Reality television personality Olivia Attwood has followed in the footsteps of celebrity icon Kim Kardashian by undergoing stem cell therapy in South Korea. This medical journey comes as Attwood grapples with the emotional aftermath of her separation from footballer Bradley Dack, admitting she feels profoundly "lost" following their split.
Stem Cell Treatment and Social Media Revelation
The thirty-four-year-old star, who recently described herself as "humiliated," shared updates on Instagram this past Sunday. She posted photographs showing her face wrapped up during the innovative stem cell procedure. In her caption, Attwood explicitly credited Kardashian as her inspiration, writing, "Kim Kardashian got stem cell therapy in South Korea so I got stem cell therapy in South Korea (and filmed it for tv ofc)."
According to the National Health Service, stem cell therapy involves harvesting healthy stem cells from either the patient or a donor. These cells are then injected into damaged tissue or directly into the bloodstream to facilitate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, or address various blood disorders. Attwood confirmed she has been busy filming the treatment for an upcoming television show, also sharing a series of behind-the-scenes images from her medical trip.
Kim Kardashian's Pioneering Experience
Last year, SKIMS mogul Kim Kardashian publicly detailed her own stem cell therapy journey, revealing she believed her "body was breaking down" before seeking treatment. Kardashian took to social media to explain how stem cell therapy alleviated chronic pain from a shoulder injury and persistent back issues. She expressed gratitude for the treatment, noting that Muse stem cells, which she received in Mexico due to accessibility issues in the United States, provided immediate and transformative relief.
Emotional Turmoil and Relationship Breakdown
This medical venture follows Attwood's candid revelations on her podcast, Olivia's House, as she attempts to move forward from her tumultuous relationship. The Daily Mail previously reported that there is no official record of a marriage between Attwood and Dack, with sources indicating she chose not to legalize the union after uncovering "mistruths."
In a heartfelt and impassioned social media post, Attwood accused Dack of lying and cheating on her multiple times over their decade-long, on-again-off-again relationship. She described feeling like a "f*****g idiot" for enduring the situation, stating she had covered up his infidelities, arranged therapy, and believed repeated apologies. Attwood explained that the final straw came in January when she was confronted at a screening about another incident, prompting her decision to leave.
New Romance and Career Resilience
Since the separation, Attwood has confirmed a new romance with former TOWIE star Pete Wicks, aged thirty-seven. The pair were photographed kissing in London earlier this March, with friends clarifying the relationship began only after her split from Dack, with no overlap. Attwood emphasized that despite the personal turmoil, she remains committed to her professional endeavors, including filming television shows, recording podcasts, and shooting campaigns.
Meanwhile, reports suggest Bradley Dack has reunited with his ex-girlfriend, Emily Rose Moloney. Sources close to Attwood expressed bewilderment at this development, noting Dack's simultaneous pleas for reconciliation while rekindling an old flame. Attwood's friends highlighted her attempts to protect Dack despite his actions, underscoring the complexity of their decade-long entanglement.
Olivia Attwood first rose to fame on the 2017 series of Love Island, initially joining the cast after discovering Dack's infidelity. After a brief relationship with co-star Chris Hughes, she rekindled with Dack in 2019. ITV later commissioned Olivia Meets Her Match, a documentary series following the couple from their engagement in 2020 up to a seemingly real wedding in 2023, which has since been revealed as unofficial.
