Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks said KISS Radio snubbed them from the Ibiza party this yearCredit: GettyThe pair partied together last year and were caught looking rather cosy on a yachtCredit: Not known, clear with picture desk
At the time, uproar arose because Olivia was still married to former flame Bradley Dack.
Though the TV presenter Olivia and ex-Towie’s Pete are now dating, after being seen kissing in a bar in March.
Speaking about the snub on their Sunday Roast podcast, Olivia and Pete addressed the “elephant in the room”.
Olivia began: “Pete I can’t believe we haven’t actually addressed the elephant in the room.

“I wasn’t sure how to address it but basically… this year we haven’t been invited back to Ibiza Pete…’
Pete then chimed in, saying: ‘I’m disappointed to be honest with you. I don’t know if it was our performance last year or what we did but we have been put on the bench. We’ve been replaced actually.
“This week KISS has been out in Ibiza for the opening parties and last year we got an invite but this year Tyler (West) and Chloe Burrows are going.”
Olivia quipped back: “Yeah I can’t imagine why we weren’t invited…”
It comes after Olivia and Pete have been hinting that they are an item after being friends for over a decade.
Sam asked: “Do you like to go to the airport frequently when you’re not flying?”
Pete replied: “Yeah when I’m around. I bumped into a few people I know and that. It’s just one of those things sometimes I like to go to the airport to get my coffee, there’s a really good Cafe Nero there.”
Former I’m A Celeb star Sam argued that Heathrow was quite a way from Pete’s home but appearing to use a clever euphemism forOliviahe said the “coffee is worth it.”
Talking of Olivia and Pete’s pap pictures, Sam joked: “You looked really happy to be there.”

Lee has not been in contact with wife Katie since May 13 at 10pm.

Katie continued: “Well mine’s missing, so at the moment it doesn’t look good, does it?”
Olivia, who split from husband Bradley Dack earlier this year, replied: “No, we’ll keep looking I guess.”
Katie looked at the camera and said:” We’re missing our husbands,” which prompted Olivia to burst out laughing.
They followed it up with a picture of them looking shocked with their hands covering their mouth.
Olivia captioned it: “2 gals. Not a husband in sight.”
It comes after Lee appeared to be active on Instagram AGAIN after false claims that he was arrested.
Now, Insiders have said that Lee was active on his phone on Monday afternoon – and has removed his OnlyFans link from his Instagram bio.
They explained: “I had been messaging Lee and was getting no response.
“But on Sunday morning, my messages had gone from a single tick to a double – so that device is back on and being used.
“Lee has multiple phones but this is the one that is being used now.”
Despite claims Lee had been arrested, Katie insisted yesterday that this was not true.
She hit back at Peter Andrews and said she had spoken to the police in Dubai.
The former glamour model was left furious last week when Lee – who she’d been led to believe had been kidnapped – returned to social media to follow ‘biker babe’ Marisol on Instagram.

“Olivia loves the brand and they love working with her so it’s a perfect fit. She’s got so many deals on the table right now”.

Olivia, who rose to fame on series three of Love Island in 2017, has also featured in a Maybelline campaign for its Sky High mascara in recent weeks.
That’s alongside her fashion collaboration with River Island, her TV and radio work and her popular podcast, Olivia’s House.
“When I’m doing television and radio, people ask, ‘Why a podcast?’. The podcast is a connection with my audience that’s so direct.
“I also wanted it to aesthetically represent the vibe that I feel like it reflects me and my style more.”
She also added to Mail Online in March after her ITV series Getting Filthy Rich and The Price Of Perfection were picked up by Disney+: “Love Island is huge in America, the UK one so I feel really lucky there was already quite a large US audience on my Instagram, they are definitely happy to have the shows available, also in Australia as well.
“I’m very happy with my career as it is right now. I mean I’ve had offers, I’m not looking to jump ship right now, but yes, at some point I’m sure we’ll do something over there.”
OLIVIA Attwood has shared a slew of snaps from a luxury countryside break, with several fans spotting a very clear sign Pete Wicks was with her.
Last week the lovebirds werespotted at Heathrow airportafter Pete picked up his podcast co-host and rumoured love interest.

And lastmonth, Pete and ITV star Olivia flew to St Tropez on a secret holiday after they were spotted publicly snogging in a Soho bar.
The pair have now added fuel to the fire… literally, by sharing near-identical snaps from near-identical getaways.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday night, Olivia shared a photo dump of a very plush stay at Estelle Manor – the same place Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton headed on a secret date weekend.
Among the photos Liv shared were snaps of her rescue dogs, stunning selfies, gym workout pics, and a close up snap of a rustic fireplace.

Fans were quick to spot how not long before Liv’s dump, Pete had shared a slew of snaps himself, with one of the photos being of the exact same fireplace.
Fans rushed to the comments section to speculate that Olivia and Pete had spent time together at the stunning manor house.
“I love the subtle you & Pete posting pics of the same fire. I love you two xxx,” penned one person.
“Interesting why you would lie on your stories about being there by yourself when it looks like the same fireplace on pete’s post,” added a second.
“@p_wicks01has@olivia_attwoodstolen your dog and your pad and pen??” asked a third.
“We need more @p_wicks01 content on here @olivia_attwood . I live and breathe for this shit on the daily! please give the people what they want,” pleaded a fourth.
“Ahhh Estelle Manor!!! What a place,” offered a fifth, while a sixth said: “If it’s good enough for Kim & Lewis….”
Meanwhile, on Pete’s post, one person wrote: “Waiting for your and livs pictures together………”
The talked-about pair reportedly begun their relationship at the Brit Awards on February 28.
A source close to the pair told us at the time that they were “dating and enjoying their time together.”
Their apparent romance heated up last month as they jetted off to St Tropez for a cosy holiday.
In a blink and you’ll miss it moment from one of Liv’s vlogs, Pete could be seen in the reflection in a mirror, smiling as Olivia celebrated her big day with her nearest and dearest.
She split from husband Bradley Dack back in January following a “breach of trust” on his part.
Olivia moved out of the marital home and into her own apartment in London.
OLIVIA Attwood is certainly embracing the luxury lifestyle after forking out for a handbag worth close to what many Brits take home in a year.
The bag, equivalent to around eight months’ pay for the average worker, was bought by Olivia a few months before turning 35.

Sharing snaps online, Olivia wrote: “I got this baby in Paris in Jan and today is her first day out,” before adding: “Taking her on an adventure.”
The former Love Island star is continuing her celebrations by jetting off to the US – taking her new handbag with her.
The £26k Hermès Birkin Olivia was travelling with appears to be a Birkin 30 in Rouge H leather with palladium hardware – one of the fashion house’s most sought-after styles.
Birkin bags are famously difficult to buy, with shoppers often facing years-long waiting lists and needing a strong purchase history with Hermès before being offered one.

The stunning star celebrated her birthday over the weekend as she hosted what she called “Olivia’s Birthday Bender” with pals.
The TV favourite was all smiles in green as she was presented with a birthday cake featuring the message “Another year around the pole” alongside a naked Barbie doll.

Longtime friends and radio co-hosts Olivia and Pete were caught snogging in a popular bar in Soho earlier this year before jetting off to France on a secret holiday last month.
A source close to the pair previously told us they were “dating and enjoying their time together.”
OLIVIA Attwood has taken to social media to thank “all my boys” as she received thousands of pounds worth of designer gifts for her birthday amid her romance heating up with Pete Wicks.
The TV star turned 35-years-old today and was certainly “spoiled” by those close to her.

Olivia and her KISS radio co-host Pete were spotted kissing in a Soho bar earlier this year just weeks after her split from footballer Bradley Dack.
The pair then jetted off on a secret holiday enjoying a three-night break at the luxury Lily of the Valley hotel in St Tropez, France.
Taking to her Instagram stories giving fans a sneak peak at her big day, Olivia gushed over her boys, who went all out – getting her lavish gifts from Hermes and Cartier.
Writing over a snap of her new silver Hermes clutch bag, Olivia said: “I can’t,” followed by a slew of crying emojis.

Olivia posted another picture of a Cartier bag and she penned: “Screaming throwing up.”
The Loose women panellist then shared a very cryptic snap of a bottle of champagne and an envelope, which said on the front: “Love you! Savano.”
This comes just days after she got the mystery name tattooed on her arm.
Olivia has previously referred to the name “Savano” as “my baby,” which has left fans speculating that she’s referring to former TOWIE star Pete, 37.
While away on their romantic getaway a source close to the pair told The Sun: “They’re dating and enjoying their time together.
“It was at a really quiet, private resort so they were able to properly chill out away from all the drama.”
Elsewhere on her Instagram stories, Olivia uploaded a snap of two of her pals posing with a balloon and flowers. She captioned the picture: “All my boys are spoiling me today.”
Later on, the star shared some behind the scenes of her bougie birthday bash – she could be seen smiling and sipping on a hugo spritz as she prepared to get her makeup done.
OLIVIA Attwood has revealed her brand new tattoo as she added another ink to her collection, and made a dig at her ex Bradley Dack in the process.
The TV presenter has several tattoos for her footballer ex, including his shirt number – 23 – and one which says ’till death’; with the other half of the phrase, ‘do us part’, inked on the sportsman.

DECADES on from when ‘Ladette’ culture dominated the 1990s, the trend appears to be making a comeback – with popular TV stars at the forefront.
Olivia Attwood and Helen Flanagan are leading the charge as they rally against a polished media profile in favour of authenticity… just like original ladettes Sara Cox, Zoe Ball and Denise Van Outen.

From Olivia’s raucous holiday with Pete Wicks instead of her husband, to Helen starring in steamy dating shows with three kids at home, the girls are proving they won’t apologise for doing what they want – despite facing backlash over their part in the era’s resurgence.
It follows a spell of female stars in the spotlight – like Holly Willoughby – who took on the “good girl” image – with any suggestion of naughtiness carefully constructed for dramatic effect.
PR and Entertainment expert Lynn Carratt said: “The ladette era was famous in the late 90s, early 00s as an era in which women ruled supreme.
“And now it appears the boozy and unfiltered 90s trend is enjoying a second wave.

“TV stars Olivia Attwood and Helen Flanagan appear to be leading the revival with the same throwback energy – loud, emotional, unpredictable, and unapologetically visible – like Sara Cox and Zoe Ball, back in the day.”
While Holly Willoughby was famous for juggling being the nation’s sweetheart on This Morning, alongside her role as a doting wife and mother of three, younger female celebrities don’t feel the need to pretend they have it all figured out.
The 45-year-old would feign shock and giggle behind her hand at any filthy humour on her ITV2 show Celebrity Juice, which aired after 9pm, but her hangovers after the National Television Awards became a well known skit.
In 2016, dressed in her ballgown from the night before, Holly hosted This Morning alongside Phillip Schofield in a tux, telling viewers: “I haven’t been home yet. I came straight here.”
It became a running joke every year about Holly’s “wild” night out – but those behind the scenes suggest it was all carefully curated.

Then, along came former Love Island star Olivia who has become ITV‘s newest darling – presenting a host of shows including Bad Boyfriends and Getting Filthy Rich.
The 34-year-old has recently separated from her husband of three years, footballer Bradley Dack.
She says the split has made her feel “incredibly passionate” about being self-sufficient.
“Navigating what I’ve been going through, the fact I have my own place and car, I can’t even imagine not being able to look after myself,” she says.

Last summer, she ended up in the doghouse with her then-husband Brad when she was pictured cuddled up to close pal Pete on a yacht in Ibiza.
The pair have since struck up a secret romance following her marriage split in January. Pals insist “there was no overlap”.
Soon after her wild week with pals in Ibiza where she was spotted dancing on a boat in a thong bikini, downing shots and posting hungover pics, Olivia was back on This Morning presenting.

Lynn added: “You have to hand it to Olivia Attwood, she has managed to do what few reality stars achieve to do and turn notoriety into a high-profile media career.
“She is a permanent fixture on ITV with presenting roles and prime-time appearances, she has built a success podcast brand, as well as appearing on Kiss.
“She one of reality TV’s most in-demand personalities and has developed a polished media profile. But sitting alongside that something far more chaotic behind the scenes: headline-making holidays, relationship drama and brutally honest social media posts that regularly ignite debate and she likes to party.
“One minute she’s fronting glossy TV projects, the next she’s dominating tabloid headlines with candid revelations about love, life and everything in between.
“It seems like controlled chaos, but it’s working for her.”

She has been outspoken about the criticism she’s faced for taking part, particularly as a mother.
‘I find it empowering,” Helen said previously.
“There have been comments on social media suggesting I shouldn’t be doing a show like that as a mum of three, but no one would say that about a dad.
“Women should be allowed to have fun and enjoy themselves too.”

Lynn added: “Helen has stepped firmly back into the reality TV spotlight and is currently appearing on Celebrity Ex on the Beach, enjoying herself in a villa under 24/7 filming, sun-soaked conditions and constant emotional scrutiny.
“The former soap star and mum of three was filmed constantly in bikinis, drinking, flirting and kissing on screen, embracing a level of unfiltered reality television that feels ripped straight from the early 2000s.
“Helen’s comments strike at the heart of the debate surrounding modern ladette culture: who gets to be seen as ‘wild’, and who gets judged for it.”
So why now is there a resurgence of the 90s ladette era?
Lynn continues: “In an era of heavily curated Instagram perfection and tightly managed celebrity branding, audiences are increasingly drawn to the opposite – unpredictability, imperfection and personalities who don’t play it safe.
“Olivia Attwood and Helen Flanagan sit at the centre of this shift.
“One balancing mainstream ITV success with headline-grabbing personal drama, the other embracing high-emotion reality television where nothing is off-limits.
“And right now, they are doing anything but staying quiet.”

Olivia, who was wearing a £2k leather jacket from Magda Butrym, and Pete were snapped by a fan at the Broadwick Hotel in London’s Soho on Friday evening.
The fan said: “Everyone knows they’re dating now even though they’ve not confirmed it, but it was still surprising to see the PDA.
“It goes beyond the hand on arm and hugging we’ve seen from them in public since the pics of them kissing first emerged.
“They just looked like a normal couple on date night, holding hands.
Earlier in the day, Olivia and Pete looked equally loved up as they smoked a cigarette outside a London office.
The pair only had eyes for each other as they chatted happily together.
Olivia was dressed casually in a white tracksuit, as she enjoyed her new man’s company.
It comes after the new couple have just returned from a secret getaway to the South of France.
The pair, who were also spotted on a romantic dog walk, were seen collecting their luggage from the baggage carousel at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport in the South of France on Sunday.

Former Love Island star Olivia, and podcast co-host Pete flew Business Class on British Airways from London’s Heathrow to Nice.
An onlooker said: “They were seen at the gate and they were very loved-up and cuddling each other.
“They were trying to keep a low profile by wearing baseball caps.
“They were kissing at the gate and couldn’t keep their hands off each other.

“They were sitting in Business Class together.
“At the luggage carousel they were cuddling and kissing and headed off together.”
Olivia and Pete usually host their own Kiss FM radio show together on Sundays but were absent from the programme this week as they jetted off on their secret holiday.
The Sun revealed how the pair enjoyed a three-night break at the luxury Lily of the Valley hotel in St Tropez – costing £1,000 a night.
Eagle-eyed fans mused how they had spotted Pete’s trademark glasses on the table in one of Olivia’s social media pics from the trip
It led one fan to remark to The Sun: “It seems they tried to keep it all under wraps but seeing Pete’s glasses in the background of Olivia’s snaps appeared to give the game away.”
The Sun has contacted reps for Olivia and Pete for comment.
