Olivia Attwood has revealed why she would never tell fans not gossip about her marriage to Bradley Dack, especially after her scandalous Ibiza trip earlier this year.

The former Love Island star sparked controversy over the summer after she was snapped getting cuddly with friend Pete Wicks whilst on holiday together in Ibiza.

The photos were reported to have made Bradley Dack, Olivia’s husband, furious, and Olivia later admitted that she could understand why he was “upset”, confessing that her marriage was a “work in progress”.

Now, in a new interview, she has said “everyone has stuff going on behind-the-scenes” and that she would never “condemn people for gossiping about my relationship”.

She told Hello!: “Sometimes the people that have the shiniest exterior have the most f***ed up stuff going on. Everyone ahs stuff going on behind-the-scenes and they don’t talk about it, so when it comes to your own relationship, you have to give yourself a break.”

Olivia added that the reality TV industry is “weirder” than most and said she doesn’t blame fans for speculating about her relationship because she does the same.

“Weirder things happen in this industry than any other industry. I don’t condemn people for gossiping about my relationship because I love gossiping about other people.”

Rumours about Olivia’s marriage circulated after she was seen cosying up to Pete. Opening up about the headlines and articles discussing her relationship, she admitted she didn’t have the “perfect relationship”.

She told press: “Me and Brad never pretend to have a perfect relationship, we have been up, down, left, backwards, and the last six months have been really challenging for us. My work and his work take precedence over everything, we have to navigate our relationship all the time. It’s the boring side of being an adult in a long-term relationship, we constantly have to work at it and that’s just the truth.

“No one else really wants to say that part out loud but it is difficult at times. It’s great to post a picture on Instagram but we’re transparent people and it’s not always like that. There are ups and downs, there are things on his side which haven’t been great, there’s a mix of things. I have f***ed up and done stuff, Brad has f***ed up. It’s really easy to pretend you’re perfect but no one is if you just dig a little deeper.”

Some have wondered if those ups and downs are worse than Olivia is letting on. But she has assured fans that it’s not that dire, and that the photos are nothing but pics of two friends.

“People were like, ‘Oh my God, they’re getting a divorce because Pete hugged her’, but that’s not the case. Also, Pete is hugging me, I was just there!

“It was just a holiday to Ibiza, who knew it would cause so much trouble? I was there with KISS, which is why Pete was there and we were hosting for them. We hosted an O Beach event and a couple of my pals joined and we had a few extra days.”
