Olivia Attwood has reportedly whisked herself off on a romantic break with Pete Wicks after struggling with her work balance and suffering from burnout. The reality star, who found fame on Love Island, has thrown herself into work following her split from husband Bradley Dack earlier this year.
A Relationship Blossoms
In March, Olivia was said to have found comfort in her friend Pete, reportedly striking up a romantic relationship with the former The Only Way Is Essex star. However, the 35-year-old's busy work schedule has caught up with her, as she revealed that it has heightened her ADHD symptoms.
To combat this, Olivia put herself in a 'time out' to recuperate and start a fresh week, after being warned by those closest to her that she was experiencing burnout.
Social Media Clues
Taking to Instagram, the reality star said: 'I had to put myself in time out over the weekend, actually my team told me I had to lol. ADHD burn out, life, work stuff, empty cup etc etc.' Olivia headed to Estelle Manor, a country house hotel and bride members club in Oxfordshire, which costs around £600 per night.
She shared snaps and videos from her getaway, including a video of a roaring fire in the manor's fireplace. But it quickly became clear that she was joined by Pete, who posted the same fireplace on his own social media page over the weekend. She also shared a glimpse of Pete's dog, Rodney.
One fan said: 'We need more @p_wicks01 content on here @olivia_attwood.' Another penned: 'I love the subtle you & Pete posting pics of the same fire. I love you two.' Meanwhile, a follower typed: 'Interesting why you would lie on your stories about being there by yourself when it looks like the same fireplace on Pete's post!'
Public Reactions
'@p_wicks01 has @olivia_attwood stolen your dog and your pad and pen?' asked an Instagram user. As a social media fan shared: 'Worst kept secret on social media, Liv! We all know you and @p_wicks01 are an item, let us celebrate.'
Pete and Olivia have remained tight-lipped on their romance since they were first spotted enjoying one another's company at the BRIT Awards. Several weeks later, they were seen kissing during a night out in London.
More recently, Pete was on hand to collect Olivia at the airport following a brand trip to Miami with Rochelle Humes and Samie Elishi. Amid the headlines, his close pal, Sam Thompson, couldn't help making a dig at their relationship.
Sam Thompson's Joke
Speaking on an episode of the Staying Relevant podcast, Sam discussed the duo attending Olivia's birthday party over the weekend with Sam's girlfriend, Talitha Balinska. As they chatted, Sam joked that he and Pete had both been partying with their 'other halves.' Pete immediately looked unimpressed at the comment and moved to shut down the topic.
The discussion started by Pete saying: 'Sam, Pippa and I were at a birthday party.' Sam quickly commented: 'I love the way you're taking control of this one, Pete. Pete was there!' 'I was there, Pete was there, Pippa was there, it was literally just us and our other halves.' He moved to correct himself quickly, saying: 'Mine and Pippa's, I mean.' But Pete fired back a stony glare, leaving an awkward Sam to ask 'No?'. Pete sternly responded with a blunt: 'No.'
