Olivia Attwood gets help from a famous pal for her explosive new reality show on ITV as they con a group of badly behaved friends

Olivia Attwood is joined by her pal Pete Wicks in ITV's explosive new reality show: Bad Boyfriends.

The TV star, 33, persuaded the TOWIE star, 36, to help a group of misbehaving friends, cheaters and DM pushers repair their relationships.

In the 11-part series, which is set to air in the fall, eight unsuspecting men are flown to a Greek island under the pretext of filming a series about masculinity and bromance while on vacation.

Pete appears to be the host of the fake show “Brotopia” and challenges the boys until Olivia arrives to put an end to their wild party and reveal the true plot of the series.

Pete told MailOnline: “I never expected to be flying to Greece to play the role of a fake presenter in a show called Brotopia – it was a brilliant experience and made even better when my girlfriend Olivia arrived and crashed the party!”

He added: “The cast is brilliant and I'm looking forward to rewatching the series and seeing if the couples can work on strengthening their relationships with Olivia's help.”

Since appearing on Love Island in 2017, Olivia has become one of the most successful contestants and has hosted four documentaries for ITV.

Olivia previously said in a press release: “I am so excited and honored to announce that I am hosting my own dating show.”

“This series has taken two years to produce and it has been so difficult to keep it a secret! Filming with the couples in Greece has exceeded all my expectations – they are simply incredible and viewers are in for an absolute treat.”

Before the new series, Olivia, who will be next Holly Willoughbyrevealed that her mother cannot even go to her local shop in Cheshire.

Speaking to MailOnline on Three UK's Mind, Body & Scroll, she said: “My mum says, 'Now I can't even go to the village shop without being recognised' and I say, 'You love it, don't lie.'”

“It is a big change [fame] not just for me, and we are all learning at the same time to deal with it and understand how it affects each of us differently.'

Her own dating show “Bad Boyfriends” will surely increase her fame even further.

Ahead of the start of the new series, Olivia, who is being touted as the next Holly Willoughby, revealed that her mum can't even go to her local shop in Cheshire (pictured with her mum Jenny).

Her son Kai has largely withdrawn from the limelight – all that is known is his passion for vintage and luxury cars – while her mother Jenny has appeared in several of her documentaries and on her podcast “So Wrong, It's Right”.

While Olivia's parents enjoy a quiet life in their mansion in Cheshire, her sister Georgia also remains relatively inconspicuous as a part-time model and senior research consultant.

The Love Island star rarely posts pictures of her sister on social media “because of her job”, but was given permission to do so at Georgia's hen party in Saint Tropez last year.

Olivia said: “Being thrust into the spotlight by Love Island is a big change not just for you but for everyone around you because it happens so suddenly.”

“Not just for me, but also for my parents and siblings. I try to respect that and am very grateful for their support.”

Olivia Attwood's “Bad Boyfriends” starts on Sunday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
