"I was shaking."

Love Island star Olivia Hawkins has opened up about her feud with Kai Fagan following her return to Casa Amor on this year. The 27 year old was coupled up with Kai before the two headed in different directions during Casa Amor. During their time apart, Kai decided to recouple with Sanam while Olivia chose to bring Maxwell back to the main villa. Once Olivia returned to the main villa, the didn't hold back when it came to telling Kai exactly how she felt about his choice to recouple, saying: "It's very telling, it's very telling. I can't say I'm shocked.

"Missing me already? Clearly not enough, his loss, my gain."

Speaking about the recoupling, Olivia appeared on the Not My Bagg podcast, saying: "I think from what the boys had said to me I thought there was a strong percentage that he'd be sat there with someone but until you walk through those doors you don't know.

"Do you know what, it's because he had such a grin on his face. That's the reason that I bit back. "Because I thought he was doing it in a smug way when he actually said he was happy for me." She went on to say that the boys in Casa Amor had told her that Kai wasn't genuine and she began questioning every thing.

She continued: "I was shaking. I was so nervous to go through those doors.

"I don't know what was going through my head." Since leaving the show, Olivia has owned up to her reaction to the recoupling and admitted that it was unjustified. She said on Aftersun: "Let me just say, I've watched that clip back and I put my hands up: I'm such a hypocrite.

"In the moment it's so intense. Emotions are high. There were real feelings there.

"So when I walked through those doors I was so nervous to come back with Maxwell. I'm just happy that me and Kai have sorted it all out."
