TOWIE’s Olivia Attwood unveils daring new tattoo in sizzling yellow bikini snap

She’s no stranger to getting dressed up and wearing glamorous ensembles.

Yet, Olivia Attwood, 29, surprised her 1.8million Instagram followers as she unveiled a new tattoo on her bikini line while posing in sizzling swimwear on Monday. 

The Love Island star slipped into the eye-catching two-piece as she prepares to make her big return to TOWIE – although it was her new intimate inking that caught many of her fans attention. 

Despite it being difficult to read, the reality TV star’s new body art at the very top of her left thigh read, ‘forever wild’ in script-style writing. 

The blonde bombshell accentuated the new inking while clad in a pair of high-waisted thong-style bikini bottoms in her back garden.

Smiling for the camera, she was sure to send temperatures soaring as her bikini top highlighted her eye-popping cleavage and worked her platinum locks into a soft wave.    

Olivia, who is happily engaged to her footballer fiancé Bradley Dack, captioned the photo: ‘Who can read what my new tattoo says? you need to have good eyesight’ (sic). 

Olivia’s appearance comes a day after she was pictured returned to filming scenes for TOWIE, months after the COVID-19 lockdown halted production.

TOWIE halted filming in March and joined a long list of shows which have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

Show bosses were hoping to continue with filming the new series which was due to begin production later that month.

However, according to The Sun, ITV decided to delay production on the reality show due to COVID-19, with the hope filming could resume later this year.

A source told the publication: ‘There have been lengthy discussions with the cast, and it just wouldn’t have worked without a busy social scene and going to clubs and their shops.

‘So bosses have decided to wait until later in the year when the crisis has calmed down a bit. It’s not worth the risk.

‘TOWIE relies on signature set pieces and glossy events, set in glamorous locations around Essex and involves a big cast of regulars and extras. It’s also all about friendships and relationships, so the social lives of our cast members are at the heart of the show.’

An ITV spokesperson said: ‘After much consideration, it has been decided that the upcoming series of The Only Way Is Essex will be postponed until later in the year.’

The next time the series is back on the small screen will be for the tenth anniversary series which will feature original castmembers Mark Wright and Amy Childs.

TOWIE was far from the only show that has been negatively impacted by the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

Shows across the nation were hit by the pandemic with long-running soaps such as Coronation Street, EastEnders and Hollyoaks being suspended.
