Love Island's Olivia Hawkins 'dating hunky boxer and Netflix star' - weeks after kissing Celebs Go Dating co-star
Olivia Hawkins is reportedly dating a hunky boxer and Netflix star, weeks after she locked lips with her Celebs Go Dating co-star Louis Russell. The former Love Islander, 29, is said to have sparked up a romance with Too Hot To Handle star Kelechi Dyke, 31, with the pair having been on a few dates. And according to The Sun, things are certainly hotting up between the pair and are getting 'quite serious'. A source told the publication: 'Liv was linked to fellow Celebs Go Dating co-star Louis Russell when production on the series first started. 'But since then she's been on a series of dates with boxer Kelechi 'Kelz' Dyke, which have been filmed for the show.

The former Love Islander, 29, is said to have sparked up a romance with Too Hot To Handle star Kelechi Dyke [pictured], 31, with the pair having been on a few dates 'Netlix fans will know him from Too Hot To Handle as well, so he is well versed in reality TV. But the chemistry between him and Liv is genuine and they are really into each other.' The insider cryptically added: 'Watch this space.' MailOnline have contacted Olivia's representatives for comment. Olivia's romance news comes shortly after she was spotted locking lips with another Too Hot To Handle favourite and fellow Celebs Go Dating star Louis Russell during filming in Ibiza. The Love Island beauty and the hunk were just days into shooting the new series of the Channel 4 dating show last month - and it seemed sparks were already flying. The pair already had fans speculating about their relationship status after a flirty exchange on social media before heading out to the sun-soaked Spanish island. In photos obtained by The Sun, Olivia and Louis could be seen sharing a very steamy kiss during a lively pool party as they packed on the PDA. A show insider told the publication: 'It usually takes a few weeks for things to spice up but not with these two. 'Within 48 hours of arriving in Ibiza the sexual spark between them was obvious. 'They clearly couldn't resist each other,' they added. MailOnline contacted reps for Olivia and Louis for comment at the time. Olivia and Louis were said to have 'grown close' during filming of the E4 show, reportedly breaking show rules by being 'all over each other' in Ibiza. MailOnline understands the pair had become each other's love interests despite the premise of the series being for celebrities to date contestants who aren't famous. According to a TV source, Olivia, who starred on Love Island in 2023 before returning for the All Stars series earlier this year, has fallen for Louis, known for his appearances on Netflix's Too Hot to Handle. Olivia's last high profile romance was with Marcel Somerville, whom she split from in February just days after leaving the Love Island: All Stars villa. The pair, who were axed from the South Africa villa in a shock double dumping in January, have gone their separate ways and have decided to just stay friends after failing to find a romantic connection. A source confirmed to MailOnline: 'Liv and Marcel have made the decision to part ways. 'They've chosen to go in separate directions, but there's no hard feelings. 'While they do share some fond memories together from their short stint on Love Island, they've built a great bond but have decided they're better off as friends and are both looking forward to the next chapters in their lives.' Olivia, 29, and Marcel, 39, were votes the least compatible couple by viewers, after landing in the bottom with Ronnie Vint and Elma Pazar, and Nas Majeed and Catherine Agbaje earlier in the series.

The US-produced show, which streams on Peacock before airing here on ITV2, will film later this year and producers are keen to have Liv on it. A source said: 'They feel like she didn't get enough of a chance to shine on All Stars as she left the villa too early, but they believe she will go down a storm on The Games.

Celebs Go Dating's Olivia Hawkins puts on a leggy display in a black mini dress as she arrives at the agency with Mark Labbett and their co-stars
She's no stranger to turning heads with her glamorous looks. And Olivia Hawkins was at it again on Wednesday as she arrived at the Celebs Go Dating agency in London with her co-stars. The Love Island star, 29, stunned in a black mini dress, which featured a white high-neck collar and A-line skirt. She teamed the striking garment, that showed off her toned pins, with a pair of black strappy heels . The reality star toted her belongings in a black mini Chanel Vanity bag and accessorised with a gold Cartier Love bracelet. Olivia, who appeared in good spirits, styled her raven locks into soft curls and finished her look off with a radiant palette of makeup. The Love Island star, 29, was joined by her co-stars including Mark Labbett, who cut a dapper figure for the occasion Also spotted making their way to the agency was The Chase star Mark Labbett, who recently lost an incredible 10 stone. The TV personality, 59, stepped out in a burgundy blazer over a blue shirt and smart navy trousers. Too Hot To Handle icon Louis Russell cut a stylish figure as he arrived for filming in a white vest top and army print cargo pants. While Celebs Go Dating agent Anna Williamson wowed in a burgundy maxi dress as she joined dapper relationship coach Paul C. Brunson. Also seen arriving at the agency was sex expert Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, who put on a leggy display in a red suit dress which she paired with gold heels. The agency visit comes after Olivia was spotted locking lips with co-star Louis during filming in Ibiza. The Love Island beauty and Too Hot To Handle star were just days into shooting the new series of the Channel 4 dating show - and it seemed sparks were already flying.

MailOnline understands the pair have become each other's love interests despite the premise of the series being for celebrities to date contestants who aren't famous. According to a TV source, Olivia, who starred on Love Island in 2023 before returning for the All Stars series earlier this year, has fallen for Louis, known for his appearances on Netflix's Too Hot to Handle. They aren't the first couple to break the show's rules following Lottie Moss and Adam Collard, who briefly dated after being cast on the same season in 2023. Joey Essex also romanced The Hills' Stephanie Pratt after they met during filming and Made In Chelsea's Sophie Hermann hooked up with DJ Tom Zanetti. A TV insider told MailOnline: 'Olivia and Russell are all over each other. 'It's only been days since filming for Celebs Go Dating started in Ibiza but they're already so close. 'They are very much each other's types and the attraction was instant, it's just not ideal for producers. 'The show has become famous for celebrities hooking up instead of forming long-lasting relationships with the contestants, which is the whole point.' After starring on Too Hot to Handle, the Netflix show which challenges contestants who are afraid to commit in relationships to change their ways, on two separate occasions, Louis claims he's finally ready for a 'real partner.' He said of joining the dating show, which is overseen by relationship expert Paul C. Brunson and Anna Williamson: 'I'm really excited to join the agency... it feels like a fresh start for me in dating. I'm ready to move away from hookups and focus on finding a real partner.' Christine McGuinness was set to join the cast of the dating series, but she suddenly quit just days into filming in Ibiza after deciding it was 'too soon' after her divorce from ex-husband Paddy. Joining Olivia on the show will be former S Club 7 singer Jon Lee, and Kerry Katona, who previously featured on the show in 2019. Like Louis, Olivia has also struggled to find a partner despite two appearances on Love Island. The influencer, who says she has never had a boyfriend, dated former Blazin' Squad star Marcel Somerville during her appearance on the All Stars series but their romances was short-lived. She had a flirtatious connection with co-star Luca Bish but their attraction didn't lead to anything. In an interview with MailOnline before her stint on Love Island: All Stars, Olivia said: 'Since the show, my dating has actually got worse. 'I haven't been on many dates, I have focused on myself, and I have always been an independent person, for a long time and throughout my 20s but it's definitely the right time, I'm ready to settle down now. 'I do find it hard to let people in, it's hard to trust people but I am starting to let my walls down a bit, and I feel ready to start letting people in.'

They joined co-stars including Christine McGuinness and Kerry Katona at a pool party but had eyes, and lips, for only each other. A show insider said: 'It usually takes a few weeks for things to spice up but not with these two. 'Within 48 hours of arriving in Ibiza the sexual spark between them was obvious.

EMMERDALE'S KILLER PLOTLINE 9 Robert Sugden, played by Ryan Hawley, is rejoining ITV soap Emmerdale Credit: ITV 9 Robert Sugden (right) alongside his character's former husband Aaron Dingle (left), played by Danny Miller EMMERDALE is bringing back a major character for a shock return – and has gone to great lengths to keep their identity secret. But today I can exclusively reveal it is Robert Sugden — rejoining the ITV soap next month for a limited stint after sex years away. Actor Ryan Hawley, who has already filmed the scenes, returns as his character's former husband Aaron Dingle, played by Danny Miller, prepares to tie the knot with Robert's brother John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth). Fans know John is a secret killer, so that Aaron is now in serious danger from his twisted husband-to-be. A source said: 'It's the biggest secret in soapland but Robert is returning to Emmerdale. Ryan has a lot of respect for the show and its fans and really wanted to give them a treat so agreed to come back for a brief stint. Rob Sudgen gets angry as police say they've released Victoria's rapist on Emmerdale 'It's going to be a huge surprise for fans, who have missed Robert desperately since Ryan quit. 'Nothing was seen as being too extreme to keep the secret, with fake names on scripts, smuggling him into the studios and keeping everything very tight.' The Sun revealed in 2019 that Ryan had quit the show he first joined in 2014. He was written out in an explosive storyline that saw him accidentally kill Lee Posner (Kris Mochrie), who had raped Robert's sister Victoria (Isabel Hodgins). Robert hit Lee, played by Kristopher Ian Mochrie, with a shovel and he fell, smashing his head on a rock. Robert pleaded guilty to the attack and was sentenced to 14 years. But it later emerged that Lee's death could have been caused by a fight he had with his brother Luke (Max Parker) on the day of his death — leaving the door open for Robert's potential release.

I revealed earlier this year that the documentary was being made by Lion TV. Diddy, who goes on trial on Monday charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution, is the latest star to have his murky past probed by C4, with Russell Brand and Marilyn Manson also featured. But this doc may be the most shocking.

Blue Peter commissioning chief Sarah Muller said: 'The move to the new studio will provide creative locations and visual options that a whole new generation will love.' I bet legendary Blue Peter gardener Percy Thrower, would have been less than pleased were he still alive.
