Bradley Dack has reportedly been left furious, humiliated and blindsided after estranged wife Olivia Attwood’s romance with Pete Wicks burst into the spotlight — crushing any lingering hopes he had for a reunion.
The footballer, 32, is said to be “livid and embarrassed” after photos emerged showing Olivia passionately kissing Pete at London’s Flute Bar in Soho on Friday night. The images, which quickly spread across tabloids, appear to have marked a definitive turning point in their fractured relationship.
In a move that didn’t go unnoticed by fans, Bradley unfollowed Olivia on Instagram on Sunday — a decisive digital cut that mirrored her own earlier action this year. But behind the scenes, insiders claim things are far more serious, with Bradley now allegedly preparing to “take her to the cleaners” as their divorce battle looms.
A source revealed: Bradley is livid, he’s not surprised at all but is completely embarrassed and upset. He can’t believe Olivia has moved on so publicly and they’ve not even signed the divorce papers.
The insider added that while the footballer had long suspected there was more than friendship between Olivia and Pete, the very public nature of the kiss has left him reeling. He’s believed to have held onto hope for a reconciliation — until now.
Bradley was hopeful for a reunion with Olivia but after this, he’s just livid and will take her to the cleaners, the source said.
Meanwhile, Olivia and Pete’s relationship appears to have escalated rapidly. The pair, who had previously insisted they were “just friends”, are thought to have grown close in recent weeks following her split from Bradley in January.
Eyewitnesses claim the chemistry between them was undeniable during their night out, with the pair reportedly kissing around 10pm as friends cheered them on. Olivia is said to have screamed in delight and celebrated the moment openly, marking a dramatic shift from her previously guarded stance.
Despite the controversy, those close to Olivia insist there was no overlap between relationships. A friend explained that the romance only began after her marriage ended and that Pete had been a steady source of support during a difficult emotional period.
Olivia’s close friends know about this new development and are pleased Pete has put a smile back on her face. He has been a shoulder to cry on and there for Olivia during this really tough time, the source shared.
Their connection, however, may not have come as a complete surprise. Reports suggest Bradley had harboured suspicions for nearly a year, though Olivia had consistently denied anything beyond friendship.
The timeline of their growing closeness has only fuelled speculation further — from late-night pizza runs and shared hotel stays to cosy appearances at high-profile events like the BRIT Awards and even flirty moments on a yacht in Ibiza last summer.
At the time, Olivia acknowledged the Ibiza photos could be upsetting, admitting her marriage was a “work in progress”. But behind the scenes, cracks were already forming.
Following the split earlier this year, Olivia opened up emotionally about the breakdown, admitting she had been struggling deeply. She confessed she often cried herself to sleep before putting on a brave face each morning, saying vulnerability was not something she found easy to share publicly.
I cry myself to sleep, then business as normal when the alarm goes off at 5am and it has been like that for a long time, she revealed.
Now, with divorce proceedings looming and tensions escalating, what began as a quiet separation has erupted into a full-blown public drama — one that shows no signs of cooling down.
