Olivia Attwood Opens Up About Emotional Turmoil Following Bradley Dack Split
Reality television personality Olivia Attwood has publicly declared she feels she has 'nothing left' following her painful separation from former partner Bradley Dack. The 34-year-old star, who rose to fame on Love Island, has accused the 31-year-old footballer of 'cheating on her multiple times' throughout their decade-long on-and-off relationship.
Instagram Revelation and Marriage Mystery
In an impassioned Instagram post shared on Tuesday, Attwood described feeling utterly 'humiliated' by recent revelations about her relationship with Dack. This emotional outpouring came just days after The Daily Mail reported that there was no official record of their supposed marriage, with sources indicating Attwood chose not to make the union legally binding after uncovering what she described as 'mistruths' in their relationship.
Podcast Confession and Chinese New Year Symbolism
During a candid conversation on her podcast 'Olivia's House' with TikTok star Joe Baggs, Attwood reflected on her emotional state as she attempts to move forward. 'I think we've just entered the Chinese New Year, year of the horse,' she remarked. 'I've left everything behind last year Jesus Christ I've got nothing left.' The transition from the year of the snake to the year of the horse is traditionally seen as symbolizing movement from healing to active living.
Detailed Allegations of Deception
Attwood elaborated on the circumstances that led to the relationship's collapse, writing in her social media post: 'I have stood by Brad for the last ten years during which he lied & cheated on me multiple times. The breakdown of our relationship is because of this.' She expressed feeling like 'a f*****g idiot' for what she now recognizes as years of covering up his behavior, lying to family and friends, arranging therapy sessions, and believing repeated apologies.
The television personality described a pivotal moment in January when she decided to end the relationship after being confronted at a screening of one of her shows with reports of yet another infidelity. 'I decided it was time to finally leave,' she confirmed.
Career Continuation and New Romance
Despite the emotional turmoil, Attwood emphasized her commitment to her professional responsibilities, stating she continues to film television shows, record her podcast and radio program, and shoot campaigns while trying to move forward personally. She also addressed speculation about her career, denying reports that ITV was 'furious' over the wedding revelation and confirming her relationship with the broadcaster remains strong.
In a significant personal development, Attwood has confirmed her new romance with former TOWIE star Pete Wicks, 37. The pair were photographed kissing at London's Flute Bar in Soho earlier in March, following Attwood's separation from Dack in January. A friend of the couple clarified: 'Their passionate romance only started in the last few weeks, since she has split from Bradley, there was no overlap.'
Relationship History and Public Scrutiny
Attwood first found fame on the 2017 series of Love Island, joining the cast after discovering Dack was cheating during their initial relationship. After a brief romance with fellow islander Chris Hughes, she rekindled her relationship with Dack in 2019. ITV subsequently commissioned 'Olivia Meets Her Match,' a documentary series that followed the couple from their 2020 engagement through to what appeared to be their 2023 wedding.
The recent revelation that no legal marriage actually took place has brought renewed public attention to their complex relationship history. Friends of Attwood have expressed support for her new relationship with Wicks, noting he has 'been a shoulder to cry on' during this difficult period and has helped put 'a smile back on her face.'
Dack's Reported Reconciliation
Meanwhile, reports indicate that Bradley Dack has reunited with his ex-girlfriend, Emily Rose Moloney. Sources close to Attwood suggest this development comes as little surprise, with one insider noting: 'After everything Bradley has done, Olivia's friends can't believe he is back with his ex all while he's begging Olivia to take him back.'
The same source revealed that Attwood ultimately ended the relationship after confirming evidence of infidelity on Dack's phone, adding that this was not the first time she had questioned his fidelity during their ten-year partnership.
