Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks have got tongues wagging after they were seen kissing in a candlelit bar
Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks’ pals insist their newfound romance started after the Love Island’s star split from her husband. The Kiss FM duo got tongues wagging this week when they were seen locking lips in a candlelit bar after the Love Island star’s heartbreaking separation from footballer, Bradley Dack, in January.
Pete, 37, and Olivia, 34, have been pals for years, but only recently took their relationship to the next level when they were papped snogging in a sizzling video filmed at a London hotspot. The pair reportedly began their romance at the BRIT Awards on 28 February in Manchester, where they were rumoured to have stayed in the same hotel.

Olivia and Brad split after a ‘breach of trust’ between the former couple, with pals stating that the plucky presenter had been separated from the footballer for weeks when she started dating Pete. A friend told The Sun: “Their passionate romance only started in the last few weeks, since she has split from Bradley, there was no overlap.”
Revealing that Olivia’s friends were pleased their pal now had a smile on her face, they continued: “Olivia’s close friends know about this new development and are pleased Pete has put a smile back on her face. He has been a shoulder to cry on and there for Olivia during this really tough time.
“She has been in the depths of a really horrible break-up and Pete has helped her through it.”
Adding that Olivia was “hurt and vulnerable”, they concluded the pair were taking things slow, adding that there was “no label on it at the moment”.

The TOWIE stars were spotted out together in Soho, London, on Friday night, in a dimly-lit bar, Flute. Their table was strewn with empty glasses, with the loved-up pair cosying up together as they looked at Olivia’s phone.
The couple, who work together on their podcast The Sunday Roast, were then seen locking lips, with friends saying their friendship has turned into an “unexpected romance”.
The bar in question appears to be a favourite of Essex loathario Pete, who has been papped there before kissing Maura Higgins.
It’s claimed that Olivia and Pete started their romance on the night of the BRIT Awards in Manchester, after which they were spotted leaving a hotel together. Newly single Olivia had attended the awards at the city’s Co-op Live Arena with ITV. But she and Pete were seen leaving an afterparty together as photos from the hotel lobby at around 3am showed Pete carrying two large pizza boxes up into one of the rooms.
The Mirror has contacted Olivia and Pete’s reps for comment.
