Pete Wicks, known from the show The Only Way Is Essex, has responded after officially going public with his romance. He’s dating Olivia Attwood, who he works with at Kiss FM and also appears on TOWIE.
For some time, people had been speculating that Olivia and someone else were dating, especially after her separation from her husband, Bradley Dack. Olivia admitted the rumors were true, playfully calling it an “open secret,” but stated she didn’t plan on publicly announcing the relationship herself.
Pete publicly revealed they were dating with an Instagram post, writing, “Looks like I had to be the one to say it.”
Pete explained that when deciding how to share the news on his podcast, Staying Relevant, he asked himself what Liv would want. He shared this with his co-host and close friend, Sam Thompson.
We had talked about it beforehand, and I just decided to take a chance and go for it. The most important thing to me was getting a picture with Liv and making sure I didn’t make her feel uncomfortable.

He jokingly said he’d gladly take all the credit for the music, but the idea actually came from Instagram. He described it as a very simple addition.
“Just, ‘There we go’. Now it’s out it’s fine, we’re good.”

They weren’t in Ibiza just for a vacation; they were shooting the new season of her show, Bad Boyfriends. The show tricks men into thinking they’re going on a fun getaway, then confronts them with their past mistakes.
Back when it premiered in 2024, we at Digital Spy called it “the best new reality show” of that year.
Unlike the carefully crafted and often overly polished scenes of Love Island, Olivia Attwood’s Bad Boyfriends sometimes feels more like a genuine documentary, according to our review.
Seeing glimpses of what happens behind the scenes – like Olivia getting ready or the crew preparing to film – helps us connect with the story. It makes us feel like we’re experiencing everything with Olivia, not just watching it from a distance.
