Love Island’s back! We catch up with our fave girl from 2016’s epic series to chat all things weddings – and island fallouts

Olivia Buckland: Malin Andersson Isnt Invited to My Wedding!

It’s been a year since Olivia Buckland was runner-up on Love Island with other half Alex Bowen. Since then, they’ve proved their relationship was more than just a summer fling by moving in together, getting a dog… and getting engaged.

Olivia, 23, is now knee-deep in planning her wedding but when Now calls her for a chat – she’s currently in Spain with 25-year-old Alex shooting for her new swimwear range – she’s as chilled as ever. There’s no bridezilla in the building just yet.

Big-day plans aside, we wanted to find out what’s happening with Olivia’s ex-BFF Malin Andersson – who insists Liv has blocked her on Twitter…

Love Island is back on telly! Are you secretly jealous that you’re not on the show?

I’m a definitely a bit jealous but it’s really good to see it back on. It is a bit weird because it’s a totally different villa, it’s a new cast – a whole new show.

Have you been watching it with Alex?

Yeah! We have dinner and then we watch it together. We’re doing a bit of reporting on the show too, so we have to stay in touch with what’s happening.

How do you think this series is comparing to last year’s?

I’m still deciding who I like best – it constantly changes – but I think Kem [Cetinay] is so, so funny. It’s a totally different vibe from last year, isn’t it?

Would you like to do any more reality telly in future?

I would do it if I was asked but it’s not my main ambition. I’m loving designing swimwear at the moment – I love feeling creative, so that’s what I want to focus on.

What would you do if Alex got asked to go on a reality TV show without you?
