Olivia Attwood has "soft launched" her relationship with former The Only Way Is Essex star Pete Wicks in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it manner.

The couple were papped together during an intimate party being held to celebrate Olivia's birthday. It comes after weeks of speculation the pair had gotten together immediately after her marriage to Bradley Dack broke down.

In a split-second shot, Pete could be seen in the reflection of a mirror in Olivia's latest vlog as she marked her big day with her friends and family. Olivia herself has not specifically mentioned the fact that Pete was at the event.

A host of the Olivia's fellow Love Island stars also attended the big bash, including her best pal in the villa Amber Davies. In the clip, Loose Women star Olivia could be seen getting ready for the party, having a cocktail and pondering the past year.

"What a difference a year makes," Olivia said in the vlog. "A lot has changed.

"This time last year for my birthday I was feeling a little bit lost, to say the least. There was a lot of elements to my life that just didnt feel right, but from the outside I think it looked like everything was perfect."

The star went on to say that she only lets people see what she wants them to see, admitting there have been bad times for her in the past twelve months. However, these moments such as the breakdown of her marriage were not things that she decided to publicise for her following.

After admitting that "everything felt a little bit wrong" last year, Olivia said she was now pushing herself out of her comfort zone. She added that she wants the next twelve months to be a lot more relaxing, hoping that her "personal life catches up with her professional life".

It comes as Pete and Olivia's relationship continues to divide opinions after they were first seen snogging in a bar in Soho earlier this year. The pair were seen just weeks after Olivia cut things off with footballer Bradley, despite having got hitched back in 2023.

In recent weeks, the pair have ramped up their public appearances having jetted off to France last month for getaway. Insiders close to the couple have confirmed the pair are "dating and enjoying their time together", although neither Olivia nor Pete have outright said they are together.

Meanwhile, Bradley has moved on with his life after his long-term relationship with Olivia abruptly ended. He has since reunited with former flame Emily Rose Maloney and the pair seem stronger than ever.
