Love Island's Olivia Hawkins dating hunky boxer and Netflix star
After a stint on Love Island All Stars last year, Olivia Hawkins is now in the throes of a new romance Love Island star Olivia Hawkins is has got a new flame, and her beau will be a familiar face to viewers who love binge watching Netflix reality TV. The brunette beauty, 29, who recently appeared on Love Island : All Stars, has been spotted getting close to professional boxer and Too Hot To Handle star Kelechi 'Kelz' Dyke, 31. Sources say sparks have been flying between the pair during filming for the latest series of Celebs Go Dating, where Liv was originally linked to co-star Louis Russell. Things appear to have taken a romantic turn with Kelz, and it looks like it's more than just a showmance. A source told The Sun: "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. "Netflix 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. Watch this space." Despite the budding romance, Liv may be jetting off to Fiji soon, as she's reportedly in talks to appear on Love Island Games. The US-based spin-off is filmed for Peacock and then airs later on ITV2 in the UK. It would mark Liv's third stint on the hit dating franchise, after she failed to find lasting love during both her original appearance and All Stars. On All Stars she briefly coupled up with Love Island alumni Marcel Somerville. But the pair were dumped from the villa on Day 10 after being voted the least compatible by viewers. Not long after, they confirmed they'd split, but said they still speak regularly as friends. Producers now feel Liv deserves another shot at love, and more time on screen. A source told The Sun: "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. "She is currently still filming Celebs Go Dating for E4, but if talks continue to go well, she could be winging her way to Fiji soon afterwards." Liv made headlines earlier this year when she became embroiled in the leaked messages saga during All Stars. While helping with an eviction, she claimed fellow islander Grace Jackson had texted saying she would do anything to win the show. Grace hit back, calling the accusations false and demanding to see proof. Liv later tearfully defended her actions on the SnatchedByWill podcast, saying producers encouraged her to share what she'd seen. She said: "I said this piece of information to producers, and they wanted me to, you know, say what I've seen. "What I will say is, do people really think I would go on national television and lie about something so serious as that?"

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.
