Olivia Hawkins’ role in Fast X
The former Love Island star revealed about her blockbuster feature while chatting with a fellow former Islander Toby Aromolaran on his podcast - ‘Fancy AChat?’. Olivia confirmed that the scenes were filmed before she entered the villa. She revealed:
There's definitely things I've filmed before I went in that haven't come out yet.
I did a scene in the new Fast and Furious and we did a scene in Rio – in the party scene – so I don't know when that's coming out.

Ekin-Su’s golden words to Olivia
In more recent news, Love Island 2022 summer series’ winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu gave Winter Love Island’s most controversial contestant - Olivia Hawkins - the advice that would go a long way. After Olivia previously revealed she received death threats after leaving the villa, Ekin-Su advised her to ‘stay strong.’ She told OK! Magazine:
I hope Olivia is okay. She needs to remember who she is and stay strong.
Although Ekin-Su became a hit after Love Island, her Dancing On Ice stint was dealt with much criticism. Reflecting on her own experience, she said:
Because of my past and my childhood when I was really badly bullied, troll comments don't affect me in the slightest.
Yes, they're not nice to read but it doesn't really doesn't affect me.
The star hinted that Love Island and the fame that comes with it isn’t a piece of cake. The Turkish beauty warned anyone who’s not strong enough to deal with hate to ever appear on Love Island. She said:
I think you've got to have a thick skin to last in this industry. You shouldn't go on Love Island if you can't hack people criticising you, people not liking you, people talking behind your back - because it happens.
She added:
You can't please everyone. I could like chocolate cake but another person will like strawberry cake.
