OLIVIA Attwood has finally revealed the truth about her huge fight with Shelby Tribble.
The former Love Island star, 28, became embroiled in the fall out between former best friends Shelby Tribble and Clelia Theodorou over Shelby’s romance with Sam Mucklow.
“I am getting a picture of Shelby and I need to asses who she is as a person and what our friendship is based on,” Olivia exclusively tells The Sun Online.
Olivia has now been left questioning the nature of her lifelong friendship with Shelby.
“If you are going to talk badly about me then are we true friends at all?” she said.
“I’m not sure if she is compulsively telling lies so I need to sit down and talk it through. I don’t know if I know who she is as a person.”
Olivia is no stranger to drama but insists she didn’t “want to make enemies straight away or fall out with anyone”.
She added: “But Clelia needed someone to have her back and give her the confidence to say her piece because she is in the right.
“Yes I’ve known Shelby a lot longer but I don’t care whether we were friends when we were kids, I care about how you treat me now.”
“In my gut I know she isn’t a bad person but there’s certainly a lot of s**t and a big mess that needs sorting out.”
But Olivia still hopes their friendship can move past the drama.
“She has created so many dramas herself. I can tell you that Clelia and I are Shelby’s true friend,” she said.
“We know her well enough to tell her when she is in the wrong.
“If she loves Sam then I want it to work but I just want it to work and everything else to work too if that makes sense.
“I really hope they stay together but I have no idea. Sam is very likeable and charming and I have a lot of time for him and despite everything with Shelby I want her to be happy.
Olivia was hailed as “TV gold” after making her full-time Towie debut with the screaming match.
The former Love Island star didn’t hold back during the public spat with Chloe.
Screaming her way into the drama with Chloe, Olivia yelled: “You spoke to Shelby every single day when she was in Mallorca?
“Don’t wind me up. I am Shelby’s friend. What are you going f***ing on about? That you spoke to her every day.”
As she shouted down Chloe during the row, others were drawn in to try and keep the peace but Tom and Sam nearly ended up in their own fight.
Tom told him: “You don’t need to be the knight in shining armour.”
The row between Olivia and Chloe continued as Chloe tried to tell her how Shelby had confided in her about Olivia.
Chloe told her: “I spoke to her a lot more than you have because she’s beside herself that you weren’t her friend. She’s beside herself. She’s been worried about it, she’s been telling me.”
But Olivia had the last word and told Chloe: “Walk away Chloe in your f***king Aladdin trousers.”
That comment alone was enough for viewers to hail Olivia as the saviour of Towie and TV gold.
