“Yeah. In the party scene,” she added, “I don't know when it's coming out…” before confirming that her scenes were shot in London rather than Rio De Janeiro, where other scenes for the film were shot.

Fast X is set to hit cinemas in May and will see the likes of Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson and Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges reprise their roles, whilst Jason Momoa and Brie Larson will be joining as new cast members.

Olivia has previously appeared in an array of movies and TV shows over the years including Top Boy, EastEnders and Return to Hogwarts.

She’s even worked alongside Daniel Craig in the 2021 James Bond flick, No Time To Die.

Outside of her career, things seem to be going well in her love life also as the former islander is still getting to know Maxwell Samuda, who she was coupled up with in the villa.

This comes after she was recently forced to deny rumours that they had split, telling Gogglebox stars Joe and George Baggs during their Not My Bagg podcast: “There’s been rumours that we split up, I went to the football and he went to an event, but no we’re literally fine.”
