Former Towie star Elliott Wright has sold his Spanish restaurant Olivia’s, months after it was destroyed by a fire. The venue, located in Mijas Costa, had only just reopened following the blaze in April.
Wright had shared videos of the restaurant full of customers celebrating its reopening, with bottles of bubbly being served and music playing. His cousin Jess Wright praised him on Instagram, saying: ‘So immensely proud of my cousin… he’s not only done it in a few months but made it even better.’
The fire, which occurred in the early hours of the morning, came after a difficult period for Wright. His father Eddie died following a battle with Covid-19, and he and his wife Sadie suffered a miscarriage at five months, losing their baby boy.
Despite the challenges, Wright had vowed to rebuild the restaurant ‘big and better than before’. However, he has now sold the business, with the sale reportedly driven by financial difficulties following the fire.
