Olivia Hawkins has confirmed that she has secured a role in Fast X, the tenth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise.
The 27-year-old only recently departed the Love Island villa, but her career appears to be only getting started.
Olivia, who has also been in EastEnders and Top Boy, revealed the good news to former Love Island star Toby Aromolaran this week.
Olivia revealed to Toby on his Fancy A Chat? Podcast: ‘I did a scene in the latest Fast & Furious.’
Toby said, a little surprised, ‘Fast & Furious 10?!’ Olivia verified this to MailOnline: ‘Yeah. In the midst of a celebration. I’m not sure when it’ll be released.’
She also said that she shot sequences in London rather than Rio de Janeiro, where Fast X was also filmed.
Fans finally got their first peek at the upcoming movie, which is due to hit theatres in May.
Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, and Scott Eastwood all returned to the series in a new teaser, while Jason Momoa and Brie Larson headed the pack of cast additions.
Olivia’s conversation with Toby comes after she stated she received ‘death threats’ after appearing on Love Island.
‘The mental health aspects of fame and trolling. When you get the nasty comments – and I have had quite a lot of death threats,’ she said.
‘You just don’t expect it at all. So when you see it, you’re just completely shocked,’ she added to OK! magazine.
After getting pied by Tom Clare and arguing with Kai Fagan, Jessie Wynter, and Zara Lackenby-Brown in the South Africa villa, the former ring girl teamed up with Maxwell Samuda and became ‘official’.
