Reality television star Olivia Attwood has publicly addressed a deeply personal and unsettling moment from her recent ITV documentary, Olivia Marries Her Match, confirming that a question about her fiancé Bradley Dack's fertility was both unexpected and off-limits.
The former Love Island contestant took to her Instagram Stories to respond to a flood of messages from concerned viewers who were shocked by the invasive line of questioning. The moment occurred as the couple prepared for their wedding, with a producer asking about the potential need for IVF due to Dack's past injury.
‘It Wasn’t a Conversation For the Show’
Attwood clarified that the topic was not something she and Bradley had ever discussed on camera. "The question that was aired around Bradley's fertility was not a conversation that was had on the show," she stated. She explained that the question was posed by a producer "inappropriate[ly]" during a microphone fitting, a moment she describes as a private, off-guard exchange that should never have been broadcast.
She expressed her frustration, noting that while she understands the nature of reality TV, this particular inquiry crossed a line. "It was invasive for Brad... and not a conversation we have ever had on camera."
Viewer Outrage and Support
The scene prompted immediate backlash from the audience. Many took to social media to express their dismay, calling the question "disgusting," "out of order," and a blatant "invasion of privacy." Fans praised the couple's class in handling the situation but were united in their criticism of ITV for including the private moment in the final edit.
Attwood confirmed that the moment was a sore point, acknowledging the viewers' accurate reading of the situation. Despite this, she expressed overall happiness with the documentary and gratitude for the supportive response to the show.
A Happy Ending Despite the Drama
The documentary followed the couple's journey to their lavish wedding in London, which was ultimately a joyous celebration. Attwood concluded her message by thanking fans for their support, focusing on the positive outcome of their special day.
