Olivia Attwood Considers Leaving UK After Split

has hinted she could quit the UK following her split from husband .

The TV presenter, 34, who fronts new series The Heat, revealed she could see herself emigrating to Barcelona, where the show was filmed.

Speaking in a new interview, Olivia admitted she would be tempted by a move to sunny when asked if she would consider relocating.

'I would actually, yes - after constant days of rain. To be honest, I would consider it,' she said.

The former Love Island star also revealed that romances blossomed among the cast of aspiring chefs away from the high-pressured kitchen environment, where they were put through their paces by Michelin-star chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, 65.

Olivia explained: 'Romances did form and when I last checked in, some of them are still talking and dating, so things did develop - not for everyone.

'I know they talked about a desire to have sex, but whether it happened or not… some of the cast members are quite cheeky and they made no secret about wanting a hot summer.'

Olivia confirmed she and footballer Bradley had separated in January after two years of marriage, following reports he had 'breached' her trust.

While she admitted to struggling with the split on Instagram after moving into a London apartment alone, the workaholic has poured her energy into the launch of her new show, The Heat.

Reflecting on her eventful start to the year, Olivia said: 'I feel like I've been absolutely milking the life out of this year so far. Could I do any more launch parties? It's all I do.

'As a viewer, I'm excited and being part of it, I'm excited. It's going to fill that Love Island-shaped hole in people's lives - and then some.

'It's the perfect mix between reality and competition. You have the high-pressure reality of working in a Michelin-star kitchen where everyone is competing, but when their shifts are over, we follow them in their downtime. 

'You see contestants forming relationships and developing romantic feelings for each other - it's so interesting to watch them navigate that side of life outside the kitchen.'

Having found fame on Love Island and appearing on shows such as TOWIE and Celebs Go Dating, Olivia says she is in a 'unique' position to offer contestants on The Heat her words of wisdom - just not about cooking.

She explained: 'I didn't give them any cooking advice - I left that to Jean-Christophe. But what I will say to anyone going on reality shows is you have to give yourself to the process. You're in it now, so you may as well jump in with both feet and try to enjoy it.

'It is a competition, it is high pressure, but it's meant to be fun. It's going to be the most amazing summer and a memory you'll look back on forever.

'I look back on the summer of 2017 so fondly. I have so many good memories from that summer, but really, halfway through my Love Island experience, if someone had left a back door open, I would have run through it. But now I'm glad I stayed because I had the best summer - and it goes so quickly.' 

The contestants on The Heat, who are already professional chefs, have worked in kitchens from a young age - a work ethic that had an impact on former Grid Girl Olivia, who admits she wasn't as committed at that age.

She said: 'The ages of some of the contestants - they are so impressive compared to how I was at that age.

'They are real chefs, they all have kitchen experience, they are ambitious, tenacious, driven, talented, they are everything I wasn't at that age.

'I can relate to them because they're hungry for a new experience; they're hungry for a challenge, and I see that in all of them. 

'I was blown away by them, they're really impressive and they're really different to who we might see on reality stars - they have all been working in kitchens since they were 15/16 year olds so they're all resilient, they're driven and you really get drawn in by their personalities.' 

As a newly single, party-loving TV star, Olivia admits she feels more at home by a bar than in the kitchen - but, to some people's surprise, she can rustle up a meal or two.

She said: 'At home, I am Victoria Beckham coded. I could eat the same thing every day. I can't be bothered to make a big mess and a big production, but when I go out, I want to try new restaurants and try new things off the menu. I want to eat the food; I don't want to make it.

'My comfort zone in the restaurant was by the bar, that's where I feel most at home, shaking a little cocktail or two.

'I can cook, I probably wouldn't want to cook for Jean Christophe, but I can make a spag bol, a roast dinner, I've got some skills but it's nothing fancy.

'People think that I can't cook at all because I'm a bit Carrie Bradshaw coded with sweaters in the oven, I could just use it as storage because I'm probably not going to turn it on - but I can when push comes to shove.'

• The Heat continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
