Though she's not the first reality star to host the show, with fellow summer star and X Factor icon Rylan Clark having already proven a dab hand on the set, Olivia's villa background hasn't gone down well with some traditionalists who have gone so far as to say they'll "definitely stop watching'.
But
ITV
's new golden girl.
She exclusively told The Sun: "Those who know me understand the hard work I've put in to get where I am today.
"I'm forever grateful to Love Island for being the springboard to my career, but I'm excited to show there's so much more to me beyond the villa."

She continued: "It's been a lot of hard work, but I've always stayed focused on my goals and believed in myself and I'm very thankful for ITV in believing me."
As someone who grew up watching the show as a child, she knows what it's about and the position it has in the national consciousness.
She said: "When I got the gig, I was over the moon! I grew up watching the show, and to be a part of it feels like such a huge achievement!"
Olivia will turn to an old motto when it is her time in front of the camera, telling us her ultimate piece of advice is: "Stay true to who you are, no matter how much your world changes."

However, a friend of Olivia's told us, she hasn't even thought about it.
They said: 'To be honest, it hadn't even crossed her mind when she took the
This Morning
gig.
'Of course, she wouldn't relish having to interact with Chris on camera, but she's a professional at the end of the day.
'She's focused on making the most of the summer hosting slot and doing her job well - who else is on the rota doesn't concern her. When you work in telly, not everyone you work with is going to be your best mate.'

The 45-second trick to get a snatched waist for summer that Love Island star swears by as people hail it ‘new life hack'
WHETHER it's that time of the month or something you've eaten, bloating can affect many of us. It's a common condition that leaves your body feeling tight, stretched, and swollen - and your clothes feeling uncomfortable. 4 Mal Nicol revealed her easy trick to get a snatched waist Credit: Tiktok/@mallurpaal 4 Mal performs a DIY lymphatic drainage on her stomach Credit: Tiktok/@mallurpaal Fizzy drinks, eating certain foods and swallowing air when eating can all lead to bloating. Water retention, constipation, stress and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can all trigger it too. You might avoid triggers the best you can, but sometimes bloating can feel inescapable. However, there is a treatment celebrities absolutely swear by to reduce it - lymphatic drainage. Lymphatic drainage is a non-invasive treatment that's particularly popular in Brazil. It's a lot like a gentle therapeutic massage and used to alleviate digestive issues, hormonal imbalance, and reduce cellulite. Lymphatic drainage involves massaging inflamed areas with the fingertips in a clockwise motion to stimulate the lymph nodes. And Love Island star Mal Nicol has revealed she swore by the technique on the show to look bikini-ready at all times. Most read in Celebrity in a TikTok video demonstating the technique, she said: "I genuinely did this, but I didn't know this was lymphatic drainage. "I've always done it. Like, any time my belly's out, any time I've ever felt a bit bloated, I would put a bit of cream on so it's a bit glidy [and massage my stomach]. "I remember doing it in the villa when I was in my bikini. "It's really gross. I do it both ways. I always end it this way, clockwise. "It's very weird, but yeah, have a go this summer." Mal's clip - captioned "burping my way to a flat tummy hahahahahh" - went viral with more than 1.6million views. And social media users are loving her simple hack. "Ur so real for this babe", one gushed. A second insisted: "It acc helps so much." 4 Mal says she used the technique in the Love Island villa Credit: ITV 4 She demonstrated the hack in a quick video Credit: Tiktok/@mallurpaal A third echoed: "Crying, this is my new life hack now." "Brb, burping myself rn", joked a fourth. A fifth added: "Why is this so funny but such a good to know hack." Meanwhile, a sixth said: "Love thissss, my new routine." What are the after effects of lymphatic drainage? Lymphatic drainage has physical, and mental benefits. The treatment reduces swelling around the target area, but it can also leave you feeling calmer, energised and more focused. Physiotherapist and lymphatic drainage expert, She explains: 'After treatment, reduced bloating or constipation are the main benefits, and it helps settle IBS flare-ups. 'You feel lighter, flatter and less bloated. 'But it also helps with brain fog, memory, and improves your mental health, as some feel more energised, with greater focus and concentration. "But, it depends on each individual.' When is the best time to have lymphatic drainage? 'There is no best treatment time,' says Flavia. Read more on the Irish Sun 'Lymphatic treatments are recommended to flush out toxins and excess water retention from progesterone (PMS), but it is beneficial after a period to help with body detoxification.' While the effects of lymphatic drainage can be noticeable immediately, they can also last for up to ten days post treatment, depending on your metabolism and lifestyle, which is why Flavia recommends MLD every ten days.
