Olivia Attwood branded her relationship with Chris Hughes toxic and argumentative as she revealed he drove her back into the arms of her ex.
She said that the "toxic" relationship between the two, who met on the third season of the popular dating show, was "all consuming" and led her back to a relationship with Bradley Dack.
Speaking to MailOnline, the 30-year-old star confessed that her and Chris, 28, "argued constantly".
The pair left the Love Island villa in 2017, and Olivia decided to end her relationship with Chris and rekindle her romance with her ex-boyfriend Bradley, 27, who she had split with just before joining Love Island.
The pair quickly sparked their relationship back up, with Olivia reflecting on how "mad" their journey had been.
She told the publication that she thought "that was it" when she entered the villa, citing that she was "so done with him".
Olivia says it was her "all-consuming" relationship with Chris that pushed her back to Bradley.
She said: "Sometimes that's what happens and it pushes you back to your ex. After that we needed a good year to find our footing as a couple again. I still wasn't sure.
"It was toxic with Chris and we argued a lot. I never had that problem with Brad, we never argued."
She went onto explain that she was "incompatible" with Chris, once the pair had left the villa they found that things were "very different in the real world".
It was that shift in environment that made Olivia realise that their relationship wasn't to last.
Olivia reunited with Bradley and the loved-up couple then got engaged in 2019.
The star hopes to get married next month, saying: "We are still aiming for the wedding to be this summer in June when all the restrictions hopefully end. I would love to still get married this summer. We want to carry on as we planned."
