Olivia Hawkins, the star of Love Island’s winter 2023 season, has given her opinion on the show’s summer 2023 season, admitting she has been “on the edge of her seat.”
Former Love Island bombshell Olivia Hawkins, who made her mark on the winter 2023 series, has given her verdict on this year’s whirlwind of a season – and she’s not holding back.
Olivia didn’t mince her words when asked about the current finalists, saying: “I think it’s been one of the most dramatic Love Island seasons I’ve ever watched. I’ve been on the edge of my seat, that’s for sure, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it.”
“It’s just a shame that there’s no couple in the final that I think will last on the outside.” It comes after David Beckham ditches his iconic tiny trunks on yacht trip with Gordon Ramsay’s family .

Reacting to the previous night’s dumping, Olivia, speaking exclusively in association with Mecca Bingo, Olivia reflected on a summer packed with shocks, twists, and a finale that left fans split and admitted she felt conflicted by the outcome.
“Yes and no, I was completely divided.” Some of their decisions made by me, but I disagreed with some of their reasoning. The only boyfriend and girlfriend couple in that situation will need to disprove everyone on the inside, I don’t know how. I’m hoping so.
Olivia also defended Megan and Dejon, whose relationship has sparked fierce debate online.
“It was really 50/50. The people who bonded with Megan and Dejon clearly saw their relationship. Yes, they argue, but do not all couples? The other couples aren’t arguing, so they’re not incompatible.
After returning for All Stars earlier this year, Olivia has firmly ruled out another appearance. “It’s a big no. I feel like I’ve done dating shows now and want to move on to the next thing. But I’ll definitely still tune in.”
In 2026, it has been confirmed that All Stars will return to ITV2 and ITVX. The 12th series finale was dubbed “TV gold” by fans who hailed it as “immature” with its summer of jaw-dropping twists and turns.
Her love life is also heading in a new direction. “It’s good. I’ve got Celebs Go Dating coming out a week today, so people will get an update on how it’s going. I can’t give too much away, but I’m in a very happy place.”
When it comes to keeping the show fresh, Olivia believes it’s time for some tweaks. “I liked that there were a lot of bombshells this season; it kept people guessing, but I think the format needs some changes. Maybe they could take inspiration from the USA version.”
And there’s one challenge in particular she’s keen to bring back. “More challenges would help. I miss the Twitter challenge, even though I hate Twitter. It’s so toxic, but I loved that challenge. Bringing it back might not be great for Islanders’ mental health, though.”
As the 12th series comes to an end, viewers will see either Toni and Cach, Yasmin and Jamie, Shakira and Harry or Ty and Angel win the show.
