Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks have dominated headlines since locking lips on Friday. The reality stars, who have been pals for years, were spotted snogging at one of Pete’s favourite bars in a video, which has sent their fans into a frenzy.
The popular pair, who host a Kiss FM radio show together, have been friends for years, with Pete, 37, being credited for helping Olivia, 34, through her heartbreaking split in January after she and husband, Bradley Dack, called it quits following a ‘breach of trust’.
Pete and Olivia first got tongues wagging in the summer when they were papped on a yacht in Ibiza cuddled up together, when they were still just mates. However, now the pair appear to have taken their friendship to the next level after reportedly striking up a romance at the BRIT Awards in February where they were said to have stayed in the same hotel. They were then spotted kissing at the same bar where Pete took Olivia’s nemesis, Maura Higgins – when they were together – as we look at all the signs ‘Polivia’ were about to become an item…

Snuggled up on a yacht in Ibiza in the summer
Olivia and Pete got tongues wagging during a trip to Ibiza last summer when Olivia was snapped in a cosy embrace with the TOWIE star as she laid back into his arms on a yacht soaking up the Spanish sun.
At the time, the pair were just friends, but it was reported that the plucky presenter’s soon to be ex- husband Bradley was left “furious” over the “reckless” party-hard behaviour.
Olivia admits she ‘isn’t perfect’
After the snaps went viral, Olivia admitted that she and Bradley had a rocky summer and reminded fans she “isn’t perfect.” She was also said to be in the ‘dog house’ after her trip to Ibiza, with Bradley reportedly ‘livid’ after the snaps of his then wife and Pete were shared in his football WhatsApp group.
Bradley and Olivia split after ‘breach of trust’
Months after admitting all was not well between the pair, Love Island star revealed that she was no longer in a relationship with her ex, Bradley.
The pair called it quits in January after an alleged ‘breach of trust’ on the footballer’s part, with Olivia said to have been left heartbroken by the breakup.
On Valentine’s Day, she told fans she couldn’t remember the last time she was single on the February 14 as she indulged in retail therapy to cheer herself up.

‘Pizzagate’
Just a later, and Olivia and Pete were spotted partying at the BRIT Awards in Manchester, after which they were spotted leaving a hotel together. Newly single Olivia had attended the awards at the city’s Co-op Live Arena with ITV.
However, she and Pete were seen leaving an afterparty together. Photos from the hotel lobby at around 3am then showed the Strictly star carrying two large pizza back inside.
Bradley blocks Pete on Instagram
Newly-single Olivia and Pete have been good pals for a number of years, but it appears as though her ex-husband Bradley had enough after they were seen enjoying each other’s company after the BRITs.
The spot comes after Olivia and Brad called it quits following almost three years of marriage earlier this year. Now, as Olivia is said to be “smitten” by Pete, Brad has seemingly removed and blocked the podcast presenter from Instagram.
Pete and Olivia seen snogging in candlelit bar
Pete and Olivia were spotted out together in Soho, London, on Friday night, in a dimly-lit bar, Flute. Their table was strewn with empty glasses, with the loved-up pair cosying up together as they looked at Olivia’s phone.
The couple, who work together on their podcast The Sunday Roast, were then seen kissing, with friends saying their friendship has turned into an “unexpected romance”.
The bar in question appears to be a favourite of Essex loathario Pete, who has been papped there before – with Olivia’s arch-nemesis, Maura Higgins.
Olivia has ‘always held a torch’ for Pete
Olivia has always been fond of Pete throughout their friendship. However, now sources say the Love Islander is “smitten” with the reality star, as hey told Closer Magazine: “Olivia has always been drawn to Pete and carried a torch for him. If she wasn’t with him herself, she didn’t want anyone else to have him”.
Talking of their secret romance unfolding they added: “Olivia has fallen big time, she’s totally smitten with Pete. She’s always liked him – everyone can see the connection.

‘I want to support you’
During a chat on their podcast last week, Pete opened up about showing his emotions as he discussed crying at work. Telling the Strictly star she would support him if he felt upset, Olivia said: “I would want to support you and I would. I would hug you for like a second, but I would feel uncomfortable. You have to understand, I think I’ve seen my dad cry once, my mum cry like twice. I just haven’t grown up around people showing emotion.”
Pete replied: “And you’re not really a crier either, are you, at all? to which Olivia admitted: “I allow myself like the odd crash out. Like I give myself like five minutes. And then I have to get back to business.”
