Olivia Attwood has responded after her Love Island ex-boyfriend Chris Hughes shared a meme about her husband Bradley Dack.
Olivia and Chris coupled up on the 2017 season of the hit ITV show and came in a respectable third place - behind Jamie Jewitt and Camilla Thurlow, who came in second, and winners Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies.
After the show drew to a close, the couple even had their own spin-off series Chris & Olivia: Crackin' On but it turned out their love wasn’t made to last and they split up just a few months later.

Since then, Olivia, 32, has found love with 29-year-old footballer Bradley, whom she has known since 2015.
After getting engaged in 2019, they tied the knot last month in a lavish do at the luxury five-star Bulgari Hotel in Knightsbridge, London.
Their road to the big day is now being shared in new ITV series Olivia Marries Her Match, with episode one airing last night (1 August).
So far so good, right? Except that in a somewhat awkward turn of events, Bradley has recently signed to Sunderland - the football team Chris happens to support.
Chris previously addressed his love of the club, saying: “I’ve been a Sunderland fan from the age of three. I don’t live there, I was sent the Sunderland Echo every week. I went to my first game in ‘99 when I was six, we lost, shock.
“I’m Sunderland till I die, wouldn’t have it any other way. You can’t take out what’s embedded in your blood.”
Sunderland recently announced their new signing in a post on X - formerly known as Twitter - writing: “Welcome to Sunderland AFC, Bradley Dack!”
Showing that he’s able to laugh about the situation, Chris then shared the post and included a gif from his time on Love Island which showed him lying in bed with Olivia while wearing a massive pair of headphones. Fair play, that’s pretty funny.
Now, Olivia has given her thoughts on Chris’s post, admitting that she was slightly baffled at first but adding that it’s ‘nothing that deep’ going on.
She told Metro: “I was confused at first because I completely forgot he supports them. I thought, ‘Why is he getting involved?’
“Then I got it and thought he’s just having a bit of fun with it.
“There’s nothing that deep going on there. I don’t feel any type of way about him sharing it. He has got to watch my husband play football every week.”
