Reality television sensation Olivia Attwood has laid bare the surprising toll her husband Bradley Dack's relationship with his mobile phone has taken on her mental health and their marriage.
In a remarkably candid revelation, the former Love Island star confessed that the Blackburn Rovers footballer's constant screen time and penchant for public pranks have become a significant source of tension and embarrassment.
The Relentless Buzz Of A Footballer's Phone
Attwood described a near-constant barrage of notifications that plague their home life. "His phone is going off 24/7," she revealed, painting a picture of a device that never rests. The sheer volume of alerts—from messages and emails to social media updates—creates an environment of perpetual interruption, making quiet moments together a rare luxury.
'Embarrassing' Public Antics
Beyond the domestic disturbance, Attwood detailed specific public incidents that left her red-faced. She recounted occasions where Dack's phone habits drew unwanted attention, though she stopped short of detailing the exact nature of these embarrassing antics. The implication is clear: his digital devotion often overrides social etiquette, putting them both in awkward situations.
A Silent Car Journey & A Breaking Point
The strain culminated in a telling incident during a car journey where Attwood felt compelled to issue an ultimatum. The silent treatment she gave her husband following another phone-related incident speaks volumes about the cumulative effect these behaviours have had on their relationship. It was a moment that highlighted the emotional distance technology can create, even between two people in the same vehicle.
More Than Just Annoyance: The Mental Health Impact
Attwood was careful to frame this not as a simple annoyance but as an issue with genuine consequences for her wellbeing. The constant connectivity and lack of digital boundaries have contributed to stress and anxiety, showcasing how modern technology problems can manifest as legitimate mental health concerns in relationships.
The 30-year-old ITVBe personality, who is set to explore modern marriage in her new documentary Olivia Meets Her Match, is now championing the importance of digital detoxes and setting healthy boundaries with technology—lessons learned the hard way through her experience with Dack.
