Love Island legend Olivia Attwood reveals what she really thinks about Joey Essex and the dating show signing celebrity contestants after TOWIE star sparks furious backlash


Olivia Attwood has backed Love Island bosses signing celebrity contestants and says Joey Essex shouldn't be cancelled for his recent appearance on the show.

She believes Joey's career won't be affected long-term by the current backlash after he was furiously called out by viewers for his unfair treatment of ex-girlfriend Grace Jackson and argumentative reaction towards his fellow Islanders. The absence of social media posts didn't go unnoticed by Olivia's 2.2million Instagram followers, who were keen to know whether the newly married pair, who tied the knot in June last year, were still in a happy place. To give users the optimum experience when using their mobile phones, Three UK are hosting a pop-up event on August 7 and 8 at The Outernet, where leading experts such as Keith Broni, Editor-in-Chief of Emojipedia, will be conducting talks including an Emoji-Press class.
