Olivia Attwood and her close pal Pete Wicks have dismissed the rumours surrounding their steamy snap in Ibiza – and now Liv has spoken out about their friendship
Olivia Attwood dubbed close mate Pete Wicks her “twin flame” following their intimate time together in Ibiza. The duo, who present Kiss’ The Sunday Roast, recently jetted back from a wild getaway to the White Isle where Pete was snapped with his arm wrapped around Liv as they chilled on a yacht.
The snaps raised questions and fuelled rumours about Olivia’s marriage to husband Bradley Dack. However, it was disclosed the professional footballer wasn’t bothered by the intimate display whatsoever; rather, he was more worried about his other half’s reckless, boozy behaviour.
For Pete, 36, and Liv, 34, it’s been work as normal in the radio studio since the holiday and, in their recent episode, they both shared their ‘starter packs’ of characteristics they favour. Liv’s collection featured a love for Starbucks and Coke Zero, rescue dogs, tattoos, a wild child at heart and “having no accountability for actions”.
Pete commented: “I’m reading this now and I could be a Liv Attwood.” Liv responded: “We do this all the time. We’re soul sisters. We’re twin flames. We’re the same person.”
Pete’s collection comprised an “unhealthy attachment to cigarettes and alcohol”, no attachments to people due to commitment issues, bad tattoos, suede jackets, off-white jeans, dancing shoes, a man bag and sadness behind the eyes.
Olivia spoke about the Ibiza holiday days after flying back to the UK, revealing to The Sun: “If I had something to say, I’d be saying it on my own [ Instagram ] story. All the gossip and stuff – people message me and go, ‘Oh, have you seen this?’ If I had something to say, I’d be saying it on my own [Instagram] story.”
And, I do, but I’m quite disconnected from that stuff. Because I just think that, if you’re in this industry – and believe me, there are so many wonderful perks, I live a very privileged life – it’s just a sidebar of this job. “I just take it..”
Her husband Brad has kept mum about Liv’s trip, but we’ve heard that her sporadic communication was the real bone of contention for him.
A source revealed: “Brad was really happy she got a blow out because she works so hard, but it just tipped the balance into her going too hard and he was just really worried. “That’s what is at the heart of this, he was annoyed she was being so reckless. “The other thing as part of that is she was barely in touch and so his worrying wasn’t abated at any point.”
For now, Liv is shifting her focus back to her hectic TV schedule, which includes the launch of season two of Bad Boyfriends, set to air on September 14 on ITV2.
Amid the drama, Olivia has admitted she and Bradley are in the process of taking a huge step and letting go of their beloved Cheshire mansion – admitting “it just doesn’t work for us anymore.”
Olivia first gave fans a peek of her Cheshire pad on her telly series Olivia Meets Her Match back in 2020, where she lived with Brad and their two pooches Lola and Stitch. But it’s not been a home filled soley with happy memories. In July, Olivia shared that the house was burgled while she was away working in Spain, but the break-in was foiled by her private security team.
Olivia confessed that over the past year, she and Bradley have barely spent any time at their home, as she’s been busy working in London and he’s been playing for Gillingham Football Club in Kent, leading them to decide to put the house on the market.
She revealed: “The house is going to go on the market very soon. Essentially, I had this flat in London that I was just using as a base for filming. And that’s what it was meant to be, but now we’re living here.”
Speaking to The Sun, Olivia added: “That’s our family home in Cheshire, but we’re not in it. So, we’ve been umming and ahh-ing, because we’re both kind of emotionally holding onto that house. We love it so much. It’s just that Cheshire doesn’t work for us anymore because we’re not there.”
