Olivia Attwood has launched into a scathing rant against a former friend - branding them a 'blood-sucking tick.'

Taking to Tik Tok, the former Love Island star, 34, described her experience with a certain 'professional victim,' likening them to a parasite who 'latches on' to new friends.

'We all know this person who, they can't keep a job, they can't keep a friend, they have no long-term friends, it's like they have no friends they can keep for a year, two max,' she said, as she began her 45-second tyrade.

'But it's never their fault, they're always the victim, this is a professional victim and you watch the cycle play out,' the reality star and ITV presenter continued.

'You can now piece together people who are before you, you can see your part in the cycle and you can see who they've moved onto next because I always think with these type of people they don't move onto new friends, they move onto new hosts like a tick,' added Olivia, who is married to footballer Bradley Dack.

And, as she continued with the simile, Olivia hinted that she was considering naming the former friend in question.

As she wrapped up the video, Olivia clarified: 'A tick has to be attached to you, it has to drink your blood and it has to have to have the host body.

'So once it leaves your body it's going to go and host onto another body.'

While she declined to name the subject of her ire, she did promise that she might tell all on a future podcast.

Responding to a comment from a fan, Olivia said: 'If you know the depths of how deep I have been screwed.

'I'll spill on a podcast or something soon just know they want the attention so I'll do it when I'm ready,' she added, signing off with a laughing face emoji.

She also liked a comment from another Tik Tok user who suggested that the individual in question was 'trying to copy and paste your look onto others and it doesnt [sic] flow well.'

This video comes after reports emerged of a fallout between Olivia and stylist Ryan Kay - who are said to have unfollowed each other on social media as their friendship reportedly hit the rocks.

A source told The Sun: 'Things have turned really sour between Olivia and Ryan.

'It's very sad because he has been such a huge part of her life. It's also very awkward for people like Georgia, who are close to both of them.

'Ryan has been with Liv through some of her biggest moments but is gutted not to be there throughout her This Morning journey.

'He can't lie - it's hurtful that she's moved on so quickly and ditched him now she's hit the big time.'

Earlier this month, Olivia opened up about her relationship with husband Bradley, amid rumours of disharmony between the pair.

Olivia and Bradley became beset with breakup rumours recently being hit with breakup rumours after Olivia was pictured looking cosy with longtime friend Pete Wicks in Ibiza.

When asked 'Where the helly is Brad' during an Instagram Q&A, Olivia responded: 'He's alive I swear. Ten years of us. A lot has changed. Marriage is frikinnn hard (no one wants to say that part out loud) and I'm just not a faker.

'I'm not posting pictures if they don't reflect our reality. We are doing our thing and if there are any more updates you will be the first to know.'
