PETE WICKS AND OLIVIA ATTWOOD CONFIRM RELATIONSHIP ON INSTAGRAM

Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood have announced their relationship publicly by posting a series of photographs from Ibiza on Instagram. Wicks, a former TOWIE cast member, shared black-and-white images from their holiday with the caption "I guess someone has to go first…IBIZA". Attwood, a Loose Women panellist and Love Island alumna, has been rumoured to be dating Wicks since her split from footballer Bradley Dack. The couple's announcement prompted responses from followers, with commenters stating they were happy for the pair.

The pair have known each other for nearly a decade, having met at the Specsavers Awards in London in 2017. During an episode of Wicks's podcast Staying Relevant, Ryan Thomas, a former Coronation Street actor and guest on the show, revealed that Attwood had disclosed details about their relationship. Thomas stated that Attwood told him Wicks had sent her one hundred red roses to her set in Ibiza. Wicks was absent from that podcast episode owing to his holiday.

The relationship confirmation came after the couple's recent trip to Ibiza together. According to reports, Attwood shared further details about Wicks during her conversation with Thomas on the podcast, describing him as "a niche guy, very complex". The public announcement marks the couple's transition from rumoured dating to openly acknowledging their relationship status.
