Olivia Attwood has candidly reflected on a deeply personal chapter of her life, revealing that she once carefully planned her ideal pregnancy before ultimately separating from her ex-husband, Bradley Dack. The former Love Island star shared these insights during a recent episode of her podcast, Olivia’s House, where she welcomed guests Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo—who recently became parents to their baby son, Ziggy.

During the conversation, the trio discussed various aspects of parenthood, including pregnancy, labor, and the early stages of raising a child. Olivia, known for her straightforward and often humorous approach, asked the couple about how they chose the hospital for Sophie’s delivery. This prompted her to reveal that she had once gone as far as researching and budgeting for her own “ideal pregnancy experience.”
She remarked that she had “priced up” everything in advance, only to discover that such a plan would come with a hefty cost. Her blunt observation—“that s**t is not cheap”—highlighted the often-overlooked financial realities of private maternity care, particularly at high-end facilities.
Jamie and Sophie went on to explain that they had indeed explored multiple options before making their final decision. Ultimately, they chose to welcome their son at the prestigious Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital, a well-known private maternity wing that reportedly costs around £6,000 per night. The facility is famous for being the same location where Kate Middleton gave birth to all three of her children, adding a sense of exclusivity and prestige to their choice.
Sophie also mentioned that they had considered The Portland Hospital, another well-known private maternity hospital in London. Olivia quickly responded that it had also been on her own shortlist when she was previously planning for the future, reinforcing just how seriously she had once considered starting a family under carefully controlled circumstances.
However, those plans were ultimately disrupted by the breakdown of her relationship with Bradley Dack. The couple, who tied the knot in 2021, ended their relationship earlier this year amid allegations of infidelity. The situation was further complicated by the revelation that their marriage had never been legally binding, adding another layer of emotional and legal complexity to their separation.
In the months following the split, Olivia’s personal life has continued to attract public attention. In March, she was seen sharing a kiss with Pete Wicks at the Flute Bar in Soho, located in London. Pete, a familiar face from The Only Way Is Essex, has also appeared on shows like Celebs Go Dating and Strictly Come Dancing.
Their apparent closeness did not go unnoticed by fans, especially as the pair were later absent from their usual Sunday slot on Kiss FM, fueling speculation that they had gone on holiday together. Olivia shared glimpses of her getaway on social media, although she stopped short of posting any direct images of Pete. Observant followers, however, pointed out subtle clues—such as a pair of glasses visible in one of her photos—that hinted at his presence.
The duo has reportedly been close friends for years, but recent developments suggest that their relationship may have evolved into something more romantic following Olivia’s separation from Dack. While neither has made any official statements confirming their relationship status, their public appearances and social media activity have certainly sparked widespread interest.

Despite the attention surrounding her personal life, Olivia has also been open about the emotional toll of her breakup. In a recent interview on the Extra Dirty Podcast, she revealed that she endured intense periods of emotional distress during the split, often crying herself to sleep. She admitted that there were moments when her grief felt so overwhelming that she feared she might pass out.
However, she also emphasized her decision to keep those vulnerable moments private. Olivia expressed frustration with public perceptions, particularly the tendency for people to judge her harshly based on her outspoken personality. She recounted receiving a cruel message on TikTok from a stranger who accused her of being “cold” and even wished for her to experience heartbreak.
Olivia reflected on how such comments stem from misunderstandings about her openness. While she is willing to discuss many aspects of her life publicly, she draws a firm line when it comes to sharing her most painful moments. She made it clear that choosing not to post videos of herself crying does not mean she hasn’t suffered deeply.
In her own words, she described how she would cry intensely during the breakup, only to gather herself afterward and continue with her professional commitments. This resilience, she suggested, is often overlooked by critics who mistake her composure for emotional detachment.

Through her candid revelations, Olivia Attwood has offered a glimpse into both the practical and emotional sides of her life—from meticulously planning a future that never came to pass, to navigating the aftermath of a highly publicized breakup. Her story underscores the complexities of modern relationships, the pressures of public scrutiny, and the quiet strength required to move forward while keeping certain struggles out of the spotlight.
