Olivia Attwood is at the top of her career right now, but her personal life is a completely different story after her split from husband Bradley
Olivia Attwood has come a long way since she first graced our screens on Love Island in 2017. The 33-year-old has since carved out an impressive career, presenting her own series of television documentaries, running her own podcast, and becoming a regular panellist on Loose Women, bringing her sharp humour and honest insights.
Despite being at the top of her career right now, her personal life is a completely different story, as she is currently nursing a broken heart after calling it quits on her two-year marriage to professional footballer Bradley Dack, 32.
Since news of their split broke, Olivia has been throwing herself into work after bagging a number of lucrative TV gigs.
Ahead of Olivia’s appearance on BBC The One Show tonight (February 26), we’ve examined her journey to stardom, from becoming ITV’s golden girl to a relationship breakdown.
Olivia’s impressive career
Olivia initially launched her career as a model and motorsport grid girl before entering the Love Island villa in 2017, where she finished third.
She went on to be featured in her own reality programme with former boyfriend Chris Hughes, Chris and Olivia: Crackin’ On, before appearing on shows including Celebs Go Dating, The Only Way is Essex and The Games.
ITV bosses were quick to get Olivia back on our TV screens, as she landed her own show, Getting Filthy Rich, which aired earlier this year.
Viewers see the star delving into the depths of the adult world, illuminating its diverse arena and some surprising niches. Getting Filthy Rich isn’t the only show featuring Olivia; she also hosts ITV’s Bad Boyfriends and her other ITV programme, Price of Perfection.
Olivia has since landed a new reality show titled The Heat. The show, which aired on Tuesday (February 24) night, follows 10 young and driven chefs whisked off to Barcelona, where they’ll compete to wow award-winning chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, who is searching for the next emerging talent.
Olivia’s marriage breakdown
Olivia hasn’t hidden the fact that her relationship with husband Bradley Dack has been under strain in recent months, so it may not come as a huge surprise to fans that she has now ended her marriage after two-and-a-half years.
It was revealed that she called it quits with the footballer “due to a breach in trust on Bradley’s side”. The star has since unfollowed him on Instagram, removed her wedding ring, and moved out of the marital home and into her own apartment.
It appears as though she’s not shut the door to love, as she recently revealed what she’s looking for in a man. She openly admitted that she loves to be in love and wants a man who lays it all out there for her.
In an interview with Attitude Magazine, she said: “Do you know what? I love love and I actually, despite any of my relationships in the past, I’ve never regretted falling in love.”
Calling it “one of the most unique and pure human experiences”, she argued that “even if it’s with a complete and utter trash bag – in that moment you felt something.”
She added, “I want obsession. I don’t want someone who feels indifferent about me. Like, love bomb me up. I want the face tattoo on the second date. I want to feel all the feels.”
