Love Island’s Olivia dons a pink thigh-split dress as she makes red carpet debut with Maxwell

Love Island’s Olivia Hawkins and Maxwell Samuda made their red carpet debut at the John Wick: Chapter 4 premiere on Monday after returning to the UK.

The ring girl, 27, was given the boot from the show last week along with her finance student boyfriend, 23, with the pair confirming they were an exclusive couple during Sunday’s Aftersun spin-off show.

Olivia flashed her legs in a pink thigh-split dress while adding inches to her enviable frame with a pair of transparent heels.

Maxwell cut a suave figure in a grey double-breasted suit, which he teamed up with a white roll neck sweater and matching trainers.

The pair put on a loved-up display as they posed together for photographers before making their way inside the Cineworld Leicester Square in London.

It comes after Olivia hit out at viewer claims she was a villain in the villa, insisting she’s a ‘lovely person’ with a ‘big heart’.

Actress Olivia had a rocky ride in the villa, with the television personality fuming after Kai Fagan, 24, got together with Casa Amor arrival Sanam Harrinanan, also 24, even though Olivia had partnered up with Maxwell.

And, after Casa Amor, some fans accused the girls of hypocrisy for celebrating their ‘sisterhood’ but misbehaving in the same way as the men, prompting Olivia to speak out now she’s back in the UK.

She told The Sun this week: ‘It was never about the girls bashing the boys. I had many times when I was in tears that wasn’t shown on TV. There were real emotions.

‘Maybe it was a case of big personalities clashing, it was so intense and arguments are inevitable when we were in a confined space together 24 hours a day.

‘But it was definitely not a case of toxic femininity. When people meet me they will see the real me, I’m definitely not a villain.’

She said she’s looking forward to people seeing her ‘fun side’ and ‘big heart’ now she’s out of the villa, adding: ‘I’m a genuinely lovely person.’

Olivia along with Tanya Manhenga, 22, and Australian Jessie Wynter, 26, were widely considered the ringleaders in the villa as fans branded their behaviour toxic.

Last month saw emotional scenes after the Casa Amor stunt, in which men and women are split up, some being put in another villa and all introduced to new singletons.

Contestant Shaq Muhammad was left in tears after his on-screen partner Tanya Manhenga went off with another competitor, Martin Akinola. Mr Muhammad was devastated and had to be consoled by contestant Tom Clare.

Ms Manhenga then humiliated Mr Akinola when she led him to believe he stood a chance, only to then publicly profess her love for Mr Muhammad.

Meanwhile, farmer Will Young burst into tears after the women jumped to the defence of Jessie Wynter when he kissed another cast member while in Casa Amor. But none of the women condemned Ms Manhenga.

Olivia Hawkins also rounded on contestant Ron Hall for criticising her, despite footage of her making derogatory remarks about other couples, none of which was challenged by the other women.

In addition, Mr Hall was ridiculed and made to feel he was in the wrong for appearing to encourage his fellow male contestants to give new arrivals in Casa Amor a chance.

Yet the women, led by Ms Wynter, were shown to have done the exact same thing in the villa.

This year’s female line-up has been branded the most ‘manipulative and toxic’ in the history of the show. One male viewer said: ‘I’ve never complained to Ofcom but I have tonight. Emotional abuse and bullying isn’t a joke – Tanya and Olivia need talking to.’

A female viewer wrote on Twitter: ‘I never thought I’d be siding with the men. Some of these women are toxic,’ while another tweeted: ‘Toxic femininity at its finest.’

Olivia was also criticised for her reaction to Kai recoupling with Sanam after Casa Amor despite her choosing to pair up with Maxwell.

Returning to the main villa, she gave Kai a piece of her mind, and said: ‘It’s very telling, it’s very telling. I can’t say I’m shocked.

‘Missing me already? Clearly not enough, his loss, my gain.’ 

However, she finally admitted her response to Kai’s recoupling was unjustified and explained her antics on Sunday night’s Aftersun.

Speaking on Aftersun with Maxwell in their first interview after the couple were axed, she said: ‘Let me just say, I’ve watched that clip back and I put my hands up: I’m such a hypocrite.

‘In the moment it’s so intense. Emotions are high. There were real feelings there.

‘So when I walked through those doors I was so nervous to come back with Maxwell. I’m just happy that me and Kai have sorted it all out.’

She also spilled the gossip to Maya Jama after the explosive Movie Night, which saw her true colours revealed.

Footage of her film Liv Actually showed her forgetting Kai’s name and badmouthing the girls, which left the fellow Islanders shocked.

She said: ‘Early days. I forgot his name, Kai. No, because it’s like new scenery.’

Other comments included telling Max that Claudia had forgiven Casey too quickly for kissing other girls during Casa Amor.

But a determined Olivia remained completely unbothered and reacted to the videos at the time by telling the others: ‘No, because it’s nothing I wouldn’t say.

‘If you’ve got any questions, come to me after.’

People were confused as to why her badmouthing was not discussed during the show but she revealed on Aftersun that she had already spoken to her co-stars before Movie Night happened.

She said: ‘On Movie Night, none of the girls reacted because I told them previously that day that I thought they forgave the boys way too quickly. I wouldn’t do anything differently.

‘I feel like I stayed true to myself all the way through.’

However, Olivia is in a much better place now with Maxwell having returned to Britain.

The couple was spotted out at the John Wick: Chapter 4 premiere at the Cineworld Leicester Square in London on Monday.

She was seen walking hand-in-hand with Maxwell who looked handsome in a light grey suit which he wore with a white turtle neck top. 

Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX on Tuesday at 9pm.
