Reality TV star Olivia Attwood and her husband Bradley Dack are looking for a fresh start as they put their £1million mansion on the market after a challenging few months.

The personal life of 34-year-old former Love Island star has been under the spotlight recently due to rumours that her husband Bradley was not best pleased about her antics while on holiday in Ibiza.

Olivia, who admitted she went ‘feral’ on the party island, was snapped looking cosy with her Kiss FM co-host and long-time pal Pete Wicks. Eyebrows were raised when she was photographed cosily nestled in Pete’s arms on a boat, his hand resting on her hip. These pictures reportedly left Olivia’s husband seething.

Amid the drama, Olivia has admitted she and Bradley are in the process of taking a huge step and letting go of their beloved Cheshire mansion – admitting “it just doesn’t work for us anymore.”

Olivia first gave fans a peek of her Cheshire pad on her telly series Olivia Meets Her Match back in 2020, where she lived with Brad and their two pooches Lola and Stitch.

But it’s not been a home filled soley with happy memories. In July, Olivia shared that the house was burgled while she was away working in Spain, but the break-in was foiled by her private security team.

Olivia confessed that over the past year, she and Bradley have barely spent any time at their home, as she’s been busy working in London and he’s been playing for Gillingham Football Club in Kent, leading them to decide to put the house on the market.

She revealed: “The house is going to go on the market very soon. Essentially, I had this flat in London that I was just using as a base for filming. And that’s what it was meant to be, but now we’re living here.”

Speaking to The Sun, Olivia added: “That’s our family home in Cheshire, but we’re not in it. So, we’ve been umming and ahh-ing, because we’re both kind of emotionally holding onto that house. We love it so much. It’s just that Cheshire doesn’t work for us anymore because we’re not there.”

Olivia, who tied the knot with Gillingham midfielder in 2023, hit out at the potential robbers at the time of the foiled plan. “So obviously I can’t go into too much detail because it’s an open investigation now,” she told her followers on social media in July.

“But some scumbags basically smashed a second-floor window, went in, and the security team got the notification within, like, 30 seconds, and they were there within two minutes with dogs. The little scumbags ran off.

“They got some stuff but they didn’t get what they came for, and now I have to just show face because it’s a really important work day and I’m feeling a bit tired and a little bit emosh, but yeah, brave face.”

She went on to admit: “We weren’t there and the dogs weren’t there. Obviously, if you know my dogs, the rescue Shepherd and Rottweiler, no one’s getting into my house and not getting out [killed] if my dogs are in there. So these f*****g, like disgusting vermin, were obviously tracking the house, and they obviously went at a time they knew the dogs weren’t there, but they didn’t know that we had security with a dog team, so they came down so quickly, thank God.”

Olivia confessed last week that her relationship with her footballer husband is far from “perfect relationship”. Ahead of the launch of the second series of her show Olivia Attwood’s Bad Boyfriends, where she takes on the task of reforming ill-behaved men, Olivia shared with the PA news agency: “Perfect doesn’t exist, and everyone’s idea of a perfect relationship is different.

“I implore the viewers to remember that as well when they watch that. Some things that are non-negotiable in one relationship is an OK thing in another relationship, and you can’t write the rules for another couple.

“Brad and I, although we tongue-in-cheek say in the show we are a perfect couple, we’re not perfect people. We don’t have a perfect relationship, but it’s as good as for me.

“And I think that’s the key in life really, to find someone to be your life partner, where it works, you make each other’s lives better, not worse. And I think that that is the overarching kind of theme through the show, that what works for one person is not for the other.”
