Reality television favourites Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks have set tongues wagging after being photographed sharing what appeared to be an intensely intimate dinner in London's upscale Mayfair district. The pair, who have long insisted they are just close friends, were seen deep in conversation and sharing laughs at the exclusive Novikov Restaurant & Bar.
An onlooker reported that the chemistry between the Love Island star and The Only Way Is Essex personality was palpable, describing their body language as "anything but platonic." Attwood, 33, looked chic in a black blazer and trousers, while Wicks, 35, opted for a more casual yet stylish ensemble.
The timing of their dinner date is particularly intriguing given both stars' recent relationship status changes. Attwood finalized her divorce from footballer Bradley Dack just months ago, while Wicks has been openly discussing his search for love on various podcasts and television appearances.
This isn't the first time romance rumours have swirled around the duo. They've frequently been spotted together at events and have collaborated on various projects, including their joint podcast. However, tonight's display of closeness has certainly turned up the heat on speculation.
Fans have taken to social media to share their reactions, with many expressing excitement at the potential pairing. One Twitter user wrote: "They've always had such amazing chemistry - it would make perfect sense!"
Neither Attwood nor Wicks has commented on the rumours as of yet, leaving the public to speculate about whether this Mayfair meeting was simply a catch-up between friends or something more romantic brewing between two of reality TV's biggest names.
