OLIVIA Attwood has dated her share of bad boys over the years and it’s meant she’s perfectly placed to judge the naughty males of Britain.
So much so – she’s got her eyes on the misbehaving men in her celebrity circle.
Olivia has revealed that an A-list version of her new dating show Bad Boyfriends could easily be made.
The new series, which begins on Sunday at 9pm on ITV2, sees Olivia help school a bunch of badly behaved fellas, who have been secretly nominated by their girlfriends.
She laughed: “In terms of a celebrity version, there are plenty that would qualify for sure!”
If the programme is a hit, she reckons many more versions of the format could be made.
Olivia added: “I feel that I know lots of bad girlfriends. I was a bad girlfriend myself at points over the years.
“Our casting process was actually open to all kinds of couples – they met with gay couples, all kinds of couples.
“It wasn’t that we were exclusively casting straight couples.”
Inspiration comes from many places – and Olivia has revealed this time it came from messed-up fans.
The ITV star gets so many online messages from girls asking for advice, it helped with her new show Bad Boyfriends.
Olivia said: “We built the format of the show around the fact that so many people reach out to me for dating advice. I’ve had crazy DMs.
“I get girls message me that I don’t know, they’re like, ‘Liv, I’ve just woke up, my ex is at my house, he’s still asleep. What do I do?’
“Or like ‘Liv, I cheated on my boyfriend last night’.
“And I’m like, you don’t know me from Adam! Sometimes I’ll just message back and be like, ‘just live it up’.
“I always thought that my dating life was so chaotic and messy but then maybe that’s why this works, people feel connected and that they can relate.”
