Olivia Attwood Parties Through Divorce Blues with Pete Wicks in London
Olivia Attwood is embracing her newfound single life with vigor following her split from husband Bradley Dack. The 34-year-old ITV host was spotted enjoying a late-night outing in London with her best friend and radio co-host Pete Wicks, 37, showcasing her resilience amid personal turmoil.
A Night Out in Soho
The pair partied with friends at a club in Soho, leaving together in a car just before 3am to return to their Central London hotel. Olivia, ever the fashion icon, turned heads in a pastel-yellow playsuit with delicate white lace trim, complemented by black tights and heels that accentuated her stature. To ward off the February chill, she layered a vibrant red bomber jacket as the group waited for their taxi in the smoking area.
Earlier in the evening, Olivia had celebrated her newly announced partnership with Garnier at The Newman Hotel before joining the group for a more spirited celebration. Her honey blonde hair, initially styled in loose waves, was eventually pulled up into a practical ponytail as the night progressed.
Leaning on a Close Friend
Olivia and Pete, who co-host Kiss FM's Sunday Roast show, were seen engaged in deep conversation multiple times throughout the evening. The former Strictly Come Dancing star has clearly become a supportive shoulder for Olivia during this challenging period. This outing follows speculation last summer when the pair were forced to deny affair rumors after being photographed cozying up on a yacht in Ibiza, which reportedly caused tension with Bradley, 32.
Despite the rumors, Olivia has maintained her close bond with Pete and shows no signs of slowing down. She has thrown herself into both work and social engagements since confirming her separation from the footballer.
Opening Up About Personal Struggles
Last month, after weeks of speculation, Olivia took to her Instagram Story to share a candid statement. She revealed she was unpacking boxes alone in her new London apartment, admitting that "vulnerability is not [her] bag" and comparing sharing personal details on social media to "bleeding in shark-infested waters."
In a rare moment of transparency, the famously sarcastic reality star confessed she was "crying [herself] to sleep" while navigating significant life changes. "I never expected to be moving into this apartment alone. And I'm in over my depth for sure," she wrote.
Addressing her marriage breakdown directly, Olivia emphasized there is no ill will, despite reports suggesting their relationship ended due to a "breach of trust" on Bradley's part. "I just want to be happy. I want Brad to be happy. Just one day at a time. For both of us," she penned.
Moving Forward
Initial reports in January suggested Olivia was "heartbroken" by the end of her marriage. After removing her wedding ring and £200,000 engagement ring, sources now claim the romance is over "for good." An insider told The Sun, "Olivia is already talking about divorce because it is feeling very final and over for her."
"She's worked too hard on her career to let it fall apart because of her relationship going south," the source added. They noted that Olivia, who recently moved into a new London apartment alone, is now "getting her ducks in a row and thinking of the future" and remains "determined to focus on work."
The source also mentioned she needs "space away from Bradley," after spending ten years together. Olivia, who rose to fame on Love Island in 2017, knew Bradley before becoming a household name. They met in 2015 through mutual friends during a night out at the West End club Libertine.
Her entry into the ITV2 villa was initially an act of revenge after he cheated on her. Although she had a brief fling with Chris Hughes on the show, they split shortly after, allowing her to reconcile with Bradley in 2018.
A Wedding That Wasn't Meant to Last
Bradley proposed in late 2019, and after delays due to the pandemic and his injuries, they finally married in June 2023. The couple celebrated extravagantly at London's Bulgari Hotel, with Olivia walking through an archway of 10,000 roses in her £30,000 Galia Lahav dress.
However, the marriage was short-lived. Olivia has already unfollowed Bradley on Instagram, though she retains "Dack" in her display name. In contrast, Bradley has been photographed looking downcast on several occasions and continues to wear his wedding ring.
Olivia, with an estimated net worth of £6 million, is now focusing on her career and personal growth, demonstrating resilience as she navigates this new chapter in her life.
