Louis Russell reveals real reason for 'dumping' Olivia Hawkins as she breaks down in tears

Olivia Hawkins was seen breaking down in tears during tonight's Celebs Go Dating as she opened up to Paul C Brunson about the extent of her relationship with Louis Russell.

Louis and Liv had an instant connection upon entering the agency - which was common knowledge to the agents. However, last week, Liv told best friend and Love Island co-star Samie Elishi that the pair were keeping their 'off screen relationship' a secret.

Opening up to Samie, Liv revealed that they had spent the night together three times, with Louis brutally cutting things off by saying they need to take a step back over text message. Tonight, Liv revealed all to Paul, as the celebrities took an away trip to the countryside.

Pulling Paul aside, Liv said: "I haven't been open and honest with you about what's going on outside the agency. Me and Louis have been meeting up quite a bit. We've stayed together and he's taken me out on a date. Now it's come to a head. I just want your advice on how to handle it because it's become kind of awkward now."

"Why didn't you tell us this?" Paul questioned - as Liv revealed she was scared of what they'd say - and then broke down in tears when she told Paul he said he wanted to take a step back.

"It's upsetting because it's like situations I've been in before where they treat you like a girlfriend and then dismiss you."

As Paul comforted the star, Louis made an awkward late appearance on the trip - when he went to catch up with Made in Chelsea's Sam Prince.

When asked what was going on with Liv, Louis, who is currently dating Love Island US star Huda Mufasa, remained coy to Sam, but told the real reason he 'dumped' her via text.

"I gave it a go with Liv and I do like her. But I just can't give her what she wants. I wanted to keep it casual but clearly it meant more to her than it did to me. I just hope she understands."

During his confessional, Sam added: "In the last few weeks, I've grown quite fond of Liv. Liv is a sweetheart and all Louis is doing is messing her around."

It wasn't the only awkward moment between Sam and Louis, as it appeared they both fancied the same girl on their picnic date with four new girls.

Towards the end of the night, things turned sour once again, when Liv and Donna noticed Louis kissing one of the girls after asking her out on a date. The episode then came to a dramatic cliffhanger - with a trailer teasing fallouts tomorrow...
