Olivia Attwood has revealed that her manager stepped in and urged her to be the “bigger person” amid her public dig at ex Bradley Dack’s new girlfriend.
The Love Island star, 35, ended her marriage to the footballer, 32, at the beginning of the year and has since moved on with Pete Wicks. However, this week she targeted Dack’s new partner after he shared an emotional song on Instagram, branding her a “professional seat warmer” and vowing to release messy screenshots.
In a video shared on her Instagram story, she explained that the screenshots will be kept under wraps for now, after a warning from her manager.
Manager Steps In
“So the screenshots are on pause because my manager wanted me to be the bigger person,” she told fans, as she wandered around Selfridges with a pal. “I’m going to have a spontaneous night out but I’m wearing Vans so we’re going to go buy some shoes.”
Attempting to avoid the drama, she instead went on a wild night out to Freedom, where she danced the night away with pals.
Split and Allegations
Olivia announced her split from Bradley in January, two and a half years after they tied the knot at the Bulgari hotel in June 2023. “I have stood by Brad for the last ten years during which he lied and cheated on me multiple times. The breakdown of our relationship is because of this,” she said in a statement at the time. “I was in love with him and the potential I saw in him and wanted always to help him try to be the best version of himself - as I did for 10 years - covering up. Lying to my family and friends. Arranging therapy. Believing the grovelling apologies. I of course now feel like a f***ing idiot. (Especially as more things come to the surface) I never wanted to say any of this.. I find the whole situation utterly humiliating.”
Bradley, who is now dating a woman named Emily, posted a heartbreaking song on social media, just days after Olivia “hard launched” her romance with TOWIE’s Pete.
Social Media Spat
In response, she let loose on her own Instagram page, penning: “I have definitely beat up myself over my poor judgement over the last decade, but I guess I could of spent 10 years as the bit on the side/professional bench warmer, so silver linings I guess. These people get tangled in their own web of lies. All you have to do is sit back and wait. Took seven months of people trying to make me think I was crazy and they are all coming out the woodwork now [sic].”
Later in the day, she teased: “Guys I'm about to get sooooo messy are you ready?” with a string of side-eye emojis, before adding in another post: “Screen shot time...”
