Olivia Attwood revealed the future of her controversial dating show Bad Boyfriends live on Loose Women after a string of fan complaints.
The former Love Islander, 33, revealed that the ITV show will return for second season, but there will be a major twist to the format.
Set to return next year, Olivia confirmed to her fellow panellists, Kay Adams, Coleen Nolan and Penny Lancaster, that she is back on the hunt for more bad boyfriends.
She said: ‘We have been green lit for season two. It will be coming back for 2025 – I will be on the hunt for more bad boyfriends and attempting to reform them and their bad ways.
‘I am very pleased. It’s hard to get people to watch stuff these days. There are a lot of dating shows out there and we were all very happy with the reception. So bring on season two.’
Bad Boyfriends is a show which sees eight unsuspecting boyfriends – from serial cheaters to commitment-phobes – flown out to a Greek island under the premise of filming a series about manhood and bromance on a lads’ holiday.

But their girlfriends make a shock arrival after Olivia announces their wild partying days are on hold to reveal they are on a show designed to whip them into better boyfriend shape.
Olivia recruited the couples for Bad Boyfriends to try and fix their relationships.
But there is said to be a twist in the show’s return as The Sun reported that ‘viewers can expect new and outrageous twists and turns’.
The news comes after Olivia was slammed by Loose Women fans as they claimed she had double standards.
She was branded ‘hypocritical and sexist’ as she chatted to her fellow panelists, Jayne Moore, Ruth Langsford, and Coleen Nolan, about sexism in the workplace.
But as Olivia revealed to her fellow stars that she is okay with older men referring to her as ‘darling’, she does not like it when men her own age call her it.
This revelation was met with rage from viewers, who branded her hypocritical for hosting a TV show called Bad Boyfriends.
Adding to the topic of conversation, Olivia said: ‘I do give a free pass to men, not with everything, but with older men when its like a love or a darling over a certain age just because I don’t believe there is harmful intent with that language.’

She then added: ‘Weirdly, I don’t like it if a man a similar age to me calls me doll or babe or whatever from a clothing store. I’m a bit like urgh’.
When quizzed by Ruth if she would tell the men her age to not call her that, she confessed that she would just pull a face rather than say anything.
But her candid admission sent viewers into a frenzy as they branded the TV personality a ‘hypocrite’ for having ‘double standards’.
Take to X, formerly known as Twitter, one penned: ‘#loosewomen So, these women want to change men? Can you imagine the cries of misogyny if there was a similar programme but where men wanted to change women?’
‘When’s Bad Girlfriends on? Or is #Loosewomen the equivalent…?’
‘Double standards #loosewomen’
‘#loosewomen That bird who just said “toxic masculinity” – does she not realise just how sexist THAT is? It just washed over her completely!’
‘#LooseWomen So isn’t this, once again, confusing for men to know what’s ‘acceptable’ and what isn’t? The ladies just said they’re OK with men/people over a certain age calling them love/darling/babe but not those younger than themselves’
