Olivia Attwood is reportedly in hot water with her husband, footballer Bradley Dack, after photos surfaced of her getting cozy with her best friend Pete Wicks.
The pictures, showing Pete’s hand resting on Olivia’s thigh, were shared in a WhatsApp group by Bradley’s teammates at Gillingham FC, causing quite a stir.
Bradley Dack, 31, has been the subject of teasing from his Gillingham FC teammates after photos of his wife Olivia partying on a yacht in Ibiza surfaced.
While Bradley was at home training for Saturday’s match, his teammates couldn’t resist poking fun at the intimate snaps of Olivia and Pete.
An insider shared with The Sun that although Bradley has tried to brush off the jokes, he’s deeply frustrated and “fuming” about the situation.
An insider revealed that while Bradley trusts Olivia, seeing Pete’s hand on her while she was in a bikini “isn’t a great look” and has left him “livid.”
In the photos, Olivia, dressed in a black bikini, was seated between Pete’s legs as they relaxed on holiday. The two were watching a friend who had gone topless before taking a plunge into the sea. The situation has clearly left Bradley frustrated, feeling put in an awkward position.
A source close to Olivia insisted there is no problem between her and Bradley. They explained that Olivia and Pete have been close friends for years and were in Ibiza for the KISS weekend, where they recorded their podcast live.
The source added that the boat also included their podcast producer and team, clarifying that there was no romantic involvement.
“They were just letting off steam!” the source added.
Olivia and Pete have been close friends since meeting on The Only Way Is Essex in 2017. To promote their new Kiss FM radio show, The Sunday Roast, they previously shared a series of playful “Top Secret” WhatsApp messages. In these exchanges, Pete humorously referred to Olivia as his “work wife.”
Pete has acknowledged his “bad boy persona” and, during an appearance on Olivia’s Staying Relevant podcast, admitted that maintaining long-term relationships has been a struggle for him.
Meanwhile, Olivia recently shared that being married to a footballer isn’t for the faint-hearted, though she noted, “He’s very relaxed and low maintenance.”
Olivia first gained fame on Love Island in 2017, where she entered after dumping Bradley for cheating. She made it to the final with Chris Hughes but later rekindled her romance with Bradley. The couple tied the knot in June 2023 with Olivia wearing a £30,000 wedding dress.
Olivia recently opened up about the challenges of being married to a sportsman, saying: “I wouldn’t recommend anyone, genuinely, to date an athlete of any description. There’s a lot that comes with it that could age you quite severely.”
