For Olivia Attwood, life in the spotlight hasn’t been short of drama lately.
The former Love Island star admitted her marriage to footballer Bradley Dack has hit a few bumps in the past six months, especially after photos of her with close friend Pete Wicks in Ibiza made headlines.
Olivia, 34, was quick to clear the air—saying that while she and Brad’s relationship is “not perfect,” they are very much still together.
And as for Pete, she insists he’s nothing more than a good friend and work colleague.
The Ibiza Photos That Sparked Headlines
It all started when 36-year-old Pete Wicks, who Olivia now co-hosts a radio show with, was pictured with his arm around her on a yacht during a party in Ibiza.
Fans quickly speculated about what it meant, while football supporters even chanted at Bradley, 31, during his League Two matches for Gillingham.
The fallout didn’t just hit the tabloids—it reportedly caused tension with Olivia’s former assistant and close friend Ryan Kay, who has since distanced himself from her.
A Marriage That Requires Constant Work
Olivia didn’t shy away from being honest about the challenges.
She explained that both she and Brad have demanding careers that often get in the way of spending time together.
“We never pretend our relationship is perfect,” she admitted.
“We’ve been up, down, left, and backwards. The last six months have been really challenging.
We have to constantly navigate it, and sometimes that’s the boring side of being an adult in a long-term relationship.”
She added that both she and Brad have made mistakes along the way but stressed that what matters is how they keep moving forward together.
Understanding Bradley’s Reaction
On Bradley’s feelings about the Ibiza photos, Olivia was understanding: “I get why Brad didn’t like it.
If the roles were reversed, I wouldn’t either. But it wasn’t that deep—it was just us all having fun on a boat.”
She emphasized that the whole thing was blown out of proportion and that people jumping to divorce rumors was way off the mark.
Life in the Public Eye
For Olivia, criticism is simply part of the job. “I know what I signed up for,” she said.
“People are always going to comment and speculate. My followers know I love to have fun, and I’m not ashamed of that.”
Despite the noise, Olivia insists the drama hasn’t affected her marriage.
She and Brad are now focused on carving out time for each other in between their packed schedules.
Balancing Work and Marriage
Between her roles on Loose Women, This Morning, her radio show with Pete, her own podcast, and her TV projects like The Price of Perfection and Bad Boyfriends, Olivia admits her career is full-on.
But she refuses to give up enjoying life and says that partying doesn’t make her any less committed to her marriage.
Turning Scandal Into Opportunity
Olivia even joked that the Ibiza headlines gave her reality series Bad Boyfriends some extra publicity.
The irony isn’t lost on her, given that Bradley himself cheated early in their relationship—something that shaped her journey into reality TV and, eventually, marriage.
Season Two of Bad Boyfriends
The second season, airing September 14, dives deeper into issues like infidelity, betrayal, and identity.
For the first time, Olivia has introduced a same-sex couple, something she says was important to her personally and culturally.
She wants the show to be relatable, real, and non-judgmental: “I never want my cast to feel like I’m on a pedestal. No one’s perfect.”
The Launch Celebration
Earlier this week, Olivia celebrated the show’s launch with Bradley by her side at a special screening attended by 200 guests.
For her, it was a moment to feel proud of the work she’s put in.
“It’s quite unique,” she said. “We’ve broken the fourth wall, shown behind-the-scenes moments, and created something really raw and different.”
Moving Forward Together
Despite the scrutiny, Olivia insists that she and Bradley are strong, realistic, and determined to make it work.
For her, honesty about the ups and downs of marriage is what keeps them grounded—and what makes her relatable to fans who know that love isn’t always Instagram-perfect.
