When it was confirmed that Olivia Atttwood’s marriage to Bradley Dack had ended, many were left speculating over the reason for the breakdown of their three year marriage. But Olivia finally broke her silence earlier this week and publicly outed the Gillingham football player for allegedly cheating on her during their relationship.
But instead of hitting back at the claims, the ex husband of the This Morning star, 34, has defended Olivia. The couple – who had been together for ten years – called time on their relationship back in January, but it was only recently that Olivia took to her social media to publicly open up about the reason behind their split.

Taking to Instagram, she wrote: “I have stood by Brad for the last ten years during which he lied & cheated on me multiple times. The breakdown of our relationship is because of this.”
She added: “I was in love with him and the potential I saw in him and wanted always to help him try to be the best version of himself – as I did for 10 years. Covering up. Lying to my family and friends. Arranging therapy. Believing the grovelling apologies.”
The ITV star continued: “I of course now feel like a f***ing idiot (Especially as more things come to the surface). I never wanted to say any of this. I find the whole situation utterly humiliating.”
She then concluded: “But some of the disgusting things written about me in the last few weeks just blow my mind – and of course sadly it’s always fellow females doing the writing.”
On the back of one of his Instagram posts, fans were quick to debate their failed relationship which is said to have included screenshots of her social media statement.
Jumping in after seeing what had been written about his ex wife, who was recently caught kissing fellow reality TV star Pete Wicks while on a night out, he said: “You’ve got a lot of this wrong.. just leave her alone.”
According to the reality star turned documentary filmmaker, Olivia also went on to expose the final straw which led her to end their nuptials.
She wrote at the time: “This January when I was confronted at the screening of one my shows by someone reporting to me yet another night he had gone back with a random girl – I decided it was time to finally leave.”
It had also been reported that Olivia was not legally married, according to The Sun. And this reportedly sent shockwaves among TV executives as they had featured her “wedding”, proposal and “marriage” to the footballer.
In a bid to quell reports that she could be set to lose her high profile spot with the broadcaster, she responded saying: “I’m not losing my job, I’m not pulling the wool over any one eyes. Yes, I’m dating.”
She added: “Yes I’m getting up every single day even when I have cried all night to film the shows I love filming, record my podcast, record my radio show, shoot campaigns and somewhere in there TRY to move on.”
