Puffy-eyed Olivia Attwood and her husband Bradley Dack appeared to have a tense exchange after a double date with her sister Georgia amid their rough patch.
The TV presenter, 34, was snapped leaving Cecconi’s restaurant in Burlington Gardens on Thursday evening with Bradley, 31, as they both sported casual looks.
With the English footballer leading the way, Olivia went makeup-free for the date, appearing to keep a low profile by donning a grey cap with a denim jacket and white tracksuit bottoms.
The couple, who Olivia recently admitted were going through a ‘challenging’ period, got into a waiting cab outside the location.
However, they appeared to have a tense conversation in the back of the taxi as Olivia turned her body to face Bradley.
Olivia was pictured leaning in to look directly at the him during their chat as she held one hand up to her face and chest.
A black shopping bag separated the couple in the middle seat.
Their rare outing together follows Olivia’s admission to the Daily Mail that she and the sportsman have had a ‘challenging’ six months.
Olivia and Brad, who have known each other for almost a decade, married in 2023 at the luxury five-star hotel Bulgari in Knightsbridge.
In a candid conversation, Olivia said she understood why the footballer was ‘upset’ seeing pictures of her cosying up to pal Pete Wicks during the summer.
Olivia also 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.
She 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.
‘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!’
Daily Mail recently revealed how the pair worked on saving their marriage by making more time for each other, with workaholic Oliva taking a week off from her busy schedule for her husband.
The pair are also investing in their future, house-hunting for a property closer to London after confirming they are selling their Cheshire home.
Olivia recently asked a physic whether her marriage with Brad will stand the test of time.
Speaking on her The Sunday Roast Reheated podcast with co-host Pete, Olivia asked: ‘What’s coming in my love life this year, are things going to get better?’
Deborah replied: ‘It does feel slightly unsettled at the moment but mostly okay for you, a little bit up and downy but it will settle.
‘I have a feeling that you might be having a baby in the near future.’
Olivia joked: ‘Who’s the dad?’
‘Hopefully your husband, it’s going to be a little girl,’ said Deborah.
Olivia added: ‘Well I’ll have to keep my legs closed.
‘Deborah every medium has ever told me that it’s going to be a girl and that it’s going to be the absolute image of me’.
