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."

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.' When her first This Morning gig does roll around, Olivia will be fuelled up with Costa Coffee Latte, which she calls her "the "perfect pick-me-up for those busy days". 5 Olivia has appeared on This Morning as a guest before Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 5 Olivia found fame on Love Island with ex Chris Hughes Credit: Rex Features 5 She's teamed up with Roman Kemp for a new Costa campaign Credit: Costa Ahead of then, she's teamed up with WhatsApp line to get the nation motivated.
