Olivia Attwood makes shock confession about her marriage – and even admits it might make her ‘sound like a dictator
OLIVIA Attwood has again opened up about her marriage to footballer Bradley Dack, days after he admitted to cheating on her with his ex.
The Love Island alum, 33, revealed that they have some rules in their relationship that might make her “sound like a dictator” – but she assured this isn’t the case.
It comes just days after the couple opened up about their relationship on Olivia’s podcast, So Wrong It’s Right.
It turns out that Bradley, 30, had been two-timing Olivia with another woman in the early days of their relationship.
This infidelity is actually what finally spurred her to take part in the third series of Love Island in 2017.
The couple rekindled in 2018, and after a few more bumps in the road, tied the knot in 2023.
They are currently in a long distance relationship as they juggle their conflicting showbiz and sporting careers.
But that doesn’t mean their relationship comes without unique rules and habits.
Olivia revealed on Loose Women last week that she actually gives her husband a “sign-off” on his outfits and appearance.
That includes his new and controversial bleach blonde hair ‘do, which debuted on Instagram last month.
“I obviously gave a sign-off,” Olivia told the panel.
“Not to sound like a dictator but we have… you know, he does run things past me.
When asked by fellow Loose Woman Kay Adams if she likes Brad’s new look, Olivia replied: “I actually like it.
“I genuinely do.
“This sounds like a lie, but it’s better in real life.
“It doesn’t photograph that well.”
Olivia Attwood's Career History
From Monster grid girl and Love Island star to daytime telly panellist and respected documentary maker, Olivia Attwood has made a huge career pivot in recent years...
Olivia first started as a Monster grid girl at motorsport events in 2012 when she was 19-years-old, and did it right up until she went into Love Island in 2017.
After placing third in the reality show with then-boyfriend Chris Hughes, she starred in their own spin-off series, Chris & Olivia: Crackin’ On, in 2018.
Later that year, she appeared on Celebs Go Dating and then joined the cast of The Only Way Is Essex in 2019, where she had a number of fiery on-screen rows.
In 2020, the reality TV veteran began starring in her own reality series on ITVBe titled Olivia Meets Her Match, which followed her wedding preparations with footballer Bradley Dack.
In 2021, the tide started to turn.
Olivia made appearances on household shows Lorraine, Tipping Point: Lucky Stars and Loose Women.
Then, in 2022, ITV commissioned her for her first ever documentary series.
She presented Olivia Attwood: Getting Filthy Rich, which explored women selling sexual content online.
In June 2023, ITV commissioned Olivia Marries Her Match and made her a regular guest panellist on Loose Women.
Her most recent docu-series, Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection, aired in January this year where she sensitively explored the cosmetic industry.
Olivia joked that a few days after the big switch up, she rolled over in bed to see the back of a blonde head and worried it was another man.
“I thought I’d made one of the worst decisions of my adult life,” she said.
“I was like, ‘oh my god, I’m married, I’ve done it… I’ve cheated!’
“But no, it was Brad.”
Olivia also approves his outfit choices to ensure, when they step out together, their looks aren’t clashing OR matching.
“You don’t want to be matching because that’s a bit cheesy,” she added.
“But you need to be complementing.
“It needs to be in harmony.”
