Olivia Attwood The Price of Perfection has returned for a brand new season

Former Love Island star Olivia Attwood has been left horrified after a worrying health discovery when travelling the world.

Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection is a documentary series following the reality TV star who explores the UK’s obsession with cosmetic treatments, beauty standards and body modifications.

It has since returned to ITV2 for its third series, with brand new episodes being released every Tuesday at 9pm. Episodes are also available to stream on ITVX, with a new instalment dropping today (September 1).

Tonight’s episode marks the fifth in the series and follows Olivia as she travels to Seoul, South Korea as she joins those who are drawn to the K-beauty standards. K (Korean) beauty is a term for skincare, cosmetics, and beauty practices that originate from South Korea, which includes treatments that Olivia dubs “out of this world“.

The former Love Island star is also seen getting treatment herself, but it wasn’t long before she was horrified by what she saw. Just minutes in tonight’s episode, Olivia is seen getting a scalp analysis, showing what her scalp looks like up close. However, she was unimpressed by what she saw.

After seeing her hair follicles on screen, the star squealed in disgust as she said: “Ew. That is minging.” Covering her face with her hands, Olivia then heard a breakdown of what was seen on screen.

Describing her “thin hair”, Olivia was told she has “hair loss” issues meaning if left, things could become worse. She asked: “So my hair is going to fall out?” before looking at the camera in shock.

Seung Pyo, global manager, told the star she needed more nutrients for her hair to grow thicker and healthier. Olivia replied: “Yeah, I need help. Clearly. I am so ready, I’ve never been more ready for anything in my life.”

Getting her treatment, Olivia is then seen chatting to Brits who have lived in South Korea for five years as they opened up on the beauty treatments available.

Later in the episode, the star was seen “recovering from another surprise” after she was informed of excess body fat and other treatments on offer.

Season 3 of The Price of Perfection is now streaming on ITVX, and the just-aired fifth episode explores the cosmetic treatments that even celebrities have received. A synopsis for the instalment teases: “Olivia travels to Seoul, South Korea – the home of K-Beauty. She joins Brits who are drawn to their beauty standards, and gets treatments herself.”

However, ITVX issued strong guidance alongside the episode which reads: “With strong language from the start and graphic scenes of surgery.”

The latest episode of Olivia Atwood’s The Price of Perfection took an unexpected turn

The ITV presenter caught a mystery man’s eye.

Olivia Attwood briefly paused her ITV2 show, The Price of Perfection, to address a flirty encounter. The former Love Island star, 35, returned with the latest episode of her hit show on Tuesday (August 18) night.

This instalment focused on all things face lifts, and followed Olivia as she journeyed around London trying to uncover what treatments are available for young women looking to transform their faces.

But the presenter was interrupted when she visited a clinic where one surgeon was performing a full face and neck lift.

As she explained the procedure to the camera, a man with his face blurred walked by and seemingly shot a flirtatious look at Olivia.

Spotting his lingering look, the ITV host turned back to the camera and joked: “In your dreams, do you know what I mean?”.

She went on to add: “That’s honestly what it’s been like since I took my wedding ring off. It’s actually, it’s just like let me [live].”

The former TOWIE cast member was married to footballer Bradley Dack for just over two years, before they called it quits in January.

She has since found romance with fellow reality star Pete Wicks, with the pair publicly launching their relationship back in July.

Season 3 of The Price of Perfection is now streaming on ITVX, and the just-aired third episode features a cameo from TOWIE star Dani Imbert.

A synopsis for the instalment teases: “With so many techniques and brands offering to slice and sculpt our face, Olivia looks at the options the under fifties are looking at.

“At just 28, TOWIE’s Dani Imbert has a brow lift but is left unhappy with the results. Newly single Sophie tries a thread lift for a ‘snatched’ look. Amy, exhausted by the cost of facial maintenance having spent £150,000 on fillers, opts for a short scar mini facelift, a procedure with mixed online reviews.

“Olivia also joins a surgeon performing a full face and neck lift on business owner Brit, learning the real differences between SMAS and deep plane approaches, and what may have delivered Kris Jenner’s headline grabbing result.”
