Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood's Secret Romance Revealed in London Hotel Bar Kiss
In a dramatic turn of events, reality television stars Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood have been photographed sharing a passionate kiss at a London hotel bar, definitively confirming their romantic involvement just weeks after Attwood's separation from her husband, footballer Bradley Dack. The intimate moment occurred at the Flute Bar in Soho on Friday night, with images obtained by The Sun showing the pair locking lips amidst a group of cheering friends.
From Friendship to Romance: A Timeline of Events
Pete Wicks, aged 37, and Olivia Attwood, aged 34, had previously maintained they were merely close friends, but this public display of affection suggests otherwise. According to sources, their romantic fling is believed to have commenced towards the end of February, shortly after Attwood's marriage breakdown. An onlooker reported that the couple partied at the Flute Bar for approximately three and a half hours, with the kiss occurring around 10pm, followed by Attwood screaming in delight and punching the air in celebration.
Notably, this is the same venue where Pete Wicks was spotted kissing Olivia Attwood's rival, Maura Higgins, in 2024, adding an intriguing layer to the narrative. A friend of the couple emphasised that their relationship only blossomed in recent weeks, stating unequivocally, 'Their passionate romance only started in the last few weeks, since she has split from Bradley, there was no overlap.'
Support During a Difficult Period
Insiders reveal that Pete Wicks has been a crucial source of support for Olivia Attwood during her challenging separation from Bradley Dack. The couple arrived at the bar around 8:30pm and enjoyed drinks with friends until midnight. A close associate commented, '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.'
The friend further elaborated, 'She has been in the depths of a really horrible break-up and Pete has helped her through it.' This sentiment aligns with Attwood's own recent social media posts, where she expressed vulnerability, mentioning crying herself to sleep and navigating significant life changes alone.
Background of the Split and Previous Encounters
Olivia Attwood split from footballer Bradley Dack, aged 32, in January after three years of marriage. Sources indicate the relationship ended due to Dack allegedly 'breached her trust.' Prior to this confirmed romance, Attwood and Wicks had raised eyebrows with their close behaviour. They were seen cosying up at the BRITs, appearing to leave the event together, and were photographed in London after her Garnier brand launch event.
Additionally, last August, photos emerged from a trip to Ibiza showing Pete Wicks with his hand on a bikini-clad Olivia Attwood's thigh aboard a yacht. At the time, Attwood acknowledged the images might have upset her then-husband, describing her marriage as a 'work in progress.'
Recent Activities and Attempts at Privacy
The couple has made efforts to maintain privacy amidst growing speculation. Earlier this month, they attempted to go incognito in Manchester, departing a hotel mid-morning with luggage after reportedly carrying two pizzas to Wicks' room at 3am the previous night. Despite these attempts, their public appearances together have fueled rumours, culminating in the definitive kiss captured in London.
Representatives for both Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood have been contacted by the Daily Mail for comment, though no official statements have been released at this time. As the story develops, fans and observers are keenly watching this new chapter in the lives of these prominent television personalities.
