Reality television star and presenter Olivia Attwood has left her social media followers stunned after sharing a graphic picture of herself undergoing an intense cosmetic procedure. The 34-year-old posted an image showing her bare skin looking red and bleeding during a CO2 laser healing treatment just before Christmas.
A Striking Glimpse into Advanced Skincare
In the revealing post, Attwood could be seen wearing a nasal cannula to receive oxygen while having the advanced laser treatment performed. The procedure works by utilising the body's natural healing response, removing damaged outer layers of skin to promote collagen production for a firmer, more youthful complexion.
The former Love Island contestant's husband, 31-year-old footballer Bradley Dack, also appeared taken aback by his wife's appearance during the session. In a follow-up story, Attwood shared a snap of the Gillingham FC player with his back to the camera at the London clinic's reception desk.
She recounted to her followers how Bradley asked her, "You going out with your face like that?" to which she defiantly replied, "Yes and I couldn't give 1 singular f*** about it hunny."
Festive Plans Upended by Football and Moving Chaos
This cosmetic revelation comes during a period of significant upheaval for Attwood. Last week, she documented leaving the £1 million marital home in Cheshire she shared with Dack, as the couple relocates full-time to their London apartment.
The move has been described by Attwood as "horrendous," with many of her possessions still packed in boxes. Compounding the disruption, her husband will be largely absent over the festive period due to football commitments.
As a result, Attwood has decided on an unconventional Christmas. She revealed she will be spending Christmas Day in a hotel located just ten minutes from her new home, accompanied only by her dogs, Lola and Stitch.
A 'Year of Change' Ahead
Speaking to pal Pete Wicks on their podcast, Sunday Roast, Olivia explained her decision. "I feel I physically, mentally needed a break from where we're currently living, because we've got s**t everywhere, boxes, suitcases. I just need to not be there," she said.
She elaborated on the complex moving process, which involved a removal company and help from her parents. Items were distributed between her new central London apartment, long-term storage, a skip, and given away.
Looking beyond the holidays, Attwood has signalled that 2025 will be a 'year of change' for her, having already begun to "shed fake friends" from her life. This follows reports of a fallout with her former best friend and stylist, Ryan Kay.
Despite the chaotic move and solo Christmas plans, Attwood remains optimistic, stating she expects to be fully settled into her new London home by the end of January.
