Olivia Attwood has confessed that her boozy Ibiza trip with Pete Wicks ’caused chaos’ at home.
The Loose Women star, 34, recently raised eyebrows when she was pictured cosying up to longtime pal Pete, 36, during the holiday, and she later admitted she could understand why the images made her husband Bradley Dack ‘upset’.
Now footage has surfaced from two days before the cosy snaps were taken in which Pete and Olivia were talking about all the chaos they were causing on the trip.
Filming for KISS FM, the duo were asked the best way to ’cause chaos’ in Ibiza, to which Pete replied: ‘I mean, to be fair, we cause chaos everywhere we go.’
Olivia agreed, adding: ‘I feel like going together would be the best way to cause chaos…
‘I feel like also putting your phone on do not disturb, don’t reply to anyone, it causes chaos at home.’
Pete continued: ‘To be fair, we cause chaos for other people. We don’t realize we’re chaos, but everyone else thinks it’s chaos’, to which Olivia replied: ‘And they’re really concerned. The island has us now.’
Pete concluded: ‘We’re on day two and everyone is sending out search parties. We’ve not responded to a thing.’
Olivia was questioned about her relationship with Bradley during Wednesday’s episode of ITV’s Lorraine, where she confessed her marriage was a ‘work in progress’.
The Love Island star was promoting her TV series Bad Boyfriends when she was asked about how she overcame Bradley cheating on her when they first got together.
Olivia mused: ‘Brad and I had a rocky start.
‘We have this tongue-in-cheek opener to the show where I say I turned him into my perfect man but there’s no such thing as perfect.
‘Our relationship has ups and downs for sure, even to this day. But it’s a collaborative thing, it’s a work in progress.
‘It’s not something I would recommend to everyone – to forgive and move on – [but] it worked for us.
‘I’ve never gone back to an ex before, never thought I would but Brad was that exception and in some cases it can work – maturity – we were 20/21 when we met.
‘We were kids and he was silly in the beginning, I was silly, and you know you grow up together and learn how to behave.’
Lorraine then probed the reality star on how she dealt with the fallout of being ‘photographed cuddling a male friend’, to which Olivia responded: ‘I don’t deep into it that much.
‘I don’t spend time looking at news – they have a job to do, I have a job – I don’t deep into it, you’ll drive yourself crazy.’
She also addressed how she deals with being a role model to her younger fans, explaining: ‘It’s something I’m aware of and it’s a responsibility.
‘I try to be transparent with my audience and say I’m not perfect, I’m a human being and if I make a mistake I will hold my hands up and explain. But I do take that role seriously.’
Last week, Olivia admitted that her marriage to Bradley had faced a ‘challenging’ six months and she understood why the footballer was ‘upset’ seeing pictures of her cosying up to Pete.
Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, Olivia reiterated that her and Brad’s relationship is ‘not perfect’ but insisted they are still very much together – and that she and Pete are just good friends and work colleagues.
Strictly star Pete was snapped with his arm draped around bikini-clad Olivia on a yacht during a drunken boat party on the White Isle.
The image prompted a backlash online, as well as unsavoury chants aimed at Bradley by football fans watching him play for League Two side Gillingham.
The pictures even sparked a feud with Olivia’s closest pal Ryan Kay, her former assistant, who has reportedly cut the TV presenter out of his life completely.
But opening up about the furore which sparked numerous headlines, Olivia insisted that both her and Bradley are determined to overcome what she described as ‘difficult times’ sparked by their incredibly busy work schedules.
Olivia said: ‘Me and Brad never pretend to have a perfect relationship, we have been up, down, left, backwards, and the last six months have been really challenging for us.’
Olivia added that she understood why the footballer was ‘upset’ seeing the pictures of her and Pete but insisted that they are just good friends and work colleagues.
‘My work and his work take precedence over everything, we have to navigate our relationship all the time.
‘It’s the boring side of being an adult in a long-term relationship, we constantly have to work at it and that’s just the truth.
‘No one else really wants to say that part out loud but it is difficult at times.
‘It’s great to post a picture on Instagram but we’re transparent people and it’s not always like that.
‘There are ups and downs, there are things on his side which haven’t been great, there’s a mix of things.
‘I have f***ed up and done stuff, Brad has f***ed up. It’s really easy to pretend you’re perfect but no one is if you just dig a little deeper.’
On Bradley’s reaction to seeing her pictured with former TOWIE Lothario Pete, who had his hand on her thigh, she added: ‘I get why Brad didn’t like it, we were all on the boat, drinking and hugging each other and being best friends, it was family vibes.
‘But if it was the other way around, of course I wouldn’t like it either, me and Brad are very similar people, we were drawn together because we’re both quite out there personality-wise, we know how to have fun.
‘But I completely understand why he was a bit miffed but it was never as deep as anyone made out.
‘People were like, oh my God, they’re getting a divorce because Pete hugged her but that’s not the case. Also, Pete is hugging me, I was just there!’
She continued: ‘It was just a holiday to Ibiza, who knew it would cause so much trouble?
‘I was there with KISS, which is why Pete was there and we were hosting for them, we hosted an O Beach event and a couple of my pals joined and we had a few extra days.’
