Olivia Attwood soft launches Pete Wicks relationship, admits feeling 'lost and frustrated'

Olivia Attwood has subtly introduced her romance with Pete Wicks by having him present at her private birthday celebration.

In a quick moment from Olivia's new vlog, Pete is visible in a mirror reflection, grinning as Olivia marked her special occasion with her closest friends and family.

Guests included her family and her Love Island pal Amber Davies.

In the vlog, Olivia, at 35, prepares for the glamorous event, sipping a cocktail, and reflecting on a difficult year where she parted ways with her husband Bradley Dack and started a budding relationship with Pete.

She comments: “What a difference a year can make. Everything has evolved so much.

“On my birthday last year, I was feeling quite lost, to put it mildly.”

Olivia continued: “Many aspects of my life felt off, even if, on the outside, things seemed ideal.”

The Loose Women star shares she selectively shares her life, indicating that while she's shared many high points, the tough times have been kept private off her social media.

She adds: “After an incredibly unusual year, I’m stepping beyond my comfort zone.

“Last year, I felt trapped and frustrated, and everything seemed wrong.”
