Olivia Attwood’s £30k Fairytale Wedding: The Shocking Truth Behind Her ‘Married Life’ with Bradley Dack
On June 3, 2023, Olivia Attwood stepped down the aisle in a stunning £30,000 lace-sleeved gown by renowned Israeli designer, Galia Lahav. It was a picture-perfect day at the five-star Bulgari hotel in Knightsbridge, where the reality star tied the knot with her ‘soul mate’, the former Blackburn Rovers footballer Bradley Dack. The lavish ceremony boasted over 10,000 roses and 25,000 flowers, making it a luxurious no-expenses-spared affair, all captured on camera for her ITV series Olivia Meets Her Match.
With friends and family, including her proud father Kai and mother Jen, watching on, Olivia nervously signed the marriage register, as her fiancé Bradley sat beside her. But behind the glitz and glamour of the televised wedding, a shocking truth has emerged: there is no official record of the marriage.
Despite viewers witnessing Olivia and Bradley sign what appeared to be their marriage certificate, it has been revealed that the union was never registered with the General Register Office, the official archive for all marriages and civil partnerships in England and Wales. This startling revelation casts doubt on the authenticity of the entire wedding.
ITV, who had heavily invested in Olivia’s rise as a TV personality following her appearance on Love Island in 2017, even commissioned a 17-episode reality show chronicling Olivia’s supposed journey to marriage. However, sources close to Olivia claim that the wedding was all about the cash, with one insider describing the entire spectacle as “a sham.”
The pal further explained that although Olivia and Bradley had intended to make their marriage official six weeks after the wedding day, the venue did not have a marriage licence at the time. But even after six weeks, Olivia discovered “mistruths” that led her to pause completing the necessary paperwork, ultimately leaving their union in limbo.
Meanwhile, just weeks after the wedding, Olivia was seen locking lips with her KissFM co-host Pete Wicks in a Soho hotel, sending fans into a frenzy. This sparked speculation about her relationship with Bradley, which had already been surrounded by tension in their reality show.
Clues to the non-marriage were also revealed in the show itself, as eagle-eyed viewers noticed that the document Olivia and Bradley signed appeared to be blank, instead of an official Marriage Schedule, which contains critical details such as the names, occupations, and location of the marriage.
In the aftermath, Olivia’s fans were left heartbroken, with one source saying, “Can you believe anything Olivia tells us anymore? What a huge lie to tell your fans. What a joke.” Despite the backlash, Olivia and Bradley have continued to promote the illusion of marriage in interviews and podcasts, even after the wedding was revealed to be a sham.
The drama continued as Olivia admitted to feeling “traumatised” by the wedding day itself, while Bradley, in his appearances on television, has downplayed the true nature of their relationship. Olivia had previously stated, “I’m an open book” about her relationship, but now it seems that her fans are questioning everything they thought they knew about the couple’s “fairytale” marriage.
The couple’s elaborate wedding was part of a lucrative reality TV deal, but with the marriage now exposed as a ruse, ITV may have to address the fallout from the deception. Olivia’s attempt to use her marriage for career gain has left fans stunned, while Bradley’s response to the scandal has been minimal—his club, Gillingham, simply stating, “no comment.”
The final twist came as Olivia was once again seen with Pete Wicks, only seven weeks after the “divorce” announcement. As the drama unfolds, the question remains: Was Olivia’s journey to “marriage” ever real? The answer might be more complicated than anyone imagined.
