Olivia Attwood Opens Up on Divorce Anguish and Brit Awards Appearance
Olivia Attwood, the 34-year-old television presenter, shared a poignant post on Tuesday, expressing that she felt like her "soul had died" during her divorce from footballer Bradley Dack. The couple split in January after three years together, with sources indicating the marriage ended due to Bradley "breaching her trust."
Social Media Vulnerability and Kaley Cuoco Connection
In her heartfelt message, Olivia admitted vulnerability is not her usual style, describing social media as "bleeding in shark infested waters." She revealed crying herself to sleep but maintaining a business-as-usual facade when her alarm rings at 5 a.m. This week, she seemingly hinted at her own split by sharing an interview clip from actress Kaley Cuoco to her Instagram Story.
Kaley, who divorced her ex-husband Karl Cook in 2022, spoke on The Drew Barrymore Show about her lowest point, saying she "thought she was going to die" and felt so depressed she couldn't breathe. She reflected, "I feel like my soul died," and initially vowed never to marry again. Olivia's sharing of this clip appears to resonate with her personal struggles.
Brit Awards Appearance with Pete Wicks
Over the weekend, Olivia was pictured cosying up to her friend Pete Wicks at the Brit Awards in Manchester, as she throws herself into work. The pair, who host a Kiss FM radio show together, were seen leaning in closely amid the noisy surroundings, with Pete speaking animatedly to her. Later in the evening, they appeared to leave the event together in a car, according to pictures published by The Mirror.
This follows recent sightings of Olivia and Pete together in London after her Garnier brand launch event, where they headed off with a group of pals. Last August, they raised eyebrows during a trip to Ibiza, with photos showing Pete's hand on Olivia's thigh as they soaked up the sun on a yacht. At the time, Olivia acknowledged the images upset her husband and described her marriage as a "work in progress."
Addressing the Marriage Breakdown
In her post, Olivia expressed surprise at moving into an apartment alone and feeling "in over my depth." She emphasised her desire for both herself and Bradley to find happiness, taking it "one day at a time." Reports last month claimed the marriage ended after Bradley "crossed a line," leading to the trust breach.
Olivia concluded her message by thanking followers for their support, saying, "I feel your love immensely," and promising to resume normal programming soon. As she navigates this challenging period, her public appearances and social media activity continue to draw attention, blending personal vulnerability with a busy professional schedule.
