Former Love Island favourite Olivia Attwood has hit back at rumours suggesting there’s trouble brewing on the Loose Women panel.

The allegations, which surfaced last month, painted Olivia, 33, as a “diva” for reportedly bringing her personal “glam squad” to the set, rather than opting for ITV’s in-house styling team. A source told OK! magazine that the reality TV sensation was stunned by the rumours, prompting Olivia to now clear the air herself.

Speaking on her So Wrong It’s Right podcast, she refuted any bad blood with the Loose Women team, saying: “There is no shade at Loose Women, not that I am involved in any way.”

She went on to confront the narrative that her choice of glam team had ruffled feathers at the show, saying: “It is just not true. If it is true and they are all just doing a really good job of like lying to me, it makes no sense because I am paying my own team to come in, which means the other women get more time in the glam room, so it would make no sense to have an issue with me having my one glam team.

“Plus, quite a few of the women do have their own teams. I’ve been reassured by all the other women they do not care. It is not something they think about or they talk about.

“If there was tea, if there was shade, 100% you would know, because I just actually cannot help myself.”

Another Loose Women panellist, Kaye Adams, recently responded tot he allegations, telling Emily Dean on her Walking The Dog podcast: “We have never, ever, fallen out about make-up artists… or wardrobe… or dressing rooms..

“We probably do have fall-outs on particular issues, but we do not have fallouts on, you know, wardrobe, make-up, boyfriends – you know, all of those tropes that just get rolled out constantly.”

She also highlighted the unequal media treatment compared to their male peers and speculated on the dynamic behind the curtain at programmes like Match Of The Day.

With a touch of humour, she quipped: “I don’t know, maybe Alan Shearer hates Gary Lineker’s guts. He’s gone, hasn’t he?”

Since August 2023, Olivia has been a regular face on Loose Women, and Kaye noted her “lot younger” age difference with the rest of the women, enjoying the rapport she has with her co-stars.

Olivia herself spoke positively about joining the team, commenting previously: “I get on with all of them really well, and some of them in particular I’ve become really friendly with. You never know what it’s going to be like joining a new workplace, it’s like being the new kid on the block.”
