Olivia Attwood Opens Up About Fame's Impact on Her Family as She Prepares for Major ITV Role

Olivia Attwood, the newest star presenter on ITV, is already facing the challenges of fame, and it's affecting her family in unexpected ways. The 33-year-old Love Island alum, who is being touted as the next Holly Willoughby, recently revealed to MailOnline that her mother, Jenny, is struggling with the newfound attention.

"My mum's like, 'I can't even go to the village shop without being recognised now,' and I'm like, 'You love it, don't lie,'" Olivia shared. She acknowledged the adjustment fame requires not just for herself but for her entire family, noting that they are all learning to navigate this new reality together.

Since gaining fame on Love Island in 2017, Olivia has quickly become one of the most successful contestants from the show. She has hosted four documentaries for ITV and is set to host her own dating show, Bad Boyfriends, this autumn, which is expected to further elevate her profile.

Olivia's father, Kai, has mostly stayed out of the spotlight, with his known interests lying in vintage and luxury cars. Her mother, Jenny, however, has made several appearances in Olivia's documentaries and on her podcast, So Wrong, It's Right. While the Attwood family enjoys a quiet life in their Cheshire mansion, Olivia's sister Georgia maintains a low profile as a part-time model and executive research consultant. Olivia rarely shares photos of her sister due to Georgia's preference for privacy, though she did share a few from Georgia's hen-do in Saint Tropez last year.

Olivia reflected on the sudden change in her life and its impact on her loved ones. "Being thrust into the spotlight off the back of Love Island is a big adjustment not just for you but for everyone around you because it happens instantly," she explained. "It's not just for me but for my parents and siblings, and I try to be respectful of that. I'm very appreciative of them being supportive of me."

Olivia's husband, Bradley Dack, whom she married in June, is also accustomed to public attention due to his career as a professional footballer. Currently a free agent after being released by Sunderland, Bradley is reportedly ready to start a family. However, Olivia plans to focus on her career for the time being. "For women, it's a big change in pace, and as a society, we try to minimise that. His life won't really change much, let's be honest," she said.

Despite the challenges, Olivia and Bradley's relationship continues to thrive. After receiving numerous fan requests, Bradley recently appeared on Olivia's podcast, where she noted the positive reception from listeners. "I had hundreds of messages saying how lovely it was that we as a 'celebrity'—I hate that word—couple were talking like that," Olivia said. "Listeners were like, 'Please never change, never become filtered.' I think there is value in being honest and organic with people. I don’t ever want to lose that."

Olivia's commitment to authenticity was on display during the launch of Three UK's Mind, Body & Scroll campaign, where she unveiled the world's first social fitness hub in The Outernet, London. The initiative aims to foster a sense of togetherness and belonging online. Olivia expressed her enthusiasm for the project, stating, "It felt like a very natural fit for me to do this. I want to help people learn how to communicate because when I'm talking, I'm very uninhibited, very unfiltered, and I would say that's half the reason why everything has worked out the way it has for me."

As Olivia Attwood continues to rise in fame with her new ITV gig, she remains grounded and dedicated to her personal values, even as her family adjusts to the spotlight.
