Olivia Attwood sparked fresh intrigue on Saturday night as she was seen looking cosy with Pete Wicks while partying at the BRIT Awards 2026, only weeks after confirming her split from husband Bradley Dack.
The Love Island star, 34, separated from the footballer in January after three years together, with reports at the time claiming the marriage ended after he allegedly “breached her trust”. Since the breakup, Olivia has thrown herself into work — and at the star-studded ceremony in Manchester, she appeared relaxed and close as she caught up with her long-time friend Pete.
Olivia Attwood was spotted chatting animatedly with Pete Wicks, 37, with the pair leaning in towards one another amid the noise and buzz of the event. The duo, who co-host a Kiss FM radio show together, appeared deep in conversation throughout the evening.
Later that night, the pair were pictured leaving the event together in a car, in images published by The Mirror, further fuelling speculation about their close bond.
For the glamorous night out, Olivia turned heads in an asymmetrical black gown, styling the look with sheer tights for added edge. Pete, meanwhile, cut a dapper figure in a crisp white blazer layered over a white shirt.
The sighting comes just weeks after Olivia and Pete were also seen out together in London following her Garnier brand launch. After the celebration at The Newman Hotel — where Olivia was unveiled as the new face of Garnier — she was photographed heading off with Pete and a group of friends.
Their friendship has previously raised eyebrows. Last August, the pair were pictured cosying up during a messy Ibiza trip, with photos showing Pete resting his hand on Olivia’s thigh as they relaxed aboard a yacht. Olivia later admitted she could understand why the images had upset her husband at the time, describing her marriage as a “work in progress”.
Reports last month suggested Olivia and Bradley’s relationship ended after the footballer “crossed a line”. Addressing the breakdown publicly, Olivia shared a raw and emotional message with fans, admitting she struggled to know what to say.
“I keep opening Instagram to post but I don’t know what to say or do,” she wrote. “Vulnerability is not my bag — especially on social media, it feels very much like bleeding in shark-infested waters.
“I cry myself to sleep, then business as normal when the alarm goes off at 5am, and it has been like that for a long time.”
She later added: “I never expected to be moving into this apartment alone. I want to be happy. I want Brad to be happy. Just one day at a time. For both of us.”
Earlier this week, Olivia revealed she has “never regretted falling in love”, despite her heartbreak. Speaking in a new interview, she admitted she still views love as one of the most powerful human experiences and hopes to find it again.
“I love love,” she said. “I think it’s one of the most unique and pure human experiences — even if it’s with a complete and utter trash bag. In that moment, you felt something.”
She went on to confess she wants intensity in her next relationship, telling Attitude Magazine she wants someone she can be “obsessed” with.
“I don’t want someone who feels indifferent about me,” she said. “Love bomb me. I want to feel all the feels.”
Whether their latest BRITs night out was simply two close friends reconnecting — or something more — is left open to interpretation. But one thing is certain: Olivia’s post-split appearances are keeping fans watching closely.
