Olivia Attwood cast her mind back to the first night she met footballer Bradley Dack - who she is set to marry this weekend.
The 32-year-old model and the 29-year-old Blackburn Rovers midfielder will swap vows in front of loved one later today - having first met almost a decade ago.
Olivia and Bradley embarked on a romance back in 2015 before splitting up and Olivia went on to become a contestant on season three of Love Island in 2017 - where she was paired with Chris Hughes.
But once Live and Chis went their separate ways, the path was clear for romance to be reignited with Bradley - who popped the question in 2019.

Sharing a collection of snaps of them posing and kissing, Olivia shared the photos along with a caption via Instagram. And it transpires it was a cheeky smile and the promise of a drink that made Olivia first fall for the footballer all those years ago.
She wrote: “I got talking to this dude in libertine (nightclub) about 8 years ago because I loved a free drink and he had a cute smile.
“Tomorrow I’m marrying him. Modern day love stories.”
