Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks have finally addressed the awkward elephant in the room — and fans are loving every second of it. 😳 The pair have revealed they were not invited back on this year’s KISS Radio Ibiza trip, just one year after they were pictured looking very cosy together on a yacht during the same sun-soaked getaway.
The timing could hardly be more dramatic. Last year’s Ibiza trip sparked a storm after Olivia and Pete were seen partying together, with their close display raising eyebrows because Olivia was still married to footballer Bradley Dack at the time. Fast forward a year, and the former Love Island star and ex-Towie favourite are now reportedly dating after being spotted kissing in a bar in March. 💋
Speaking on their Sunday Roast podcast, Olivia decided it was time to confront the mystery head-on. “Pete, I can’t believe we haven’t actually addressed the elephant in the room,” she said, before revealing that neither of them had made the guest list for KISS Radio’s latest Ibiza opening party trip.
“I wasn’t sure how to address it but basically… this year we haven’t been invited back to Ibiza, Pete,” she added, with the kind of dry humour fans have come to expect from her. 😂
Pete, never one to miss a chance for a cheeky comeback, admitted he was “disappointed,” joking that he did not know whether their behaviour last year had cost them the invite. “I don’t know if it was our performance last year or what we did but we have been put on the bench,” he said.
The reality star then revealed they had effectively been replaced, explaining that Tyler West and Chloe Burrows had been sent to Ibiza instead. Olivia’s response was priceless: “Yeah, I can’t imagine why we weren’t invited…” ⚡
The remark sent fans straight back to last year’s headlines, when Olivia and Pete’s close friendship appeared to cross into something much more intriguing. Their yacht snaps caused a stir at the time, especially because Olivia’s marriage to Bradley had not yet fully faded from the public conversation. What once looked like scandalous speculation now seems to have become part of a much bigger slow-burn romance.
The pair have known each other for more than a decade, but recent months have seen them drop increasingly obvious hints that their friendship has turned into something deeper. Olivia recently appeared on Loose Women, where she spoke about relationships and said she “loves love,” adding that it is “great to fall in love and to be in a relationship.” 💕
Still, in classic Olivia style, she did not give too much away. She also stressed the importance of maintaining friendships outside romance, saying those relationships may be the ones that last your whole life. It was a careful answer — but fans were quick to read between the lines.
Pete has been just as coy. During an episode of his Staying Relevant podcast with best friend Sam Thompson, he became visibly flustered when Sam teased him about being pictured with Olivia at Heathrow Airport. When asked whether he regularly visits the airport even when he is not flying, Pete joked that he only goes there for coffee, claiming there is a very good Caffè Nero. ☕😂
Sam, clearly not buying it, pointed out that Heathrow is quite far from Pete’s home. Pete then leaned into the joke, saying the “coffee is worth it” — a comment many fans interpreted as a not-so-subtle reference to Olivia.
When Sam tried to push him into admitting whether he was in love, Pete stumbled hilariously, saying: “I love girls. No, no not loads of girls, I love girl…” before completely losing his words. For a man usually armed with charm and sarcasm, it was a rare moment of total romantic chaos. 😭
Now, with their Ibiza “snub” out in the open, Olivia and Pete appear to be turning past controversy into comedy. Instead of avoiding the awkward history, they are laughing about it — and that may be exactly why fans are so invested.
Their chemistry has always been playful, sharp and slightly dangerous, which makes every little comment feel loaded. Whether they are joking about being benched, dodging love confessions or pretending airport coffee explains everything, Olivia and Pete know how to keep people watching.
One thing is certain: they may not have made the Ibiza guest list this year, but they have absolutely made themselves the headline. 🚤🔥
