Olivia Attwood has sparked concern among fans with a cryptic social media post that appears to reference personal difficulties, coming amid widespread reports of her separation from husband Bradley Dack. The television personality, known for her appearances on Love Island and subsequent ITV projects, shared a poignant video clip on Instagram that has been interpreted as a veiled message about her current emotional state.
Cryptic Social Media Message Fuels Speculation
The former reality star posted a video featuring Angelina Jolie offering advice on navigating challenging times. In the clip, Jolie emphasises the importance of confronting hardship directly, stating: "Go right through it, like right through it. Feel it, be in it, don't avoid it, go completely in it, feel everything and then go right through it and get out of the other end." The actress adds: "Many of these things you don't have a choice, you know it's that, what's that expression? It's how well you walk through the fire, but you walk through it."
Marital Troubles and Reported Separation
This social media activity follows multiple reports that the couple's two-year marriage has ended following what has been described as "a breach in trust" on Dack's part. The 34-year-old television presenter and the 32-year-old professional footballer reportedly faced relationship difficulties throughout the summer, with tensions becoming public after Attwood was photographed appearing close with television personality Pete Wicks during a holiday in Ibiza.
Sources close to the situation suggest the separation has prompted significant personal and professional adjustments for Attwood. The star has reportedly moved into a new London apartment without her husband and has taken steps to manage the public fallout from the relationship breakdown.
Professional Support During Personal Crisis
According to insider accounts, Attwood has enlisted the services of a personal public relations specialist to help navigate the complexities of her separation while protecting her professional career. A source explained: "The situation has been chaotic for months. Olivia didn't know what to do and neither did her agents, so she hired a personal PR."
The same source added: "She's been terrified that her personal life was about to overshadow her professional one. It's been chaos with everyone panicking about how she could get out of her marriage unscathed." The publicist reportedly has established connections with ITV, where Attwood maintains several successful television projects including Olivia Attwood's Bad Boyfriends, Olivia Attwood's Getting Filthy Rich, and Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection.
Mixed Messages on Social Media
Attwood's Instagram activity has presented a contrasting picture in recent days. Alongside the emotional Jolie video, she shared a more upbeat post featuring herself posing next to a London Underground advertisement for her three ITV shows. The caption quipped: "I apologise if this makes your London morning commute even worse."
However, this lighter content was preceded by a more vulnerable video showing the star in her new, sparsely furnished apartment. The footage opened with Attwood sitting on the floor accompanied by text reading: "That dream was planted In your heart for a reason" before cutting to her standing before a mirror in a black hoodie and providing a panoramic view of the empty space.
In the caption, she wrote: "2026.. a new home in the city I was born in." The post attracted supportive messages from fellow celebrities including Maya Jama, who commented "Onwards and upwards", Ella Rae Wise who wrote "you are amazing and don't let no one else tell you any different xxxx", and Georgia Harrison who simply stated "Love you".
Career Continues Amid Personal Transition
Despite the personal turmoil, Attwood's professional commitments appear to remain on track. Her latest series of Getting Filthy Rich has recently been released via ITV, and her social media continues to promote her television work alongside glimpses into her personal journey. The star's approach to managing both her public persona and private struggles reflects the complex balancing act faced by modern celebrities navigating personal crises in the public eye.
