Olivia Hawkins debuts natural look after lip filler dissolved

Olivia Hawkins unveiled her new natural look in an Instagram update on Wednesday after having her lip filler dissolved. The former Love Island contestant, 30, said she had undergone treatments since she was 21 and admitted she was “super nervous” to reverse the process. In the clip, Hawkins covers her mouth before revealing her refreshed appearance and telling followers she was happier with the result than she expected. “I’ve had all my lip filler dissolved and I’m actually so nervous to show you all. But I’m so so happy with them,” she said in a captioned video. “I have wanted to do this for the longest time. I don’t think I’ve seen my natural lips since I was 21 when I first had them done. Here they are… this is so weird. I love it but I can’t get used to it. Honestly, it’s so weird. I’m looking at myself and I don’t recognise myself because it’s been so long.”

In the update, Hawkins also name-checked the clinician who performed the dissolution. “A lady called Dr Sonia Soopen did them in Hove. Let me know what you guys think in the comments,” she added. The TV personality captioned the update: “I’ve been so nervous to show you all. Thank you Grand Aesthetics Clinic for making me feel at ease! It’s been such a long time since I’ve seen my natural lips but I actually love them.”

The post arrives as Hawkins has been navigating a high-profile reality-TV cycle, including a recent appearance on Celebs Go Dating. On the Channel 4 show, she became emotional after a breakup with co-star Louis Russell, describing the moment as painful while highlighting the difficulty of pushing herself out of her comfort zone. The Ibiza trip, where Hawkins and Russell first connected and shared a kiss, contrasted with later tensions back home when she said Russell had made “no consistent effort” to keep in touch. The situation fed fan interest as Hawkins continued to be linked with other reality-TV personalities off-camera.

Reports around her dating life have circulated in entertainment media since her exit from Love Island. The Sun cited a source saying that Hawkins’s dating landscape is evolving as she spends time with other reality-TV figures. The outlet suggested she has been on several dates with boxer and Netflix personality Kelechi “Kelz” Dyke, known for Too Hot To Handle, with insiders claiming the chemistry between Hawkins and Dyke is genuine. The story, which described the pair as getting “quite serious,” adds to the picture of Hawkins rebuilding her public life after Love Island. Watch this space, the source concluded.

Hawkins’s most recent sustained public romance was with Marcel Somerville, whom she split from in February after their appearance on Love Island: All Stars. The pair, who were axed from the South Africa villa in a surprise double dumping in January, have since kept their relationship cordial and described their parting as amicable. A separate source told MailOnline that Hawkins and Somerville had decided to part ways but would remain friends as they move forward with their individual lives. Representatives for Hawkins did not respond to requests for comment.

The update is part of a broader revival of public interest in Hawkins’s personal aesthetic choices and dating life, framed within ongoing coverage of reality-TV personalities in the Culture & Entertainment space. As she moves beyond the lip filler chapter, Hawkins has signaled a shift toward shared public moments that emphasize authenticity and personal reinvention. This narrative continues to unfold as Hawkins engages with fans online and through upcoming appearances on reality programs.
