Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks made their red carpet debut as a couple at the National Television Awards on Tuesday evening, sharing a kiss before presenting an award and engaging in some lighthearted banter on stage. The reality stars, who "hard launched" their relationship on social media weeks prior, appeared together at the O2 Arena.
Later in the evening, Attwood and Wicks took to the stage to present the Daytime award. Wicks joked about his relationship with Attwood, suggesting he had acquired a "Loose Woman," a reference to the ITV panel show. Attwood, 35, responded by noting Wicks's fondness for "loose women." Wicks, 37, playfully retorted, "I love them so much that I got my very own…"
The award for Daytime was presented to "This Morning," which maintained its winning streak from the 2025 ceremony. Hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley accepted the award alongside other members of the show's crew. Shephard commented on the couple's public declaration of their relationship, stating they were "excited about the hard launch of Pete and Liv." Cat Deeley added, "We love Pete and Liv."
Earlier on the red carpet, Attwood and Wicks shared a kiss in front of the cameras. Wicks, who was hosting the red carpet coverage with Sam Thompson, encountered Attwood as she greeted Thompson with a hug. The moment was captured and shared on the official NTA Instagram account with the caption, "Red carpet chemistry! @olivia_attwood and @p_wicks01 share a kiss on the #NTA2026 red carpet." Attwood humorously commented on the clip, "Guys why was this so awkward." Fans reacted positively to the public display of affection.
The couple first met in 2017 and maintained a friendship before their relationship turned romantic this year, following the breakdown of Attwood's marriage to Bradley Dack. Attwood confirmed their relationship on Instagram after months of speculation, humorously stating fans had "bullied me into hard launching."
