Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks Share Passionate Kiss in London Bar
Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks have been photographed sharing a passionate kiss in a hotel bar, confirming long-standing rumours of a romance. This development comes just weeks after it emerged that Olivia was leaving her footballer husband, Bradley Dack. The TOWIE stars were spotted out together in Soho, London, on Friday night, in a dimly-lit bar called Flute.
Denials Turn to Public Affection
The couple, who work together on their podcast The Sunday Roast, have been denying rumours for months that they are anything more than friends. However, their public kiss in front of friends at the bar suggests their friendship has evolved into an unexpected romance. A table covered in empty drinks glasses set the scene as the loved-up pair cosied up together, looking at Love Island star Olivia's phone before sharing the intimate moment.
Friends have revealed that their relationship blossomed earlier this month, with one source stating, "They have been spending a lot of time together and an unexpected romance has blossomed from friendship." This marks a significant shift from their previous stance, where they consistently brushed off speculation about their closeness.
History and Connections Add Intrigue
The bar in question appears to be a favourite of Essex lothario Pete, aged 37, who has been photographed there before with Olivia's arch-enemy, Maura. Fans are now speculating about potential jealousy, as Maura had a brief fling with Pete in 2024. This adds a layer of drama to the new romance, with the same bar serving as the backdrop for both relationships.
Meanwhile, the news of Pete and Olivia's apparent new romance follows closely on the heels of Olivia's split from Bradley Dack. While the pair have been friends for years, there is no suggestion of an overlap between the two relationships, indicating that their romance developed after her separation.
Romance Sparked at BRIT Awards
It is claimed that Olivia and Pete started their romance on the night of the BRIT Awards in Manchester. Newly single Olivia had attended the awards at the city's Co-op Live Arena with ITV, but she and Pete were later seen leaving an afterparty together. Photos from the hotel lobby at around 3am showed Pete carrying two large pizza boxes inside, hinting at a cosy night in.
This public display of affection ends months of speculation and denials, solidifying their status as a couple in the eyes of the public and their inner circle. The Mirror has approached spokespeople for Olivia and Pete for comment, but no official statement has been released yet.
