TV presenter Olivia Attwood once described her current boyfriend, Pete Wicks, as "repulsive" in a resurfaced clip from her podcast, "Olivia's House." The episode, released in August 2024, featured Attwood's then-husband, Bradley Dack, as a guest.
During their conversation, Attwood addressed listener dilemmas about male-female friendships. When discussing the potential for romantic feelings in such relationships, she used Wicks as an example. "There's one exception to this rule, me and Pete," Attwood stated. "Because we both find each other repulsive."
Despite this past sentiment, Attwood has since begun a public relationship with Wicks. He recently made their romance official by sharing photos of them together on Instagram, a move Attwood had hinted at on her podcast. She mentioned receiving 100 red roses, indicating a new relationship without initially naming the sender, and stated she would not be the one to "hard launch" their romance first.
Attwood and Wicks were first rumored to be romantically involved last summer after being photographed together on a boat, at a time when Attwood was still married to Dack. They split in January of this year, though their wedding was not legally binding. Attwood later accused Dack of repeated infidelity.
Attwood has spoken about Wicks's softer side, noting he sent her roses to help with a hangover while she was filming in Ibiza. Wicks himself has alluded to their relationship, describing a holiday in St. Tropez as "delightful" and admitting to enjoying time away from the public eye.
Pete Wicks's friend Sam Thompson commented on his Instagram post, expressing happiness for the couple and noting it was surprising to see Wicks make their relationship public. The couple officially began dating in February, following Attwood's separation from Dack.
