Olivia Attwood unrecognisable as she shares throwback pic before Love Island days

Olivia Attwood looks completely different in a series of throwback snaps she's shared to her Instagram story.

The former Love Island star took to her social media page to wish one of her friends of 20 years a happy birthday alongside multiple funny photos and videos.

The majority of the posts show Olivia before she found fame on Love Island, with one photo showing the best friends side by side in matching black bodycon dresses and bleach blonde hair.

Another one shows the pair with their arms round a statue and Olivia sticking her tongue out for the camera.

Olivia shot to fame following her stint on the hit dating show Love Island and her most recent project has been competing in ITV's The Games.

The Olympic-style show put 12 celebrities to the test to compete against each other in a series of sports such as diving and javelin.

In order to get in the best shape and mindset for the programme, Olivia decided to ditch the booze ahead of filming.

Olivia injured herself through the programme, hurting her shoulder during training which meant she had to be given the go-ahead by doctors.

The star has been planning her wedding to fiancé Bradley Dack, after having to push the big day back twice due to Covid restrictions and footballer Bradley being injured.

But the pair have still has plenty to get on with as they've been renovating their new home which has been documented on their series Olivia Meets Her Match.

The couple got engaged back in 2019 but Olivia admitted she doesn't mind that the wedding has been pushed back to 2023.

She said it means they can take more time with planning as well as not having to rush into having a family.

Olivia told the MailOnline : "I'm not in any hurry to have children. They don't interest me, they don't entertain me, I find them really boring so if I have another year to say, 'Oh sorry, we're not having kids because we're not married,' even though once we are married, I'll still be like umm... We're not in any hurry as a couple, he's not going anywhere, and I'm not going anywhere."

She recently revealed that she'd want to tie the knot in Las Vegas but Bradley would prefer a traditional ceremony.

In a recent Instagram Q&A Olivia was asked how the wedding planning was going when she said: "Omg this question. Just because it's so much. We are booked for June 2023. I want to elope and get married in Vegas, Brad doesn't want to."

"He wants to have the traditional wedding. He thinks I will regret it in the future, which maybe I would."

She added: "I’m just not really a wedding girl. I never dreamt about getting married when I was younger.

"I dreamt of getting the engagement ring and running away! Joke lol! But anyway, yeah, I have my dress, we have the venue, we have the best wedding planner in the whole world."
