Olivia Attwood has opened up on how she’s feeling amid her rumoured separation from husband Bradley Dack.
It was reported this weekend that the ITV presenter, 34, and footballer Bradley, 32, are ‘taking time apart’ due to an alleged ‘breach of trust’ from the midfielder.
Olivia, who wed the Gillingham player in 2023, was initially said to be ‘heartbroken’, having already endured a ‘really bad summer’ together.
And now the former Love Island star has admitted she’s having ‘blue days’, returning to host her radio show with best pal Pete Wicks on Sunday afternoon.
As the duo’s 2pm Sunday Roast slot kicked off, the podcaster asked Olivia: ‘How are you feeling? What’s the energy like?’
Without addressing her split explicitly, Olivia began: ‘I am actually a bit tired today. This week has felt so long. Actually, this whole month has felt… It just feels like it’s never-ending.’
‘January is like that, though, isn’t it?’, said Pete, to which Olivia admitted: ‘I can’t believe we’re still in January.
‘I was gonna say it feels like a dream… but a nightmare.’
‘It was Blue Monday this week; is that part of it? Are you having a blue month?’, Pete probed.
‘I think I’m just having blue days,’ Olivia then confessed.
Breaking her cover for the first time since her split made headlines, the broadcaster was seen entering the Kiss FM studios earlier today.
Carrying two large coffees, Olivia went makeup-free as she walked alongside Strictly star Pete, 37, but hid her ring finger from view.
Her long blonde tresses were styled in loose waves, and, seemingly in a bid to remain unrecognised by the public, she threw her hood over her head.
However, speculation remains rife over where Olivia and Bradley stand, considering she has unfollowed him on Instagram.
Bradley no longer appears in Olivia’s ‘following’ list on the platform, where she boasts a mighty 2.5million followers.
He is still following her, and Pete also follows Bradley.
Although those hoping for a tell-all social media statement or a juicy podcast episode from Olivia on what went down before the split might be setting themselves up for disappointment.
According to sources, neither she nor Bradley will ‘address this publicly’, however, their ‘friends and family are aware’ of the situation.
The insider added to The Sun on Sunday: ‘Separating has never been an option up until now. Olivia is heartbroken.
‘Olivia and Bradley met over a decade ago, and their lives and families are so intertwined — which has made the decision to split even more devastating.’
While details of how Bradley supposedly ‘crossed the line’ are unknown, Olivia has revealed in the past that he cheated on her.
They first dated before Olivia, a former motorsport grid girl, entered the Love Island villa in 2017, having applied for the show in an act of ultimate revenge after he was unfaithful.
During the ITV2 dating show, she met Chris Hughes, and they struck up a romance, which ended in 2018.
Following their breakup, Olivia and Bradley got back together and filmed a reality series together called Olivia Meets Her Match.
In October 2019, Bradley popped the question, and they wed in a London ceremony four years later.
There’s no denying that, in recent months, the couple’s marriage has gone through a rough patch, with Olivia reportedly ‘in the doghouse’ with her husband after cosying up to Pete on a yacht last summer.
While holidaying in Ibiza with her mate, Olivia nestled into his arms, and Pete placed a hand on her thigh.
Upon returning home, sources claimed Bradley was far from impressed.
‘Bradley’s getting so much stick about the pictures from his teammates,’ one told The Sun.
‘They know Brad and Liv are happily married, but couldn’t resist winding him up about what she’s been getting up to on holiday.
‘Bradley’s tried to laugh it off, but inside he’s fuming about it.
‘He trusts Liv, but Pete having his hands over his wife while she’s wearing a bikini isn’t a great look. He’s livid with her for putting him in this position.’
And just recently, Olivia described herself and Bradley as ‘like passing ships in the night’, appearing on This Morning to promote the new instalment of Getting Filthy Rich.
Host Ben Shephard asked at the end of the interview: ‘You said you want to try and be a better wife this year? New Year’s resolution?’
She replied: ‘Yeah, I said that on Alan Carr’s podcast. I said that in jest, and now people keep bringing it up; I feel like I am going to be held accountable.
‘I don’t like being held accountable.
‘I think last year, we’re very honest, we were like ships in the night, work-wise. Everything else, I’d like to give him an easier time this year if I can.’
The last time Olivia and Bradley were seen together was just nine days ago, attending the premiere of her latest series for ITV.
Reps for Olivia Attwood declined to comment. Reps for Bradley Dack have been contacted for comment.
