Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood Go Public
Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood have officially confirmed their relationship by posting a series of romantic black-and-white photos from their holiday in Ibiza on Instagram. The former TOWIE star, 37, and Loose Women panellist, 35, who rose to fame on Love Island, have been rumoured to be dating since Olivia split from footballer Bradley Dack earlier this year.
Instagram Announcement
In a post shared on Thursday night, Pete captioned the images: "I guess someone has to go first…IBIZA." Fans quickly flooded the comments with congratulations. One wrote: "Truly happy for them both," while another said: "I’ve said for years you are the perfect match for each other! Dream team." A third fan commented: "What a launch [rocket emoji] We love to see it!" and a fourth added: "Honestly couldn’t be happier for two people I don’t know!"
Podcast Revelations
During the latest episode of Pete’s Staying Relevant podcast, he was absent due to the holiday, leaving co-host Sam Thompson to interview Scott, Adam, and Ryan Thomas solo. Ryan dropped a bombshell, revealing that he had asked Olivia for gossip before the show. "I asked my friend if she had any gossip for me because I'm going on Staying Relevant," the former Coronation Street actor confessed. "This friend of mine, you might know her, she's called Olivia Attwood."
"I said, ‘Yes Liv, me and the boys are doing Staying Relevant today, got anything on Pete we can talk about?’ She went, ‘Hi honey, what are you thinking? He sent me a hundred red roses to my set in Ibiza, because he's gone soft.’" Olivia also added: "He won’t go for a poo in the hotel room because he thinks I’m going to take a picture of him - so he takes a s**t in the lobby instead. He’s such a niche guy, very complex."
History and Future Plans
The pair have known each other for nearly a decade, having met at the Specsavers Awards in London in 2017. However, their bond grew stronger after Olivia’s split from Bradley Dack at the start of the year. An insider claimed that their relationship has deepened, and they may even move in together soon. "Olivia is completely smitten with Pete and she really wants everyone to see it," the source said. "They’ve got sexual chemistry and can’t keep their hands off each other. Pete is definitely helping her heal her heartbreak."
"Olivia and Pete are having a summer of love," the insider added. "People never thought this relationship would work out, but it’s the real thing. Olivia wants it to be very public and to be seen. She’s never felt happier."
