Love Island star Olivia Attwood gets her own back as she tackles vile trolls in new documentary
AFTER years of online abuse Olivia Attwood is getting her own back with a probe into trolls.
In the hour-long documentary, the former Love Islander will hunt down web abusers — and no doubt give them a harsh talking to.
Olivia has spent four months filming the one-off special, in which she will also interview other victims, revealing how the cruel taunts have affected them.
A show insider said: “Olivia is really passionate about this documentary, given that she’s been targeted by sexist and body-shaming internet bullies ever since finding fame.
“It’s been fascinating for her to see what makes these trolls tick and why they feel the need to be so mean.”
Last year her ITV2 series Getting Filthy Rich investigated pornography, and won the Best Factual Programme prize at December’s Broadcast Awards.
She has previously hit out at trolls’ jibes about her hair extensions and lip fillers, which they said made her look like a duck.
In March 2020, she ranted in an Instagram video: “You don’t know what I need, and it’s none of your f***ing business. “If I want my mouth to look like a swollen b***hole, that is my choice. Don’t tell me, ‘You’re pretty, you don’t need it’.
“F*** off, f*** off, get on with your day, get out of my DMs. So anyone else that’s got any like, ‘You don’t need those hair extensions’ B***, you don’t know what I need. F*** off!”
She might be a tad more reserved in the documentary.
ALEX IS SECOND TO NUN
ALEXANDRA Burke still has the X Factor as she’s returning to the West End to star in hit musical Sister Act next year.
The 2008 winner of the ITV1 series will reprise her role of Deloris Van Cartier in the show, which she played on the nationwide tour in 2016.
She’ll be sharing the part with Starstruck judge Beverley Knight who’ll be playing Deloris between March 15 and June 8 at the Dominion Theatre, before Alexandra takes over from June 10 to August 31.
Both stars are steeped in West End pedigree, with Beverley’s CV including Cats, Memphis The Musical and The Bodyguard, taking on the lead role of Rachel Marron – which Alexandra has also played.
The X Factor champ has featured in Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Chess and Chicago.
Monsoon's Doctor Who gig
RUPAUL’S Drag Race winner Jinkx Monsoon has got a role in the new Doctor Who series.
Showrunner Russell T Davies said: “Jinkx Monsoon is on a collision course with the Tardis, and Doctor Who will never be the same again.”
Jinkx added: “I’m honoured, thrilled, and utterly excited to join Doctor Who.”
