A weekend kiss has ignited a firestorm, revealing a surprising new chapter in Olivia Attwood’s life. Just months after announcing her separation from husband Bradley Dack, the former Love Island star was photographed sharing a passionate moment with longtime friend and co-star, Pete Wicks.
The images, captured in London’s Soho district, show a clear shift in their dynamic. For years, Olivia and Pete have maintained a close professional relationship, hosting shows and building a strong on-screen partnership. Now, it appears that friendship has blossomed into something more.
Olivia, seemingly unfazed by the public attention, arrived at her Kiss FM show with a bright smile and an air of confidence. She shielded her eyes with oversized sunglasses, a Hermès handbag casually slung over her shoulder, projecting an image of composure amidst the swirling rumors.
Pete, however, adopted a markedly different approach. He kept his head down, avoiding eye contact with photographers, a stark contrast to Olivia’s open display. Despite their separate entrances, a subtle connection remained – both were sporting the same checkered Vans trainers.
The reaction from Olivia’s estranged husband has been swift and decisive. Bradley Dack has reportedly severed ties on social media, unfollowing both Olivia and Pete. Sources claim he is deeply hurt and feels “embarrassed” by the public display, particularly as divorce proceedings haven’t even begun.
Insiders suggest Bradley had harbored hopes for reconciliation, but this new development has extinguished those possibilities. He is now said to be “livid” and prepared to pursue a firm outcome in the divorce settlement.
The timeline suggests the romance between Olivia and Pete began in February, following her split from Bradley. Friends of Olivia reportedly welcome the connection, noting Pete has been a source of support during a difficult time. She’s described as having found a renewed sense of happiness with him.
This isn’t the first time speculation has surrounded Olivia and Pete’s relationship. Last year, a yacht trip to Ibiza sparked rumors, with photos showing a close physical proximity. Both vehemently denied any romantic involvement at the time, attributing it to misinterpretation.
Olivia’s journey to this point has been public. Her marriage to Bradley, a footballer, began in 2015, marked by periods of separation and reconciliation. She even alluded to a cheating ex during her appearance on Love Island, a move seen as a deliberate act of defiance.
The couple finally wed in a lavish ceremony in June 2023, a fairytale event featuring a stunning £30,000 gown and an archway of 10,000 roses. Now, less than a year later, that chapter appears to be definitively closed, replaced by a new, unexpected connection.
Olivia recently admitted to struggling with loneliness after moving into a new apartment, confessing to “crying herself to sleep.” Despite the pain of the breakup, she has publicly expressed a desire for her ex-husband’s happiness, a sentiment that now feels complex in light of recent events.
