Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood’s Rumoured Romance Draws Attention Amid Past Relationship Complication
The emerging relationship between television personality Pete Wicks and broadcaster Olivia Attwood is attracting significant public attention, but their budding romance may be complicated by a connection from Wicks’ past.
Wicks, a former star of The Only Way Is Essex, was recently photographed sharing a kiss with Attwood before the pair were seen leaving a hotel together following the Brit Awards. The images quickly sparked speculation that the long-standing friendship between the two had evolved into something more romantic.
However, fans have also pointed out that Wicks previously dated Amber Davies, one of Attwood’s closest friends. Attwood and Davies formed their friendship while appearing on the reality series Love Island in 2017 and have remained close ever since.
Reports from 2018 revealed that Wicks and Davies had a brief romance after several weeks of meeting privately. At the time, Davies shared — and quickly deleted — an Instagram Story showing the pair kissing. Witnesses also claimed the two had been spotted on dates, including dinners in Essex and a cinema outing.
Sources close to Wicks later suggested he was reluctant to enter a serious relationship at that time, having recently experienced a difficult breakup. As a result, the relationship with Davies did not progress further.
Although the romance ended years ago, Wicks’ growing closeness with Attwood could create an awkward situation. According to insiders, Davies understands the intense public scrutiny that comes with dating Wicks and may feel uneasy seeing her friend enter a similar situation.
Meanwhile, friends of Wicks and Attwood say their relationship developed naturally. What began as a close friendship has reportedly evolved into a romantic connection as the two have spent increasing amounts of time together.
The story has drawn even more attention following Attwood’s recent personal revelations. In a statement shared online, she confirmed that her long-term relationship with footballer Bradley Dack ended after years of alleged infidelity.
While Attwood did not mention Wicks directly, she acknowledged that she has started dating again. Against this backdrop, the pair’s public displays of affection have intensified speculation about the future of their relationship.
