Olivia Attwood looked like a woman with plenty on her mind — and perhaps someone special on the other end of her phone — as she stepped out in London wearing a huge smile, just days after it emerged that her friendship with Pete Wicks has turned into something far more serious.
The 34-year-old TV presenter was photographed in the capital appearing upbeat and relaxed, grinning at her phone as she strolled through the city in a stylish outfit made up of checked trousers and a green fur coat. With her blonde hair worn loose, Olivia looked effortlessly chic, but it was her glowing expression that drew the most attention.
Her cheerful appearance comes as her romance with Pete Wicks continues to gather momentum. The pair, who have known each other for some time, are said to be in the early stages of dating after their close friendship unexpectedly developed into a new relationship.
Their growing connection was thrust into the spotlight after the couple were seen kissing at Soho bar Flute earlier this month. According to insiders, what began as a strong friendship has now taken a romantic turn. One source said they “have been spending a lot of time together and an unexpected romance has blossomed from friendship.”
The timing has only added to the intrigue, with Olivia moving forward just two months after her split from husband Bradley Dack. The former couple, who married in 2023, ended their relationship in January, and the fallout has continued to unfold in public ever since.
In the days after Olivia’s kiss with Pete came to light, Bradley was reportedly seen without his wedding ring, despite having continued to wear it after the separation. Soon after, fresh claims emerged over what really caused the marriage to collapse.
Sources alleged that Olivia ended the relationship after learning Bradley had been unfaithful. It was claimed she checked his phone and found evidence that confirmed her worst fears. An insider said: “After everything Bradley has done, Olivia’s friends can’t believe he is back with his ex all while he’s begging Olivia to take him back.”
The source continued: “Olivia was trying to protect Brad so never wanted to share what actually happened that caused their split. So here it is – Olivia was told he had cheated on her, so went through his phone and saw evidence that confirmed it.”
Bradley is now believed to have reunited with ex-girlfriend Emily Rose Moloney, making the situation even messier as Olivia appears determined to leave that chapter behind for good.
After years of an on-and-off relationship that began before Olivia first found fame on Love Island in 2017, the presenter now seems focused on moving forward. In recent days, she has made it clear that she wants to “move on” with her life, throwing herself into work while also spending more time with Pete.
The pair have already been seen enjoying major public moments together, including attending the BRIT Awards in Manchester late last month, while continuing to work side by side on their KISS radio show and podcast.
And judging by Olivia’s radiant smile during her latest outing, this new chapter may be bringing her far more happiness than she has had in a long time.
