LOVE Island star Olivia Hawkins has thrown her support behind Ron Hall after he was accused of 'game playing'.
Olivia, 27, is backing 26-year-old Ron after he was ambushed in the villa following comments he made about making it to the final.
The financial adviser said he had noticed as a viewer of the show himself, that "the ones who have their drama nice and early" end up "cruising" to the final.
Olivia lost her place in the villa on Friday night and she has since watched back Ron's comment, which he made to Sanam, Kai, Tom and Samie.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Olivia – who is "best friends" with Ron's girl Lana Jenkins – has backed him.
The ring girl and actress said: "I saw the clip last night and I think he stated that couples in the past… it was along the lines of couples that have a rocky start always end up having smooth sailing at the end.

Olivia even added: I'm rooting for them to win."
After making his remark, Ron and Casey O’Gorman also came to massive blows over Rosie Seabrook – and then Lara and Rosie got involved.
