During a Q and A with fans, Olivia was asked why she wasn’t spending Christmas in Dubai like ‘everyone else’.

She wrote: ‘Well… I love Dubai… love love love it, hence why we got engaged there.

‘But… it feels like the whole of the UK is there right now and I’d quite frankly rather stick pins in my eyes. Am missing my girls though xx.’

In recent weeks stars including Amber, Ella, Kelsey, as well as Love Island’s Maura Higgins and Gabby Allen, have jetted to Dubai for a festive break.

The city has been an ideal choice for many as visitors aren’t currently required to quarantine upon their return to the UK.

Many stars have insisted their trips are for ‘work’ as the government currently asks UK residents living in high-risk areas to avoid unnecessary travel.

Elsewhere, Olivia has been keeping fans abreast of her wedding preparations on new reality show Olivia Meets Her Match, ahead of her lavish nuptials with fiancé Bradley Dack. 

In one episode, the former Love Island star revealed to a stunned Bradley that she’s planning on splashing an eye-watering £200,000 on the wedding.

The stunner joked that she could buy a Lamborghini for the price of their lavish nuptials, with Bradley none too impressed that his wife-to-be had gone way over budget. 

Speaking to the camera, Olivia remarked: ‘If I sit and think about the fact I could have a brand new Lamborghini for the cost of this wedding, then I could just cancel this wedding right now.

‘But you can’t think like that because… memories are priceless and all that s***.’
