Olivia Hawkins has been left heartbroken over the death of a beloved family member. 

The former Love Island contestant, 28, announced the sad death of her Nannie on Monday. 

Paying tribute in a post to her Instagram Story, Olivia shared a childhood photo of them together. 

Olivia could be seen with wearing a sweet red dress as she brushed her grandparents hair while smiling for the snap.  

Alongside the update she wrote: '1934-2023 Love You Nannie.'

It comes after Olivia revealed some of Love Island's secrets - including a secret room in the villa.

The actress, appeared on the ITV2's 2023 winter series earlier this year and found romance with Maxwell Samuda before splitting shortly after the series finished.

Olivia recently told The Sun: 'There is a room you don't see called the 'Zoom Room'. It's where you can go and speak to a member of the welfare team on Zoom. 

'You can go there and chat to them whenever you want off camera, and it's great to have it.'

Former islanders such as Liam Reardon and Amy Hart described the welfare team as 'supportive and helpful' and enjoyed taking a break from the villa life.

The influencer went on to discuss the behind-the-scenes chaos that regularly unfolded during the famous recoupling ceremonies that also didn't make it to air.

She explained: 'When we were filming in South Africa, it was really windy, so everything would be flying everywhere.'

'We would be filming the recouplings around the firepit and the producers would be having to run in and rearrange all the pillows on the sofa and everything because it was all being blown away. The public wasn't able to see any of that!'

Several viewers picked up on the blustering winds around the villa which can be heard during contestants outdoor chats.

Olivia also added that the production team never interfere or try to steer islanders' conversations.

The brunette beauty confirmed she is still single and looking for love but jokingly added that her phone is 'so dry'.
