Olivia Attwood reveals real reason Bradley Dack won’t be at Pride of Britain

Olivia Attwood will be attending the Mirror’s Pride of Britain Awards later today – but her husband Bradley Dack will not be joining her on the red carpet, or inside the ceremony

Olivia Attwood won’t be joined by her husband, Bradley Dack, at the Pride of Britain Awards. The reality star has been open with fans over the past few weeks, admitting that their marriage hasn’t been completely peaceful.

Just last week, the pair were seen engaging in a tense exchange at a swanky London restaurant where they had been dining. But today, she was seen leaving a radio studio without her wedding ring – hours before walking the red carpet at the Mirror’s annual event, celebrating the nation’s unsung heroes.

But the Mirror understands Olivia will be walking the red carpet and attending our event on her own, without Bradley by her side. This is due to Bradley’s footballing training schedule, and he wouldn’t make it to JW Marriott Grosvenor House London in time.

Olivia looked unrecognisable as she left the Kiss FM studios today. The former Love Island star appeared to be deep in thought as she walked out of work, wearing a black tracksuit. The 34-year-old scraped her blonde hair back off her face with a black headband as she carried her expensive Hermes Birkin bag in her hand.

The pair tied the knot in 2023 at the Bulgari hotel in Knightsbridge having known one another for almost a decade. But Olivia recently opened up about their marriage – and Bradley’s reaction to seeing her cosying up to Pete Wicks in Ibiza.

She stated that while their marriage isn’t “perfect”, she and Bradley are very much still a couple and that she and Pete are simply just friends, as well as colleagues. “Me and Brad never pretend to have a perfect relationship, we have been up, down, left, backwards, and the last six months have been really challenging for us”, she said.

Olivia explained that she and her husband prioritize their relationship because they frequently have to “navigate” it. We constantly have to work at it, she told the Daily Mail, and that’s the only way to describe the “boring side” of being an adult in a long-term relationship.

The actress explained that she was aware of Bradley’s dislike of his and Pete’s portraits and that she would not have appreciated it if she had seen images of him and another woman. Olivia and Bradley’s relationship is “at a crossroads,” according to sources.

They are at a crossroads, according to a source. Brad wants children, but Olivia won’t say when she will start trying because she’s frustrated. He worries that because he wants to be a father, she will never be ready. It’s obviously very concerning because their marriage will eventually take them on entirely different paths. If they can’t compromise, there is a concern that their relationship won’t rekindle.

Olivia made an Instagram announcement just last week. One person inquired, “Where the hell is Brad?” having noticed that her social media posts had noticed that he had not been much of a part of her. Olivia responded, “I swear he’s alive. 10 of us. There have been many changes. I’m not a faker, and my marriage is frikin’ hard (no one wants to hear that phrase out loud).

Sabrina Carpenter addresses ‘misconceptions’ of controversial ‘anti-feminist’ album cover

Short n ‘ sweet pop star Sabrina Carpenter addressed the widespread controversy over her “anti-feminist” album cover on Saturday Night Live – but with a cheeky twist

Pop superstar Sabrina Carpenter put to bed some “misconceptions” around her album cover controversy on a recent episode of Saturday Night Live (SNL).

As a first-time host of SNL, the Grammy winner decided to address the backlash around her photo cover for her latest album, Man’s Best Friend – but with an on-brand cheeky twist.

The cover showed the singer all-fours getting her hair pulled by a man in a suit, and sent shockwaves online when it was first released with her album announcement back in June.

While some considered the cover to be perfectly in line with the 26-year-old’s tongue-in-cheek branding, others found the photo, shot by Bryce Anderson, to be offensive and degrading towards women – even labelling the star a “bad feminist” for how she chose to depict her sexuality.

In response to the backlash, Sabrina released an alternate album artwork, which she said was “approved by God”. The new image showed her holding onto the arm of a suited man instead, which was decisively less provocative than the original.

However, on SNL, the pop singer decided to address the Internet kerfuffle once more. “Some people got a little freaked out by the cover,” she began, making reference to fan concerns that the image was anti-feminist. “I’m not sure why? It was just this: me on all fours, with an unseen figure pulling my hair.”

She continued: “But what people don’t realize is that’s just how they cropped it. If you zoom out, it’s clearly a picture from the 50th anniversary special of Bowen]Yang] helping me up by the hair — after Martin Short shoved me out of the buffet line, saying something like, ‘ Daddy need his mini quiche. ‘”

However, the jokes didn’t stop there. Espresso singer also added she wanted to “clear up some misconceptions” about her public persona.

“Everyone thinks of me as this horned-up pop star, but there’s really so much more to me”, she said. “I’m not just horny. I’m also turned-on, and I’m sexually charged, and I love to read. My favourite book is the encyclopaedia. It’s so big, and it’s hard”.

Online, the reaction to the sketch has been mostly positive, with commenters on X praising her for being a “natural” on the comedy show. “I love how she refuses to give proper explanation for this album cover, she’s very funny”, another wrote.
