Celebrity personality Olivia Attwood, 35, has revealed her plans to marry again as she appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox, reflecting on the painful end of her first marriage to footballer Bradley Dack, 32. Speaking candidly to her mother, Jennifer, Olivia admitted she never anticipated her wedding to Bradley would turn out so badly, despite the huge ITV ceremony and fanfare surrounding the nuptials.
“It’s been a lot to process,” Olivia confided. “I didn’t think my first marriage would be amazing, but I didn’t think it would be that bad. I’ve decided now I am going to get married a few times, or at least get engaged a few times, because I like the ring!” Her humour and openness offered a glimpse into the resilience she’s cultivated in the months following the breakdown of her relationship.
The Fallout From a High-Profile Split
Olivia and Bradley’s split in January 2026 shocked fans, particularly as Olivia soon accused him of multiple acts of cheating during their relationship. While the wedding itself was grand, the couple never legally formalized their union. The breakdown of the relationship has left Olivia reflecting on the years she devoted to supporting Bradley, often at her own expense.
“I stood by Brad for the last ten years during which he lied and cheated on me multiple times,” Olivia wrote on social media. “I was in love with him and I wanted to help him be the best version of himself. I arranged therapy, believed grovelling apologies, and covered up mistakes. I lied to my family and friends. I of course now feel like a f*****g idiot, especially as more things come to the surface. I never wanted to say any of this. It’s utterly humiliating.”
Despite the public nature of her heartbreak, Olivia has thrown herself into work, pursuing opportunities that allow her to maintain her independence and focus on her career. She is determined to reclaim her narrative, balancing high-profile television appearances with her radio and podcasting commitments, while slowly moving forward in her personal life.
Celebrity Gogglebox: Sharing Life With Family
On Celebrity Gogglebox, Olivia allowed viewers a more intimate glimpse of her life post-split. Filming alongside her mother Jennifer, she spoke candidly about the challenges of watching intimate scenes on television with family nearby. “Oh, they’re not going to start s****ing and I’ve got to watch this next to you?” she exclaimed, only to be met with her mother’s cheeky response: “I bet Danny Dyer is alright in the sack, right? He must know his way around the bedroom.” These lighthearted moments contrasted sharply with the serious reflections on her marriage, highlighting Olivia’s ability to mix humour with honesty.
During the show, the pair also watched popular ITV series Rivals, offering witty commentary and playful banter, giving fans both entertainment and insight into Olivia’s close bond with her mother.
New Romance and Life After Bradley
Since her split, Olivia has also found love again. She began a romance with longtime friend Pete Wicks in March 2026. The couple have been spotted on several outings, including a getaway to St Tropez, sparking rumours of a blossoming relationship. While Olivia has moved cautiously, she is open about her desire for happiness and connection after the painful end of her first marriage.
“January was the breaking point,” Olivia explained. “When I was confronted at the screening of one of my shows with yet another story about Bradley, I realized it was time to leave. I’m not losing my job, I’m not pulling the wool over anyone’s eyes. Yes, I’m dating. Yes, I’m moving forward.”
Her dedication to her career remains unwavering. Even on days when she has been emotionally drained, she has continued to film television shows, record podcasts, and host her radio show, proving her resilience and professionalism. “I get up every day, even when I’ve cried all night,” she admitted. “Somehow I manage to do the things I love while trying to rebuild my life.”
The ITV Wedding Scandal
The fallout from Olivia and Bradley’s high-profile wedding has continued to generate discussion. Olivia addressed the so-called “fake wedding scandal,” denying any attempt to deceive fans or the media. She maintains that while the ITV ceremony was public and celebrated, the couple never formalized their marriage legally.
The incident placed a spotlight on both Olivia and Bradley, drawing scrutiny from viewers and the media. Olivia, however, has insisted that her focus is on truth, transparency, and personal growth, rather than letting past events define her future.
Family Support and Perspective
Family support has been central to Olivia’s recovery. Her mother, Jennifer, has been a constant source of encouragement, offering both levity and perspective. Olivia’s interactions with her mother on Celebrity Gogglebox reveal the warmth and understanding that underpin their relationship, allowing Olivia to navigate her challenges with both humour and honesty.
“The show is a bit of fun, but it also reminds me how important it is to have someone you can trust, someone who knows the real me,” Olivia said. This close bond has helped her process her feelings about Bradley and look forward to a future unburdened by the past.
Looking Ahead: Marriage, Career, and Growth
Despite her previous heartbreak, Olivia is optimistic about the future. She openly states her intent to marry again, embracing the joy of love while maintaining her independence. The desire to experience engagement and marriage on her own terms highlights Olivia’s resilience and determination to reclaim control of her personal life.
Professionally, Olivia continues to thrive. Her presence on Celebrity Gogglebox, alongside appearances on various reality shows, podcasts, and radio programmes, underscores her versatility as a media personality.
