On the surface, Olivia Attwood appeared to be coping fairly well in the wake of her split from Gillingham footballer Bradley Dack. But now, in one of her most candid chats to date, the golden girl of ITV and former Love Island star has revealed the shocking reality of her situation, since announcing the breakdown of her marriage in January.
Olivia, 34, confessed during an interview on the Extra Dirty podcast that she spent many nights crying herself to sleep to the point she feared she might pass out, but chose to keep that part of her life private.
The This Morning star recently dropped a bombshell after revealing the reason for the split has accused Bradley on being unfaithful during their ten year relationship.
The TV personality recorded her podcast session while on a girls trip to New York last month. She candidly said: “I can only see what I’ve had because people just like to give women a hard time.”
She added: “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***”.
“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 no.”
Olivia continued: “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.
“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”.
When asked by host Hallie Batchelder if her break-up with Bradley had been her hardest one yet, Olivia responded saying: “To date, yeah. This relationship spans over a decade on and off, so it’s such a big area of my life. And I think that when you know you tried, we both tried so many things to make it work, so of course it’s just so sad. It’s sad.”
She added: “And also, this is why I’ve not rushed to say anything because it’s like, I can still acknowledge the fact that I like him and I love him as a person, those things can still be true while knowing that it’s run its course.”
The former reality TV star believes that it would be easier for her to move on if she hated him but confessed “which I don’t.”
Last month Olivia and her close pal Pete Wicks set tongues wagging after they were pictured kissing while enjoying a night out with friends.
And while she did her best to avoid giving a definitive answer, as to whether she was dating him, she did confirm that she was dating.
When asked during her chat to describe her ideal man she said: “They’re all really different, but the things I like is, I like a guy that’s got a cool sense of style, like he has a sense of self-style “
She added: “I like tattoos, I like a beard, I like hair, I want something I can get my hands into. Confidence, but I’m yapping enough for both of us but you don’t need to be talking all the time, but also confident enough to accept the fact that I don’t shut the f**k up.”
The podcast was recorded on 16 March, just over a week before the pair were caught kissing, oblivious to onlookers while at The Flute bar in Soho.
