Olivia Bowen: I Lost Myself After Giving Birth & What Love Island Never Showed
"Second Chance Dresses got commissioned by Netflix to go and start up in New York and I was about to go and present the second series. It was all sorted. I got my visa. We had the boutique, met all the contributors, was ready to go. Flight was booked and COVID hit. So I was about to be a presenter on a show on Netflix. We were getting an apartment in New York."
Olivia Bowen was set to present the second series of Second Chance Dresses for Netflix in New York, with visa approved and apartment secured, when the pandemic cancelled the project. She and husband Alex were preparing to relocate to New York, which would have completely altered their life trajectory. She reflects that had this happened, she may never have had children.
