Reality TV drama appears to be heating up again after Pete Wicks reportedly found himself blocked on social media by Olivia Attwood’s ex-husband Bradley Dack, following a night that has set tongues wagging.
The situation unfolded after Pete, 37, and Olivia, 34, were seen leaving a Manchester hotel together over the weekend. Their joint departure came hours after Pete was spotted walking through the hotel lobby at around 3am carrying two pizza boxes to his room.
When the pair emerged later that morning, both kept a low profile. Olivia hid her face beneath a hood and baseball cap as their luggage was loaded into the same car shortly before they left the hotel together around lunchtime.
But it appears the sighting hasn’t gone down well with her former partner. Footballer Bradley Dack, 32, has now blocked Pete on Instagram, making his feelings clear just weeks after news broke that he and Olivia had ended their marriage.
Bradley is no longer following Pete on social media, and the feeling appears to be mutual, suggesting tensions may be simmering behind the scenes.
The encounter came shortly after the pair attended the BRIT Awards in Manchester, where they were seen chatting throughout the evening despite sitting at different tables. Olivia had been seated with ITV guests while Pete was with Kiss FM.
According to one onlooker, despite the separate seating arrangements, the pair gravitated toward each other throughout the night. The source said that although they started the evening apart, they ended up spending much of the event talking and even sitting beside each other at one point.
Speaking on their Sunday Roast podcast ahead of the ceremony, Pete joked about their tendency to stick together at industry events. He explained that whenever they attend these gatherings, he and Olivia inevitably end up gravitating toward each other and spending most of the time together.
Olivia agreed, admitting that they usually share the same goal when attending such parties. She joked that the aim is essentially to talk to as few people as possible.
Pete then quipped that the plan this year was to avoid going too wild at the ceremony, prompting Olivia to remind him she had a flight the next day. She laughed that he would need to keep her clear-headed enough so she didn’t get stopped at immigration.
Pete joked back that the real risk was him jumping on the plane with her while still wearing whatever he had on from the BRIT Awards.
Their latest outing follows months of speculation about their relationship. The pair previously sparked headlines last summer after they were seen sharing a close embrace while on a yacht in Ibiza.
Meanwhile, Olivia’s split from Bradley earlier this year reportedly followed what sources described as a “breach of trust” during their marriage.
The couple have had a turbulent relationship history. Olivia first shot to fame on Love Island in 2017, later revealing she joined the show partly as revenge after Bradley cheated on her.
Despite the drama, the pair reconciled and later married, with Olivia joining The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) in 2019 — the same ITV show that helped make Pete Wicks a household name.
Now, with late-night pizzas, hotel exits and social media blocks all adding fuel to the fire, fans are once again speculating whether the long-standing friendship between Olivia and Pete could be turning into something more.
