Olivia Attwood opens up about ‘toughest’ breakup

Olivia Attwood has revealed her split from husband Bradley Dack has been her “toughest yet,” as she shared she's “cried so hard she nearly passed out” after walking away from their marriage.

In January, the Love Island star revealed she was splitting from the footballer, and has since accused him of cheating on her “multiple times over 10 years.”

Since their split, Daily Mailuncovered that Olivia never legally married Bradley despite their lavish ceremony, which was broadcast in an ITV series.

The 34-year-old star has since hinted she opted against cementing the union to “protect her fortune.”

Now, Olivia has confessed that she has still struggled with the fall-out from the end of her relationship, before going onto describe the man she is looking for in the future as someone with a “beard and tattoos.”

Since becoming single she has found comfort in her longtime pal Pete Wicks, with sources claiming the pair have started a whirlwind romance after they were pictured kissing in a bar back in March.

Olivia shared insight into the split on the Extra Dirrty podcast, which she recorded during her girls trip to New York in March.

She said, “I can only see what I've had because people just like to give women a hard time. Someone wrote me on my TikTok yesterday when I was with the girls in New York having fun, and she's like ‘I really hope someone screws you over so badly, like you're such a cold calculated b***h.’”

Olivia continued, “I thought, it's because I'm open and I talk about all kinds of things, but I'm not going to video myself crying and put it on the internet. I'm just f*****g not.”

“It doesn't mean I don't cry. I have cried, I've cried so hard during this breakup to the point where I f****g think I'm going to pass out, and then I will slap myself in the face and go to work,” the TV personality added.

“I don't need to be crying on the internet, I don't think that people, professionally, are going to respect me and book me to host their TV shows when I'm videoing myself lying on the floor crying,” she clarified.

And when asked by host Hallie Batchelder whether this had been her toughest breakup, Olivia affirmed,“To date, yeah. This relationship spans over a decade on and off, so it's such a big area of my life.”
