So I guess we're kind of working as it goes. Last month Olivia made things Instagram official, sharing a series of loved-up photos of them kissing on a beach in Ibiza earlier this summer 'I understand the interest. For a lot of people it's a crossover of two people that they've followed in different ways for a long time. So I understand and I have a very open dialogue with my audience.'Now that people know we're together we're working out not shutting people out who have been so lovely and happy for us and excited to watch our relationship grow, but also making sure that we keep enough back like that's just for us.'Olivia, known for her straight-talking, no-nonsense attitude, added she's trying to work on scaling back what she shares with fans, to ensure she keeps some semblance of privacy.The TV presenter mused: 'I never feel like I've said something I shouldn't. It's always the opposite.'I come from a reality background and I've had cameras in my home and I think that when I don't share everything, I get a guilt complex!'I am reminded by people around me I don't have to explain everything, but I guess I'm still trying to tell myself that.'I sometimes put too much pressure on myself to share more than I need to, which is weird because I think everyone else in this industry is the opposite.'
