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 2020, the reality TV veteran began starring in her own reality series on ITVBe titled Olivia Meets Her Match, which followed her wedding preparations with footballer Bradley Dack. 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:

eBay delivers strong Q2 2025 financial performance, beating expectations
E-commerce company eBay has reported a robust second quarter (Q2) of 2025, surpassing both consensus forecasts and the upper limits of its own financial projections across all major metrics. In Q2, which ended on 30 June 2025, revenue was $2.7bn, a 6% rise on an as-reported basis and a 4% increase on a foreign exchange (FX)-neutral basis. It posted a gross merchandise volume (GMV) growth of 4% to $19.5bn. The company's generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net income from continuing operations stood at $369m, translating to $0.79 per diluted share, while non-GAAP net income from continuing operations reached $643m, or $1.37 per diluted share. eBay CEO Jamie Iannone stated: "eBay delivered another strong quarter, with results exceeding expectations across the board. "Our momentum reflects the strength of our strategic execution and the resilience of our marketplace. We remain focused on driving long-term growth and creating lasting value for our shareholders." eBay introduced several innovations and collaborations in Q2. eBay Live was launched in the UK and the US, offering livestream shopping and collector-focused experiences. An AI shopping agent was announced to provide hyper-personalised product recommendations to a select group of US customers. eBay also unveiled a generative AI video tool for US sellers, aimed at enhancing social media reach. eBay's authenticity guarantee programme surpassed one million inspected items in a quarter. eBay chief financial officer Peggy Alford stated: "With a strong balance sheet, focused strategic priorities and a world-class team, we are well positioned to thrive in our next phase of growth. I'm committed to driving operational excellence and disciplined capital allocation to support our long-term ambitions and unlock meaningful value for our shareholders." eBay has provided guidance for Q3 2025, with revenue expected to be between $2.69bn and $2.74bn, 3% to 5% FX-neutral year-on-year growth and GMV between $19.2bn and $19.6bn. Foreign exchange is expected to provide a boost of 1.2 percentage points to reported revenue growth based on prevailing rates. Current exchange rates suggest that foreign exchange could contribute 1.7 percentage points to GMV growth. The company's guidance takes into account potential disruptions from new tariffs and the possible removal of de minimis exemptions in various trade routes.
