UPCOMING Love Island contestant Olivia Hawkins insists that despite acting as Michelle Keegan's body double, she's an entirely different person.

The actress stood in for Brassic star Michelle while shooting an ad for the actress’ Very campaign in 2017.

But despite her long-standing connection to the star, Olivia, 27, insists she insists the pair are contrasting in many ways.

Speaking to The Sun, the star insisted her taste in men is unlike the former Coronation Street actress.

She told us: "I think we’re very different so I’m going to go off my own back and who I meet."

Olivia has previously posted behind the scenes snaps of her work on Instagram.

Aside from filling in for Michelle Keegan, she's also spent time on set covering for Emma Watson.

She stood in for the actress at the Harry Potter 20th anniversary reunion, Return To Hogwarts.

The singleton opened up to The Sun as she spoke about spending time with the legends on set.

She told The Sun: “It was absolutely amazing they’re both incredible women so I’m blessed to have had that opportunity really.”

“It’s just more they use your hair, your arms, your hands. She didn’t give me any tips but she’s a lovely girl.”

The 27-year-old will step into the villa in Cape Town this weekend.

But she is no stranger to projects in the public eye, as she first appeared as a waitress in a scene alongside Daniel Craig and Ana de Armas in 007’s latest outing No Time To Die.

But the upcoming contestant revealed that since the announcement, none of her famous pals have been in touch, as she hasn't told anyone that she was set to enter the ITV2 villa.

She revealed: "No one knows that I’m coming on. But they will now. Had to keep it top secret.”

Before entering the villa, Olivia reeled off the highlights of her career so far.

She said: “I did a film with Jason Statham and had a nice 10 minute convo about life.

“I’ve been a ring girl for KSI, I played a waitress in James Bond with Daniel Craig and I’ve also been a body double for Michelle Keegan and Emma Watson.”
