Former Love Island star Olivia is across the pond to celebrate the launch of her collaboration with high street brand River Island.
Dressed in a satin mini skirt with a lace trim and knee-high boots, Olivia looked stunning for the night out.
She posed for a slew of snaps before hitting the town.
Olivia and the group were then filmed throughout the night as they hit the city’s clubs and let loose.
Sipping on cocktails and wine, the video showed the group as they danced together and even cheekily lifted up their tops and skirts – covering themselves with emojis.
Confirming that the girls had quite the time, Toni commented on the post: “downhill for sure”.
“A time was had,” said Sophie Piper.
The hangover seemed to hit hard too, as Olivia joked this morning that she was “hanging on by a thread”.
Olivia is yet to divulge exactly what went on between them.
However, she did say that she would speak about her marriage breakdown when the time is right – insisting she had a “lot to process”.
The couple wed in 2023, four years after getting engaged.

Maura used the bubbles to cover her modesty as she enjoyed a relaxing soak.
Meanwhile, her crew were seen frantically searching a pub for her as one member screams: “Did you lose Maura?”
The video then cuts back to Maura who admits there’s nothing better than an “Irish exit”, which is the act of leaving a party or social gathering quietly without telling the host or saying goodbye to anyone at the event.
Looking seductively at the camera, Maura said: “There’s nothing better than a successful Irish exit.
The TV star posed up a storm in her corset style dress at the party to celebrate theOscars, which take place tomorrow.
Last night’s party is just the latest in a string of glitzy bashes that the Love Island star has been attending as she continues her US domination tour.
Maura was recently asked about their relationship when she appeared on US talk show Watch What Happens Live recently.
Host Andy Cohen told her: “The internet wants you and Rob to get together.”
Speaking about her close friendship with RHOBH star Lisa, she told Andy: “Lisa helped majorly, majorly.”
Maura added: “Lisa, thank you very much for this!”
Meanwhile, further proof that Maura has cracked the USA, something that British reality stars have found hard to do, is that she has been signed to the top-tier agency Align PR.
Their client roster includes A-list stars like Madonna, 67, Matthew McConaughey, 56, and Bryce Dallas Howard, 45.
Maura has also proved herself to be popular with Hollywood stars.

Amber Davies has broken her silence on her alleged feud with her Legally Blonde co-star Hannah Lowther. The former Love Island star has been forced to pull out of her starring role as Elle Woods.
Giving an update to fans about her ill health, she wrote on Instagram earlier today: “Ok update: after talking to my DR, being on antibiotics and trying to recover whilst doing shows is getting me and my health NOWHERE. Been working on this lingering illness for a month now so I’ll be off again from my beautiful Elle Woods.
“This is the last thing I want but there’s no other way. I fear if I keep “pushing through” I will be battling with this for longer than I need to be. I can’t wait to be back on stage and feel like me again!!!”
However, there have been rumours about a feud between Amber and her co-star Hannah Lowther. Hannah found fame on TikTok in the pandemic and is a successful musical theatre star.
Insiders have said to the Daily Mail that “tension” had developed backstage after audiences seemed to be preferring Hannah’s portrayal of Elle over Amber’s. A source said: “When Hannah goes on, the energy is completely different.
“She gives it ten times more energy than Amber ever has, and just has that sparkle that Amber lacks. Everyone backstage is professional, but it would be fair to say the atmosphere between the two girls can be a bit tense at times.”
Now, Amber has appeared to address the feud head on. Taking to Instagram to comment on Hannah taking on the role, she also shared a personal message to Hannah, writing: “An extra special appreciate message to @hannahlowther who has given me all the grace and space to be poorly and recover. The show is in safe hands ALWAYS.”
Amber previously spoke out to defend herself, given her hectic schedule in the recent months. She added: “Also I keep having to remind myself I went from Gatsby, to a last min Strictly, then to Elle so my body’s evidently fighting for its life.
“I also keep reminding myself that it’s ok to be poorly, we are human. Just a reminder there’s absolutely never a right time to be poorly in a musical theatre schedule so you must, for your own sanity, go with the flow!”
At the time of writing, Hannah has not responded to the post but confirmed she would be playing Elle this evening.
Last week millions of viewers watched the Love Island 2019 contestant make it to the final as a Faithful before the grand finale next week.

The show may not have aired in the UK yet, but Maura’s sharp sense of humour has already made her a fan favourite in the States.
It was that same quick wit that made her hugely popular on Love Island, before she won over viewers again during her stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
After filming wrapped on the US series at Ardross Castle in Scotland last June, Maura walked away feeling confident she had smashed it, according to pals.
Traitors US began on January 8 and attracted 638 million viewing minutes which proved a streaming record for the show, now on its fourth series.
Maura was asked about their relationship when she appeared on US talk show Watch What Happens Live recently.
Host Andy Cohen told her: “The internet wants you and Rob to get together.”
Rob certainly showed his appreciation for the Irish star by gifting her a £17,000 Hermès Birkin bag.
A credit to her rising popularity, Maura has now signed up with top-tier agency Align PR, whose clients include Madonna and Hollywood stars Matthew McConaughey and Bryce Dallas Howard.
In March last year, the star revealed that she had been invited to lunch with Margot Robbie.
The actress is a huge Love Island fan and previously described Maura as one of her favourite contestants.
Maura wrote on Instagram: “When Margot Robbie invites you to lunch . . . you go.”
TIKTOK may be a breeding ground for influencers, Love Island stars and budding celebs, but it’s not just glitz and glamour that can bring in the cash on the streaming app.
In fact, some of the top-earning creators have very unlikely niches.
Here, we take a look at some of the biggest money-makers making bank from seemingly mundane activities.

Last summer, she partnered with car brand Dacia to serve chips on the beach in Deal.
While she was also named one of the “icons of the year” by confectionary brand Quality Street in December.

Bus Aunty Bemi
Bemi Orojuogun is known to her over 400,000 TikTok followers as “Bus Aunty”.
She became famous for filming selfie videos in front of London’s red buses.
Bemi simply goes around the capital and films herself in front of different buses, with her videos racking up millions of views.
Working as a mental health nurse by day, Bemi’s catapult to fame was completely unexpected – with the online sensation shocked by her own prominence.
Meeting the Prime Minister on a bus in Norfolk, Bemi urged him to look at making public transport across the UK more accessible as she pointed out that not everywhere has such constant travel options like London’s TFL.
After he laid out the government’s plan to improve transport nationwide, Bemi was lauded as a “real role model” by fans.
Weeks later, she was invited to 10 Downing Street for the Pride in Place reception, an event which celebrated millions of pounds of investment into our local communities.

MOLLY-MAE Hague has faced backlash over her Maebe fashion event as an influencer called out a “disturbing” detail.

However, after visiting the pop up during an influencer event prior to it being open to the public today, TikTok star Nas Ganev has claimed there was a lack of diversity in the room when he was there.
He posted a video of himself at the event and alleged: “You should avoid maybe village and here’s why. I went today and although it’s so pretty inside,
“I saw something very disturbing. There were only white women in the room. There was no diversity at all.
“And in a city like London that immediately stood out to me. Walking to a place that’s meant to celebrate women and seeing a room that looks like that felt really uncomfortable.
“If you booked your tickets because of me, I’d recommend cancelling them. Follow for more London pop-ups.”
The experience is available from 9am to 7pm today and is a ticketed event, with tickets having gone on sale on Thursday 26 February.
Contrary to the claims, the Maebe Instagram account have been posting attendees on their stories and they appear to be from all diverse walks of life.
The Sun contacted Molly-Mae’s representative but they declined to comment.
The mum-of-one and her team previously teased of the experience: “An immersive experience of shopping, coffee, food and wine, celebrating the women who shape Maebe in honour of International Women’s Day.
“It takes a village to create something meaningful, and we’re proud to give back to the women who make it all happen.”
She launched the clothing brand back in September 2024, with the first drop selling out in 24 minutes after being in the works for two to three years.
This isn’t the first time she’s faced backlash with Maebe as fans have previously hit out the high price point as well as the struggles to actually purchase the items due to the high demand.
One potential buyer wrote: “It’s very over-priced for what it is, but I genuinely just liked the set!
“It’s a rubbish experience, it’s just a game of whoever can type the fastest or who has their details saved, most shops allow you a bit of time to check out.”

Molly-Mae directly responded to the comment on YouTube as she candidly expressed: “couldn’t agree with you more on the stock front, it’s really frustrating.
“Unfortunately I just didn’t back myself enough when we planned these quantities a very long time ago.
“I promise you this is something I am in total agreement with you on and it’s something that in the New Year we will improve upon now that we have an understanding of the demand.
“I’m really sorry you feel let down – I’m learning as I go and will make this a better buying experience for you as soon as we can.”
Despite some backlash, new accounts for her firm MMH International Ltd stated that Maebe made around £300,000 in profit for the 12 months to the end of March last year.
As of December 2025, cash deposits in the firm stood at £231,155, having risen from £65,071 the previous year.

But he made it up to her by giving her a burgundy Hermès Togo Birkin 30 bag on Bravo TV show Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
She said: “The crazy thing about it is, I always have something to say.
“And in that moment — I don’t think I’ll ever forget it — I was genuinely speechless.
“I couldn’t speak.
“It was so crazy.
“Even my mum, she was, like, ‘You always have something to say’.
“And I was like, ‘But I genuinely believed he was a Faithful.
“Honestly, winning best-dressed of the castle, being runner-up on a show that I have never watched, and I’m getting a free Birkin, for me, that’s a win.
“I don’t need anything else.
“I genuinely don’t.
“That is a win.”
However, her movie career is off to an underwhelming start — her debut film, The Spin, took just £12,000 in its opening weekend in the UK and Ireland.

Maya completed the look with a white faux-fur stole and later stripped down to nothing except that wrap.
She took to Instagram to recap her Brit Awards night and shared the photo of her completely nude, with just the stole covering her modesty.

“There were only 4 other people in the category but tonight we have 10 people.”

The Heat was set to be ITV’s next big reality show but the culinary programme fronted by Olivia Attwood has been criticised after its first episode
22:38, 25 Feb 2026Updated 22:49, 25 Feb 2026
The Heat has been criticised
Olivia Attwood’s new ITV show, The Heat, reportedly ran into a few hiccups during filming. Former Love Island star Olivia, 34, took on the hosting duties for the new reality TV cooking show. It sees 10 chefs head over to Barcelona to work under multi Michelin Star award-winning chef Jean-Christophe Novelli.
The group is battling it out to become the next rising star in the culinary world. But guests invited into the pop-up establishment were supposedly greeted with non-alcoholic Prosecco.
A source told The Sun: “The diners waited for nearly two hours for their main courses while shouting and screaming could be heard from the kitchen.
“They didn’t even have any alcohol to keep them going – just some warm non-alcoholic Prosecco.”

And the insider added that some of the show’s starters were served “lukewarm”. There is also claims that the Spanish omelette that was served on the menu was missing a key ingredient – potatoes. Things took a turn for the worse when the establishment was forced to be evacuated following a small fire, which is shown in the trailer.
In the first episode of the show, it was soon a baptism of fire for the new chefs as they hit the ground running while trying to stay focused on a first service while having fun flirting. In an exclusive first look at the second episode that was obtained by the Mirror, host Olivia is seen on a lavish yacht in the Mediterranean sea.
The presenter says: “Yesterday The Heat opened its doors, the fire was on in the kitchen and later on the team let their hair down but there were sparks there too… Today, a new head chef has to step up and take control. Let’s hope there’s not too many distractions!”
And later, Olivia hilariously asks crew members: “Is my a**e out? I want it to be, I’ll get more likes” to which laughter off camera is heard.
Opening up on what she is usually like in the kitchen, Olivia confessed: “I’m a bit Victoria Beckham-coded. I could eat the same thing every day, I can’t be bothered to make a big mess. I want to eat the food, I don’t want to make it.”
