HONOURING her natural beauty has been an easy progression for Olivia Attwood over the last year.
And part of that entails drawing freckles on her face… as she “paid a fortune” to have them all lasered off a few years ago.

When appearing on the third season of Love Island in 2017, 33-year-old Olivia’s forehead and cheeks were dotted with freckles.
They were a stand-out part of her look.
So much so, her boyfriend at the time (fellow villa alum Chris Hughes) even said: “Your freckles are one of my favourite sights.”
But after getting them zapped off with an intense laser in 2023, Olivia has now resorted to drawing them back on… one by one.

Taking to TikTok, the Bad Boyfriends presenter addressed the “hilarious irony” or her beauty dilemma.
“I paid a fortune to have basically all of my freckles lasered off with PhotoFabulous,” she said.
PhotoFabulous uses a combination of intense pulse light and a non-ablative laser to blast unwanted pigmentation from the face.
Olivia had the treatment done at Dr. Saleena Zimri’s Skin Doctor clinic in Manchester ahead of her lavish wedding to footballer Bradley Dack in June 2023.
She even filmed herself getting the painful beauty treatment done for her ITV show, Olivia Marries Her Match.
But now, missing her freckles and looking to nail a more natural look, she has resorted to drawing faux ones on her face with an eyebrow pencil.
“I just draw them back on,” Olivia admitted.
“I just go in little twisty motions.”
The exact make-up product she uses is the Max Factor Brow Shaper pencil – and it’s currently on sale in Boots for £7.19.
According to the Skin Doctor website, Olivia’s PhotoFabulous treatment costs anywhere from £400 upwards per sitting.
And typically, you’ll need three to five sessions for it to actually give you a flawless face.
Fans were shocked by Olivia’s revelation.
“Freckles lasered off? We can do that now?” Gee Race commented under her TikTok video.
“You look so pretty with and without freckles,” another penned.
