Yet the Love Island alumni later gave a sorry update, posting a picture of her fractured left wrist wrapped in a white sling.

The mum-of-one - who is married to co-star Alex Bowen, 31 - wrote on Instagram: "A broken wrist.

"Gutted doesn't cover it."

She finished her post with a broken heart Emoji and sad face icon.

Olivia's mishap comes shortly after she showed off her figure in tight gym gear.

She also went bra-free in a plunging black dress as she looked set to party.

The equestrian-lover was preparing to take part in a horse race before suffering her injury.

She had been training with racehorse Express Yourself and previously told fans she had had a wobble during training.

Yet getting her mojo back, she added: "I got back on, big girl knickers ON & remembering why I’m doing this! Look we’re trying to prove that anything is possible as a woman if you give her the tools.

"So I’m picking the tools back up & I am doing this, no matter how scared I am or how hard it gets. I know I’ll miss it all when it’s over!"

Olivia was set to take part in the Markel Magnolia Cup at Goodwood Races yet it remains to be seen if she will recover in time.

When talking about her challenge she previously said: "This has been one of the most exciting & challenging things I have ever done.

"I am currently in training to be able to take part in the race in a few months time."
