Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks were caught in a loved-up display during a sun-soaked break at a luxurious resort on the French Riviera. The couple was photographed locking lips poolside at the exclusive Nikki Beach club in Saint Tropez on Friday 12 June. Poolside beds at the upmarket venue set guests back €950 a day, inclusive of a minimum €650 champagne spend, according to a fellow holidaymaker who snapped the TV favourites mid-snog.
The 32-year-old, seated nearby, noted that former Love Island star Olivia initially appeared less keen on the public displays of affection compared to Pete. Speaking to Talk to the Press, she said: 'She was very cagey towards him and seemed quite cagey in general. At the start, she definitely seemed a bit frosty, he was trying to be a bit more touchy-feely and she was not so much, but then every now and then she was a bit more reciprocal. It might just have been being in a public place. They seemed pretty happy and into each other. I'd say all is going well.'
Romance Blossoms
Former Love Islander Olivia, 35, and TOWIE star Pete, 37, are believed to have begun their romance earlier this year. The duo was previously seen enjoying an evening meal with pals at Darby's in Nine Elms, London, earlier this month, where they were filmed sharing kisses and appearing utterly smitten. It all comes after Olivia's split from footballer Bradley Dack, as she called time on their relationship in January after almost a decade together.
Pete and Olivia were first linked when they were seen hugging on a trip to Ibiza last summer. At the time Olivia was still with husband Bradley and she shrugged off the Pete rumours, saying they were just good friends. She said: 'I get why Brad didn't like it, we were all on the boat, drinking and hugging each other and being best friends. It was family vibes. But if it was the other way around, of course I wouldn't like it either.'
Past Relationship Details
It's since emerged that the pair were never legally married, as the venue where they 'tied the knot' didn't have a wedding license. During their ceremony, held at the five-star Bvlgari Hotel in London's Knightsbridge in June 2023, Olivia and Bradley signed what looked to be a marriage certificate. But the paperwork they signed on the show was apparently fake. Instead, they planned to legally marry six weeks later at a Cheshire registry office. But this never materialised. Less than three years later, the pair split.
In a scathing post on Instagram, Olivia shared she left the marriage in January this year after Bradley allegedly cheated. She said: 'This January, when I was confronted at the screening of one of my shows by someone reporting to me yet another night he had gone back with a random girl – I decided it was time to finally leave. 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.'
Hinting at a new romance in April, she ended the post by saying: 'Yes I'm dating. Yes I'm getting up every single day even when I have cried all night to film the shows I love filming, recording my podcast, record my radio show, shoot campaigns and somewhere in there TRY to move on.'
