The former Love Island star has become ITV’s golden girl, but her personal life is a different story after ending her two-year marriage to Bradley Dack
Olivia Attwood has come a long way since she initially appeared on our screens during Love Island in 2017. The 33-year-old has subsequently built a remarkable career, hosting her own television documentary series, managing her own podcast, and establishing herself as a frequent panellist on Loose Women, delivering her witty humour and candid observations.
Although she’s at the peak of her professional success, her personal life tells a very different tale: she’s mending a broken heart following the end of her two-year marriage to professional footballer Bradley Dack, 32.
Since reports of their separation emerged, Olivia has been immersing herself in work after securing several profitable television opportunities, reports the Mirror.
Prior to Olivia’s appearance on BBC The One Show tonight (February 26), we’ve explored her rise to fame, from establishing herself as ITV’s favourite to experiencing relationship turmoil.
Olivia’s remarkable career
Olivia began her career as a model and motorsport grid girl before joining the Love Island villa in 2017, where she finished third.
She subsequently featured in her own reality show with former partner Chris Hughes, Chris and Olivia: Crackin’ On, before participating in programmes including Celebs Go Dating, The Only Way is Essex and The Games.
ITV executives were eager to bring Olivia back to our television screens, as she secured her own programme, Getting Filthy Rich, which broadcast earlier this year. Audiences witness the star exploring the depths of the adult entertainment industry, shedding light on its varied landscape and some unexpected sectors.
Getting Filthy Rich isn’t Olivia’s sole programme; she also presents ITV’s Bad Boyfriends alongside her other ITV show, Price of Perfection.
Olivia has subsequently secured a new reality series, The Heat. The programme, which broadcast on Tuesday (February 24) evening, follows 10 ambitious young chefs as they are transported to Barcelona, where they’ll battle to impress award-winning chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, who is seeking the next rising star.
Olivia’s marriage split
Olivia hasn’t concealed the reality that her relationship with husband Bradley Dack has faced difficulties in recent months, so it might not shock supporters that she has ended her marriage following two-and-a-half years.
It emerged that she ended things with the footballer “due to a breach in trust on Bradley’s side”. The celebrity has subsequently unfollowed him on Instagram, removed her wedding ring, and moved out of the matrimonial home into her own flat.
It seems she hasn’t closed herself off to romance, as she recently disclosed her requirements in a partner. She candidly confessed that she adores being in love and desires a man who puts everything on the line for her.
Speaking to Attitude Magazine, she stated: “Do you know what? I love love and I actually, despite any of my relationships in the past, I’ve never regretted falling in love.”
Describing it as “one of the most unique and pure human experiences”, she contended that “even if it’s with a complete and utter trash bag – in that moment you felt something.”
She further added, “I want obsession. I don’t want someone who feels indifferent about me. Like, love bomb me up. I want the face tattoo on the second date. I want to feel all the feels.”
