As well as showing off her taut midriff, Olivia flaunted her new kitchen, living & dining space’s abundance of storage and two ovens.

In other snaps from her home account the blonde beauty revealed a slew of neutral accessories such as statement candlestick holders.

There was also a chic white sofa, covered with a grey blanket and three large cushions, which her dog Winnie had already taken a liking too.

While in the dining area Olivia’s reality star husband Alex could be seen sitting at their 2.4m dining table and checking his phone.

The couple’s kitchen boasted a butler style sink and stylish granite work tops, with the whole room being pulled together by herringbone-style luxury vinyl tile flooring.   

Olivia shared that the kitchen project was completed with an enthusiastic post, writing that she was very pleased with the results.

She penned: ‘WE’RE IN! It’s so difficult to get a photo to show you guys really how beautiful this room is in all its glory, I can’t seem to capture it – I’ll keep trying though obv. I think maybe it’s because it’s a feeling rather than a look. 

‘This was our first big project on the house & kitchens are my FAVOURITE room, so I really just wanted everything to be perfect & it has actually come out exactly how I imagined it, which hasn’t really happened before.

‘I’m quite overwhelmed actually however silly that may sound to some! There is still little bits to go like the armchair, coffee table, glass shelves, curtains etc BUT it’s finally useable! 

‘This is now officially our kitchen, living & dining space. Thanks guys for all your support along the way! Least that’s 1 room done, 718246 more to go… P.S look how cute Winnie is.’

It’s been a busy period of Olivia and Alex, with them trying to make progress on their new home during lockdown.

Back in February  the couple told OK! magazine that along with turning one of the bedrooms into a ‘dog room,’ they’re also going to completely re-work the Master Bedroom, and have one room especially for wardrobe space.

On top of that, they also revealed that since getting the keys for their dream house they’ve learned that Gemma Collins is one of their neighbours. 

The couple – who married in September 2018 – explained they’re going to gradually rework the house room by room, adding that this is the place they’d eventually like to start a family. 

Speaking about her plans for the bedrooms, Olivia revealed she’s already hoping to renovate one room to become a space for their French bulldogs Winnie and Reggie.

Asked how many bedrooms there are in the house, Olivia said: ‘Five, but one of them is obviously going to be a dressing room.

‘We’ve got a dog room, too. We’re going to convert the office into their bedroom – they are so spoilt! We want to put a door that goes straight to the garden, get them a little shower and dog beds.’

Olivia revealed her plans to revamp one of the bedrooms in an Instagram post, as she vowed that the pooches wouldn’t be spending their nights in her bed with Alex anymore.

The reality star also revealed she’s got a surprising neighbour in the form of TOWIE legend Gemma Collins.

She added: ‘[Gemma] is five minutes down the road. She’s actually invited us over for a roast dinner, and a barbecue in the summer. I love her. I’ll pop over to hers next time we run out of milk.’
