Pete Wicks And Olivia Attwood Finally Confirm Romance With Loved-Up Ibiza Photos — But An Old Clip Calling Him “Repulsive” Has Fans Stunned

After months of speculation, whispers and countless fan theories, Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood have finally put the rumours to rest.
The reality TV favourites have officially confirmed their relationship by sharing a series of affectionate holiday photos from Ibiza, marking the moment fans had been waiting for.
But just as the internet began celebrating their romance, an old video of Olivia describing Pete as “repulsive” unexpectedly resurfaced—adding an awkward twist to their love story.
From Rumours To Reality
For months, Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood insisted nothing was going on between them, despite repeatedly being spotted together and sparking speculation wherever they went.
Now, the pair have made their relationship Instagram official.
Pete, 37, shared a collection of sun-drenched photos from their Ibiza getaway, including several cosy moments with Olivia that left little room for doubt.Awkward moment Olivia Attwood brands Pete Wicks 'repulsive' on podcast two years before getting together
Alongside the pictures, he wrote simply:

“I guess someone has to go first… IBIZA 🖤”

The understated caption was enough to send fans into a frenzy.
Within minutes, followers flooded the comments with congratulations, calling the post the long-awaited “hard launch” of one of reality television’s most talked-about romances.
Olivia Had Already Dropped A Big Hint
Pete’s post didn’t come completely out of nowhere.
Just days earlier, Olivia had joked on her Olivia’s House podcast that she had no intention of being the first person to publicly confirm the relationship.
She laughed that someone else would have to make the first move online.
Pete clearly accepted the challenge.
Fans also remembered his wide-eyed emoji reaction to one of Olivia’s earlier Instagram posts—a small interaction that now seems to have carried much more meaning than anyone realised at the time.Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood finally confirm relationship with loved-up pictures - The Mirror
Months Of Secret Clues
Although the pair remained publicly silent, eagle-eyed fans had been piecing together clues for months.
Their rumoured romance first gained attention after they were photographed together aboard a yacht in Ibiza during the summer of 2025.
Speculation intensified following Olivia’s separation from former footballer Bradley Dack in early 2026.
Reports later claimed Pete and Olivia began dating shortly afterwards, although neither confirmed the relationship.
Working together as presenters on KISS FM only fuelled further curiosity, with listeners frequently commenting on their obvious chemistry.
Now, the Ibiza holiday photos have confirmed what many had suspected all along.
The Romantic Gesture That Gave Everything Away
Ibiza appears to have become a particularly meaningful place in their relationship.
Earlier this week, Olivia revealed another romantic detail that delighted fans.
While she was filming Bad Boyfriends in Ibiza, Pete surprised her by sending 100 red roses.
The grand gesture immediately sparked fresh dating rumours, with many believing it was impossible for the pair to still be “just friends.”
Looking back, fans now believe that was one of the biggest clues their romance had quietly blossomed behind the scenes.
Then The Internet Dug Up An Old Podcast…
Just as the couple were enjoying congratulations from fans, social media uncovered a podcast clip that few expected to see again.
The recording dates back to when Olivia was still married to Bradley Dack.
During a conversation about friendships between men and women, Olivia used Pete as an example of someone she believed could never become a romantic partner.
Laughing, she told Bradley:

“There’s one exception to this rule, me and Pete. Because we both find each other repulsive.”

She added that although they were close friends, they didn’t constantly text or call each other.
The resurfaced clip has now gone viral, with fans joking that it may have aged worse than almost any celebrity interview.
Many couldn’t help pointing out how dramatically things have changed.
Friends First, Romance Later
In reality, Pete and Olivia have shared the same celebrity circles for years.
Olivia rose to fame after Love Island before building a successful television career, while Pete became one of the best-known faces from The Only Way Is Essex.
Over time, their friendship developed through shared television projects, radio work and public appearances.
Whether romance slowly grew from friendship or developed later, the Ibiza photos leave little doubt about where they stand today.
Fans Love The Unexpected Love Story
While the resurfaced “repulsive” comment has provided plenty of laughs online, most fans have embraced the unexpected twist.
Many pointed out that some of the strongest relationships often begin as close friendships—or even playful teasing.
With one Instagram post, a black heart emoji and a handful of sun-soaked Ibiza photos, Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood have officially ended months of speculation.
Their relationship may have started as gossip, but it has now become one of reality TV’s biggest confirmed romances—and judging by fans’ reactions, many are excited to see what comes next.
