The 34-year-old star took to her social media to share an update with fans revealing that she’s ‘defeated’ by a mystery illness.
Yesterday the TV star shared a photo where a medic could be seen in the room with her, kneeling down to the floor with medical equipment in view.
Olivia penned to fans: “I’m really sorry to anyone that was expecting me to be on Loose Women today.
“Got to work and my body finally said no. Thank you to the team for looking after me. Back soon.”
Now the Loose Women panelist has taken to her TikTok to give her followers an insight into how she’s been feeling since.

Lying on her sofa and speaking to the camera, Olivia said: “I’m the firstborn daughter, first granddaughter, Taurus. I don’t listen to anyone. Apparently that includes my body. I just don’t like being defeated.
“This f***** thing has defeated me. And now I’m on like 24 hours of doctor ordered lying about, being f****** bone idle is what I call it.
“My half English, half German DNA is not coping well with being sedentary on the ADHD. Yeah.
“So anyone got any tips on how I can remain sedentary so I can get better? Because I have a f******* crazy f*******schedule next week.
She went on to ask fans on a movie recommendation: “ I may watch Frankenstein on Netflix. Has anyone watched it?
“Can you just tell me, is it sad? I don’t want to feel sad. I feel like some of the clips I’ve seen look really sad. If it like breaks your heart, my heart’s already broken because I had to let down my Loose Women today.
“So I need to see something scary or funny.”
Fans rushed to the comments wishing the star well wishes and give her a tonne of movie recommendations to watch as she recovers.
Olivia, who is married to Bradley Dack, first opened up about her health troubles after she posted an Instagram story attached to a drip this week, and wrote: “I’m doing everything to get rid of this plague (apart from have a day off). “
The star then tagged The Wellness Lab.
She also posted a photo of herself having Acupuncture later on in the day, adding: “Literally everything. FYI if you’re into acupuncture/ alternative therapies, Renata Nunes is a wealth of knowledge.”
It comes as the hardworking star landed a six-figure deal as the new face of a former high-street giant.
The ITV presenter celebrated the festive season early when she launched the new ‘Debenhams Delivered’ campaign.
The Sun revealed in October that Olivia would appear alongside sportsman Peter Crouch and her fellow Loose Women panellist Judi Love in a film to show off the online department’s biggest clothing, beauty and homeware brands.
An insider told The Sun: “Olivia is the perfect signing for Debenhams so she’s worth every penny of the six-figure deal she’s landed.
“She’s everything that the brand will want to attract to shop on its site – a young professional, who works hard, plays hard and likes to look great while doing it.
“Olivia’s also bringing a bit of fun to the campaign with her typical tongue-in-cheek humour and sassy attitude.”
