Pete Wicks put Bradley Dack back into the frame only as the reason the story had already been circulating: Olivia Attwood had split from him before the rumours started. Then Wicks ended the guessing on Instagram and made the relationship public, moving the pair from talk to a stated reality.
Instagram and Olivia Attwood
Wicks said the post was as straightforward as it looked: “I guess someone has to go first.” He added that he was thinking, “What would Liv like?” and said, “Ah f**k it” before pressing ahead. For a couple that had already become the “worst-kept secret,” the public post turned private chatter into something the audience could actually track.
The most revealing line was the least polished one: “all I really cared about was that I didn’t embarrass her.” That gives the post a clear operating rule. Wicks was not trying to build suspense; he was trying to make the announcement land without making Attwood look exposed.
Bad Boyfriends in Ibiza
The timing matters because Wicks and Attwood were in Ibiza filming the new season of Bad Boyfriends when the post went up. That means the relationship reveal was happening inside the same production cycle that has them working together, not after a long period of distance or a one-off appearance.
Wicks also said, “I would love to take full credit for [the music], but it was suggested by Instagram.” He then cut through any remaining drama with: “Just, 'There we go'. Now it's out it's fine, we're good.”
Olivia Attwood and Bradley Dack
Attwood had already warned she was not going to be the one to “hard-launch anyone,” which is why Wicks doing it himself mattered. He did what she said she would not, and he did it after the relationship had already been talked about for a while. That sequence is the whole story: rumor first, public acknowledgment later, and no attempt to pretend the audience had not been watching.
How long Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood had been together before they made it public is not stated. What is clear is that the announcement has moved the pair out of speculation and into a relationship that now sits in the open, while filming on Bad Boyfriends continues around it.
