Olivia Attwood has confirmed her split from husband Bradley Dack by issuing an emotive statement.

The ITV presenter, 34, married Gillingham football player Bradley, 32, in 2023, having first met in 2015.

But last week, it was reported that, after 10 years together, they were separating after Olivia felt there had been a ‘breach of trust’ from her husband.

At the time, sources claimed neither Olivia nor Bradley would be speaking publicly on their divorce, saying their friends and family were ‘aware’ of the situation.

The only remarks initially came from Olivia during her radio show, where she said she was having ‘blue days’ and felt that January had been ‘a nightmare’.

However, Loose Women’s Olivia has now broken her silence, admitting she’s been left in tears at night with how everything’s unravelled.

Taking to her Instagram Story on Saturday afternoon, she shared a photo of stacks of boxes inside her new place, having already moved out of her marital home.

‘I keep opening instagram to post but I don’t know what to say or do ? lol’, she began.

Olivia added that ‘vulnerability is not [her] bag’, and being open on social media in particular feels akin to ‘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 continued.

‘But also so much change in a short amount of time (you know I hate that) (Taurus)’.

In a frank confession, Olivia then said that she ‘never expected to be moving into this apartment alone’.

‘I’m in over my depth for sure.’

Addressing the breakup directly, she wrote: ‘I want to be happy. I want Brad to be happy. Just one day at a time. For both of us. & anyone else who needs to read this.’

The former Love Island star concluded: ‘Normal programming and chatting will resume asap’, then thanked her followers for their support and said she ‘feels your love immensely’.

Olivia shared that she had moved into a new London property earlier this week, filming herself roaming around the empty space.

In the comments, fans and famous pals were quick to share sweet messages, as, while Olivia herself had not yet confirmed her marriage split, reports were swirling.

‘Onwards an upwards 👆’, commented Maya Jama.

Myleene Klass added: ‘you go girl x’, and GK Barry wrote: ‘So deserved queen’.

Olivia has already ditched her wedding ring and unfollowed midfielder Bradley on Instagram.

As for his feed, his last post remains public. It includes several lovey-dovey photos and a caption that quickly began ageing poorly.

He wrote on December 31, 2025: ‘let’s make 2026 even better. Happy New Year Everyone.’

The last time Olivia and Bradley were seen together was just weeks ago, attending the premiere of her latest series.

For now, it is unclear what exactly led to the demise of their long-term relationship and how Olivia supposedly believes Bradley ‘crossed the line’.

However, their rocky patches are well documented.

Last summer, Olivia was allegedly ‘in the doghouse’ after photos emerged of her cosying up to best pal and radio co-host Pete Wicks on an Ibiza yacht trip.

Olivia nestled into his arms, and Pete placed a hand on her thigh, resulting in Bradley ‘getting so much stick’ from his teammates.

‘They know Brad and Liv are happily married but couldn’t resist winding him up about what she’s been getting up to on holiday,’ an insider said in August.

‘Bradley’s tried to laugh it off, but inside he’s fuming about it,’ they added, further claiming he was ‘livid with her for putting him in this position’.

The athlete has had his fair share of dicey moments, too, though, as Olivia actually applied to appear on Love Island in 2017 as an act of revenge when he cheated on her.

Shortly after leaving the villa and splitting from Chris Hughes, she and Bradley got back together.

He popped the question a year later, and they wed almost three years ago in a London ceremony.
