Olivia Attwood has publicly confirmed her separation from husband Bradley Dack, issuing a raw and emotional statement that reveals her profound heartbreak. The ITV presenter, 34, married Gillingham footballer Bradley, 32, in 2023 after first meeting in 2015, but their decade-long relationship has now come to an end.
Emotional Instagram Confession
Breaking her silence after initial reports of their split, Olivia took to her Instagram Story on Saturday afternoon to share her feelings. She posted a photo of stacks of boxes in her new London property, having already moved out of the marital home.
'I keep opening Instagram to post but I don't know what to say or do ? lol', she began, before admitting that vulnerability doesn't come naturally to her. Olivia described being open on social media as akin to 'bleeding in shark-infested waters'.
Nightly Tears and Morning Routine
In a particularly poignant revelation, Olivia confessed: '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 added that she 'never expected to be moving into this apartment alone' and feels 'in over my depth for sure'.
Addressing the breakup directly, she wrote: 'I want to be happy. I want Brad to be happy. Just one day at a time. For both of us. & anyone else who needs to read this.' The former Love Island star concluded by promising normal programming would resume soon and thanked followers for their support.
Relationship History and Recent Tensions
The couple's relationship has faced public scrutiny before. Last summer, Olivia found herself 'in the doghouse' after photos emerged of her cosying up to best friend and radio co-host Pete Wicks during an Ibiza yacht trip. An insider revealed Bradley was 'livid with her for putting him in this position' despite trying to laugh it off publicly.
Interestingly, Olivia originally applied for Love Island in 2017 as an act of revenge after Bradley cheated on her. After leaving the villa and splitting from Chris Hughes, she reconciled with Bradley, who proposed a year later. They married in a London ceremony almost three years ago.
Social Media Fallout
Olivia has already taken practical steps indicating the separation's permanence. She has removed her wedding ring and unfollowed midfielder Bradley on Instagram. His last post remains public - a December 31, 2025 message featuring loving photos with the caption: 'let's make 2026 even better. Happy New Year Everyone' - which has aged poorly given recent developments.
The last public sighting of the couple together was just weeks ago at the premiere of Olivia's latest series. While the exact reasons for their split remain unclear, sources previously indicated Olivia felt there had been a 'breach of trust' from her husband.
Celebrity Support and Moving Forward
Fans and famous friends flooded Olivia's Instagram comments with supportive messages. Maya Jama commented 'Onwards an upwards ?', while Myleene Klass added 'you go girl x' and GK Barry wrote 'So deserved queen'.
Olivia had previously hinted at her distress during her radio show, describing January as 'a nightmare' and having 'blue days'. Initial reports suggested neither party would speak publicly about their divorce, with friends and family already aware of the situation.
As Olivia navigates this difficult transition, living alone in her new London property and adjusting to single life after a decade with Bradley, she remains focused on taking things 'one day at a time' while maintaining her professional commitments and connection with supporters.
