Olivia Bowen (née Buckland) was already one of our favourite Love Islanders of all time. She came runner-up on series 2 of the show with Alex Bowen back in 2016 and since then the couple have gone from strength to strength, tying the knot in September 2018 and defying the odds by keeping their love alive long after the cameras stopped rolling.

Now, Olivia has proven once again that she’s not just a pretty face as she’s announced the beautiful decision to have all of the profits from her new In The Style clothing edit donated to Age UK amidst the growing coronavirus crisis. The charity is focused on supporting elderly people across the UK.
Olivia announced the news via an Instagram text post which was also shared by In The Style.
It read: ‘In light of the evolving global situation surrounding COVID-19 and in response to Age UK's call to the government today for further support, In The Style pledges to donate 100% of all profits from In The Style X Olivia Bowen sales to Age UK’.
Whilst Olivia shared the post with a simple heart emoji, her comments section was flooded with praise from friends and fans alike. One fan wrote:
‘Amazing 💗💙 I work for age uk so see first hand the support they offer the most vulnerable xxx’ whilst another said: ‘This is absolutely incredible and so kind of you all’.
Olivia previously expressed her excitement about the launch of her colourful new collection, writing:
‘There’s a lot going on right now & I know this doesn’t fix that, but I am hoping this will at least brighten our days with a ton of gorgeous shapes, a lot of pretty patterns & endless self love. I’ve been so excited to tell you all so I hope this makes you as happy as it’s made me! I love you all & your support is everything to me.’
