Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks have launched a new radio show on KISS, bringing their trademark banter and outrageous friendship to the airwaves. The pair, who met eight years ago at an awards event shortly after Attwood left the Love Island villa, have bonded over their love of partying, verbal abuse, and the colour black.
Attwood, 33, is married to Gillingham FC footballer Bradley Dack, while Wicks, 37, recently moved into a bachelor pad in east London. Despite their public roasting of each other, the duo insist their friendship is built on genuine care and loyalty. 'Liv's best trait is that she's secretly one of the kindest, most intelligent people,' said Wicks. 'She's super intelligent… and she hides it very well! She'd do anything for anyone she cares about.'
The Sunday afternoon show, titled 'The Sunday Roast', will feature drunken stories, celebrity gossip, and plenty of swearing. 'We bond very much over our love of a night out, and that's part and parcel of what the show is about,' said Wicks. 'The Sunday scaries. We'll be living it along with everyone else.'
Attwood, who fronts documentaries for ITV, and Wicks, co-host of the podcast 'Staying Relevant', have a dynamic that works because neither takes offence easily. 'The good thing is neither of us have a line,' said Attwood. 'We're both pretty thick-skinned. That's why it works. Also, the more outrageous it is, the funnier it is.'
Listeners can expect hangover tales and late-night adventures, as the pair admit they never like to end a night early. 'As long as the bar is open, we'll make it a good party,' added Wicks.
