Since finding fame on Love Island in 2017, Olivia Attwood has become quite the reality regular. As well as becoming a frequent face on TOWIE, the 29-year-old has landed her own ITVBe show Meets Her Match, which follows her and her fiancé, footballer Bradley Dack, 26, as they move into their new home and plan their wedding.

“This year’s going to be a year of juggling, still being a present part of TOWIE, but also pursuing my own projects,” Olivia says. “I’d like to always remain somewhat involved because I really love making the show. There are bad days because you have to film with people you don’t want to film with, but I’m getting to go to work and hang out with my friends.”

In fact, Liv has so many mates, including Love Island pal Amber Davies, that she’s struggling to pick her bridesmaids. “I keep going between [having bridesmaids] and not having a bridal party,” she says. “I’ve got such a big group of girlfriends, I know someone’s going to feel snubbed and I hate upsetting people. It’s stressing me out. I’m back and forth every day on it.”

Here, we chat about TOWIE ’s 10th anniversary celebrations, why she makes good TV and her plans for her upcoming nuptials…

It’s TOWIE ’s 10th anniversary. Which cast original would you like to magic back to film a scene?

I love Ferne [McCann] – she’s so hilarious and outspoken. We’re quite similar in that way. I know she wasn’t on it for very long, but I also loved Megan [McKenna] and Kirk [Norcross] was always entertaining.

If you’d been in the original line-up and single, who would have turned your head?
