Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood were seen sharing a light-hearted moment about “cheating” following remarks from his former partner, Maura Higgins, suggesting infidelity as a cause for their split.
During their appearance at the BRIT Awards in March, Pete, 36, and Olivia, 34, displayed a jovial demeanor while posing together on the red carpet. In a pre-event interview, they playfully bantered about “cheating” just after Pete affectionately referred to Olivia as his “work wife.”
Reflecting on the event, Pete expressed concern for his friend Sam Thompson, who would be seated separately from him as he accompanied Olivia, stating, “It’s tough for Sam tonight because I’ve got a new work wife.”
As Pete trailed off, Olivia interjected with a teasing tone, asking, “Cheating?” The exchange led to shared laughter between the two. Olivia quipped, “Not for the first time, I might add.”
Despite insinuations from Maura about Pete’s fidelity, Pete’s friends have defended him against such claims. Prior to the BRIT Awards incident, Maura, 34, was captured leaving a restaurant unaccompanied on Valentine’s Day, responding to a fan inquiry about Pete with a comment hinting at infidelity.
Recent sightings of Olivia and Pete together in Ibiza have stirred speculation. Images showing them cozying up on a yacht, with Pete’s arm around her, fueled rumors. Olivia further fueled gossip by removing her wedding rings and self-labeling as a “bad girlfriend” at an event for her show, Bad Boyfriends.
While Olivia’s husband, Bradley Dack, stood by her at the launch of her show’s second series, reports suggest he was upset by the Ibiza photos. A source disclosed that despite Bradley’s efforts to downplay the situation, he was internally upset.
Olivia addressed the controversy, acknowledging Bradley’s feelings and clarifying that her relationship with Pete is strictly platonic. She emphasized the challenges in her marriage, admitting that it has experienced difficulties in recent months.
She emphasized the need for continual effort in navigating their relationship, highlighting the complexities of adult long-term commitments. Olivia candidly admitted to mistakes on both her and Bradley’s part, emphasizing the imperfections in their relationship.
