The former Love Island finalist has returned to the spotlight amid reports she has cut ties with Bradley Dack

Olivia Attwood has ended her silence on social media following reports that her marriage to footballer Bradley Dack has collapsed.

The former Love Island contestant shared a glimpse of her new London apartment on Instagram, posting footage of herself in black loungewear moving through the empty property.


"2026.. a new home in the city I was born in," she wrote alongside the clip.

The video, accompanied by a cover of The Goo Goo Dolls' Iris, featured a pointed caption: "The dream was planted in your heart for a reason."

The Loose Women panellist gave viewers a brief tour of the spacious flat, which boasts an open-plan kitchen and living area, floor-to-ceiling mirrored wardrobes, and city views from large windows with a small balcony.

The Instagram post comes after sources close to the couple have told the Daily Mail that the marriage is "over for good" and divorce appears inevitable.

"Olivia and Bradley have had a long relationship full of ups and downs," a source said.

"They have always managed to overcome any problems between them, including distance, their busy careers, and, in the past, betrayals from Bradley's side."

The insider claimed that Mr Dack's recent actions came as "a complete shock" to Ms Attwood, ultimately ending their decade-long relationship.

"Olivia knows now is the time to move on for good, and while it's heartbreaking for her, she believes it's the only way to end their marriage on the best terms possible," the source continued.

The 34-year-old television presenter has since unfollowed her husband on Instagram, though he continues to follow her account.

Celebrity friends rallied around Ms Attwood in the comments section of her Instagram post.

EastEnders actress Jacqueline Jossa described the new flat as "stunning," while Katie Piper and Scarlett Moffatt both left heart emojis.

"You are amazing and don't let no one else tell you any different," wrote Towie star Ella Rae Wise.

GK Barry offered her support with the words "so deserved queen," and Charlotte Dawson and Billi Mucklow also showed their solidarity.

On Sunday, Ms Attwood was photographed arriving at the Kiss FM studios to present her radio programme alongside co-host Pete Wicks, notably without her wedding ring.

During the broadcast, she told listeners she was experiencing "blue days" and described the past month as feeling like a "nightmare."

Ms Attwood and Mr Dack first crossed paths in 2015, two years before she appeared on the ITV dating show.

She has previously admitted that she signed up for Love Island in 2017 as revenge after discovering he had been unfaithful during the early stages of their relationship.

The pair reconciled in 2018 and became engaged the following year during a trip to Dubai.

Their wedding at London's Bulgari Hotel in June 2023 was documented for the ITVBe series Olivia Marries Her Match, following an earlier reality programme about their relationship.

The couple had recently sold their £1million Cheshire property, with plans to relocate closer to Bradley's club Gillingham FC and Olivia's London-based work commitments.

Representatives for both Ms Attwood and Mr Dack have declined to comment on the situation.
