Olivia Attwood is facing yet another storm in her personal life — this time not with her husband, but with her best friend and longtime assistant Ryan Kay.
The pair, once inseparable, have spent most of the summer apart, and sources say their friendship has taken a “toxic” turn. Fans noticed they no longer follow each other online, and whispers suggest Ryan has quietly sided with Olivia’s husband, footballer Bradley Dack, after her wild Ibiza trip with Pete Wicks. Ryan still follows Bradley on Instagram, sparking even more speculation.
One insider told The Sun: “Things have turned really sour between Olivia and Ryan. It’s very sad because he’s been such a huge part of her life. He’s gutted not to be there during her This Morning journey and feels hurt that she’s moved on so quickly now she’s hit the big time.”
Ryan, who has styled celebrities like Georgia Harrison, Gemma Atkinson and Molly Smith, is currently touring the UK with Grace Keeling (aka GK Barry). Meanwhile, Olivia has been leaning on Bradley for support as she launched the second series of her ITV2 show Bad Boyfriends.
The Ibiza snaps, where Pete Wicks was seen wrapping his arm around Olivia’s waist, reportedly left Bradley “fuming”. A friend of the couple revealed: “Olivia will never change, she’s a party girl at heart. She needed time to blow off steam, but the public nature of her partying did anger Bradley.”
Despite the drama, Olivia has laughed it off on Instagram. Responding to a fan who asked about her marriage, she snapped back: “Don’t be [worried]. Worry about yours.” She later joked in a video captioned: “When your mates thought you died in Ibiza, but then you rock up to the event.”
Still, fans can’t ignore the tension, especially after Olivia herself admitted on stage: “I’ve been a bad girlfriend — I could be on Bad Wives!”
Pete Wicks, for his part, insists their bond is unique but purely platonic. “Liv’s secretly one of the kindest, most intelligent people,” he told The Mirror. “She’d do anything for those she cares about… though she’s also a bit of a pr*ck.” Olivia chimed in: “He’s very loyal. If he’s in your corner, you know he’ll be there.”
With Ryan out of the picture, Olivia’s inner circle looks very different — and for the first time in years, her personal and professional worlds no longer overlap.
