Olivia Attwood first appeared on our TV screens in 2017 as a contestant in the third series of Love Island, and instantly became a star due to her dry humour and gobby relatability. You might also know her as a regular panellist on Loose Women or from her hit documentaries for ITV. Last year, she launched her podcast, Olivia Attwood’s So Wrong It’s Right, which promptly went to Number 1 in the UK charts. On today’s episode, we talk about everything from reality tv to her diagnosis with ADHD; from her love of gay clubs and medi-spas to failed relationships, the lessons friendship has taught her, the fact she hasn’t always loved being the centre of attention (no, honestly) and why she’s never watched herself back on Love Island. An absolute gem of an episode with a true woman’s woman. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Intro 02:09 Early Life and Overcoming Shyness 03:38 Dealing with Dyslexia and ADHD 08:19 Navigating Relationships and Codependency 13:08 The Importance of True Friendships 18:20 Finding Independence and Self-Worth 23:36 Body Image and Self-Care 26:24 Discovering the Power of Weight Training 27:24 Balancing Health and Lifestyle Choices 28:30 Embracing Workaholism 29:47 Navigating Emotional Vulnerability 30:20 The Struggle with Crying 37:17 Family Dynamics and Expressing Love 41:32 Coping with Loss 44:04 Final Thoughts and Gratitude Have something to share of your own?
