Love Island star Olivia Attwood is set to whip “badly behaved boyfriends” into shape in a new reality TV show coming to ITV2 later this year.
The series will see eight unsuspecting men flown to a Greek island under the premise of filming a series about manhood and bromance.
However, the group will be surprised when it is revealed that Attwood is there to teach them how to be better partners, at the behest of their girlfriends.
What is Olivia Attwood’s Bad Boyfriends about?
Across 11 episodes, the contestants will compete in a series of challenges, designed to rectify their ways and battle it out to become the most improved boyfriend.
There will be eliminations across the series as the least improved boyfriends deemed incapable of changing their ways are voted out, and one will be crowned the most improved boyfriend.
The show, which has the working title Olivia Attwood’s Bad Boyfriends, will air this autumn on ITV2 and ITVX.
Attwood said: “I’m so excited and honoured to announce that I am hosting my own dating show.
“This series has been two years in the making and keeping it under wraps has been so difficult.
“Filming with the couples in Greece exceeded all my expectations – they are just incredible and viewers are in for an absolute treat.”

Kate Teckman, head of development and commissioning editor of factual entertainment at ITV, added: “Expect the unexpected with lots of twists, turns and laugh-out-loud moments in this extraordinary test of relationships.
“Olivia’s irrepressible sense of humour, mischief and purpose makes her the perfect host to put these lovable rogues through their paces all in the name of a happy ending.”
Since leaving the Love Island villa in 2017, Attwood has also been the face of multiple ITV documentary series including Olivia Attwood vs The Trolls and Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
