support." It's a reminder that even the mightiest jets are at the mercy of the British weather. So, fingers crossed for blue skies at their upcoming shows.

Britain's most tattooed man says new online safety law is locking him out of the internet
The most tattooed man in the UK has vented his frustrations after his face tattoos have impacted his access to certain websites. Matthew Whelan, who goes by the alias King of Ink Land, claims 90% of his body is tattooed and says he has undergone 1,600 hours under the needle. While the tattoos have previously impacted his work life, they are now causing a problem for Matthew's online activity as a result of the new Online Safety Act enacted in the UK. Matthew Whelan, who goes by the alias King of Ink Land, claims 90% of his body is tattooed and says he has undergone 1,600 hours under the needle. Pic: Instagram The new legislation requires explicit websites, which feature pornography or violence, to request age verification checks in a means to prevent underage users accessing the sites. The legislation has caused an issue for 45-year-old Matthew as they do not recognise him due to the tattoos. Speaking to Need To Know, Matthew detailed that he is continuously asked to 'remove my face.' He said: 'I can't just do a Nicholas Cage or John Travolta like in Face/Off. All this proves is that technology and AI are discriminatory and not set for people with facial tattoos.' The tattoo fanatic added that he felt he was being 'punished.' 'No matter how different or alternative you look, there is no place for discrimination — especially from technology,' he stated. Pic: Instagram Despite constantly having his ID questioned, the latest refusal has Matthew 'frustrated.' 'This is who I am,' he insisted, 'Why is it trying to change me?' The Birmingham native added that he was considering using VPN as a means to bypass the checks. The Birmingham native added that he was considering using VPN as a means to bypass the checks. Pic: Instargram It comes not long after a Cork fan got a little bit ahead of himself in the run up to the All Ireland Senior Hurling Championships. To be fair, Cork were red hot favourites to take home the Liam McCarthy for the first time in 20 years last month, having dethroned Limerick as Munster Champions and then hammering seven goals into the back of the net against the Dubs. With a six-point lead at half-time of the All Ireland final against Tipperary, it looked all but a certainty that Cork would be the best in Ireland. Pic: Skint Tattoo Studio Unfortunately for Cork fans, Tipp dominated the second half of the match, with the final score a resounding 3-27 to 1-18. Among the uber confident Cork supporters was Michael John who even got an ink to commemorate a week before the final. The tattoo, which is placed on the GAA fans arm, reads: 'Cork All Ireland Senior Hurling Champions 2025.' Skint Tattoo Studio took to Facebook to share pictures of the ink, which was done by business owner Darragh Murphy.
