Pete Wicks has finally addressed the holiday that set social media buzzing, after photos of him and Olivia Attwood looking happier than ever sparked a frenzy among fans.
The couple, whose relationship has become one of the most talked-about celebrity romances of the year, recently escaped to the glamorous shores of St Tropez, where they were photographed enjoying some downtime together.
And while Pete stopped short of revealing too much, his latest comments have only added fuel to speculation that things between the pair are becoming increasingly serious.
Speaking on his podcast, the former TOWIE favourite reflected on the luxury getaway and admitted it was exactly what he needed.
“It was delightful,” he shared, explaining that the trip allowed him to disconnect from everyday pressures and enjoy a rare opportunity to slow down.
Known for joking about his dislike of holidays in the past, Pete surprised listeners by revealing that his outlook has completely changed.
For years, he insisted travelling was a waste of time.
Now?
Not anymore.
The TV personality confessed that the break had opened his eyes to what he had been missing, describing the experience as relaxing, refreshing and something he wishes he had embraced much earlier.
While Pete avoided directly discussing the affectionate holiday photographs that quickly circulated online, his close friend and podcast co-host Sam Thompson couldn’t resist bringing them up.
Naturally, the playful teasing led to plenty of laughter, but Pete remained careful not to reveal too many personal details.
Instead, he focused on how much he enjoyed the trip itself, describing leisurely mornings, coffee by the pool and time spent completely unwinding away from the spotlight.
The holiday comes as interest in his relationship with Olivia continues to grow.
The pair were first linked earlier this year and have gradually become more comfortable appearing together in public, despite largely keeping details of their romance private.
Fans have followed every development closely, eager to see whether the relationship could become one of British television’s biggest love stories.
Recent clues suggest things may be moving in that direction.
Earlier this month, Olivia sparked excitement among followers after sharing a social media post that appeared to offer a subtle glimpse into her personal life with Pete.
The former Love Island star has also been increasingly open about embracing a new chapter following a difficult period earlier this year.
Since then, supporters have praised both stars for finding happiness and moving forward.
Friends close to the couple reportedly believe they bring out the best in each other, with both balancing busy careers while navigating life in the public eye.
And judging by Pete’s relaxed mood after returning from St Tropez, the getaway may have been exactly what they both needed.
For now, neither Pete nor Olivia seem interested in making grand declarations.
But their latest holiday, growing public appearances and undeniable chemistry are doing plenty of talking on their behalf.
One thing is becoming increasingly clear: what started as a surprise celebrity pairing is rapidly becoming one of the hottest romances on television.
And fans are watching every step of the journey.
