Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks snubbed from KISS Ibiza trip

OLIVIA Attwood and Pete Wicks have revealed that they were snubbed from a recent trip to Ibiza hosted by KISS Radio.

It comes a year after the duo were seen looking cosy together on a yacht on a different trip with KISS.

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.

Olivia recently hinted at it, saying it’s “great to fall in love” during an appearance on Loose Women where the ladies were discussing the topic of relationships and friendships.

Giving her opinion on the topic, Olivia said: “I love love and it’s great to fall in love and to be in a relationship.”

But not giving too much away, she then explained how its also important to maintain friendships alongside romances.

Olivia continued: “But never neglect those relationships outside, because they will probably be the ones that consist your whole life.”

Pete also hinted at something, getting shy when asked on the spot whether he loves a girl.

During a recent episode of his podcast Staying Relevant, which he co-hosts alongside his best pal Sam Thompson, Sam probed Pete about being spotted with Olivia at Heathrow airport.

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 for Olivia he said the “coffee is worth it.”

Talking of Olivia and Pete’s pap pictures, Sam joked: “You looked really happy to be there.”

Sam then tried to get Pete to confess his love for Olivia, but he failed.

He said: “I love girls. No, no not loads of girls, I love girl… Do you love girl, Pete?”

Poor Pete was lost for words as he tried to keep the conversation moving.

“Not only was it the best brisk wake up, but there was a form of comradery amongst other swimmers, all supporting each other when the cold got a bit too much.

“In the summer, it has the best vibes, especially after ending with a coffee to relax on Tooting Common to warm up.”

Rooftop heaven or cool pool scene — two chic Ibiza escapes to choose from this summer

Collage of a restaurant overlooking a bay, a hotel with a beach, a town on a hill by the sea, and a swimming pool with lounge chairs.

Ibiza might be famed for its sleepless nights, but where you stay can shape the whole experience.

From serene sea-view luxury to buzzy beachside energy, the White Isle serves up escapes to match every mood.

Find rooftop heaven at Ibiza’s Ocean Drive Talamanca,

Sleepless nights are often a given on this island – but not at this stylish retreat. Here, you’ll find panoramic ocean views, an extensive pillow menu and truffles delivered at bedtime. 

 Tucked between Talamanca’s sandy beaches and whitewashed architecture are Ocean Drive’s four pools and 117 rooms, all facing the sparkling waters of Talamanca Cove.  

Our room is decked out with a rainfall shower, floor-to-ceiling windows and a tower speaker – plus a welcome flaó, an Ibizan mint and aniseed cheesecake.

Downstairs, walls are adorned with local modern art, plus there’s a balmy sun terrace and the Almendra Boutique shop, stocked with whimsical Ibizan trinkets.  

We catch the sunset at the hotel’s rooftop Up And Down eatery, and sip Montenovo, a crisp, vibrant white wine, £35 a bottle, while gazing at Ibiza Castle across the bay, as we tuck into fresh seabass and prawns in a rich coconut, oyster and lime sauce, £30. 

Lunch is equally tempting, with indulgent sandwiches loaded with Iberian ham, Mahón cheese and truffle, £24, soaking up our rosé sangria, £7 a glass, before we plunge back into the rooftop pool.

Mornings here are slow and relaxed – breakfast is served until noon and boasts local meats, Spanish cheeses and warm, freshly baked cookies. 

We stroll along Talamanca’s sandy boardwalk ogling the yachts, and stop by B London Boutique to browse the colourful rails of swimsuits, wraps and shades (Blondonboutique.com), before setting up camp on the golden beach.  

This is bliss. Double rooms at Ocean Drive Talamanca cost from £170 per night (Od-hotels.com).  

Seek out Hyde Ibiza. . . For a cool pool scene,

Perched in the hills of Cala Llonga, 15 minutes further along the Isle’s east coast, is boho-chic Hyde Ibiza.  

Head to its main pool, Hyde Beach, for an excellent playlist and cabanas, from £131 a day, to live it up – the fee is redeemable on food and drink.  

At beachside eatery Sonrojo, we order seafood paella, £30, and sangria, £35 a jug.  

Later, we catch the sunset on the terrace of Japanese restaurant Niko, feasting on umami-rich tuna and truffle maki, £24, and miso-glazed black cod, £37.  

Hyde is just steps from the public ferry to Ibiza Town, Santa Eulalia and Leonardo DiCaprio’s fave nearby island, Formentera.  

It’s also just 20 minutes from UNVRS, where we catch David Guetta (Unvrs.com), Ushuaïa, where Calvin Harris performs alfresco (Theushuaiaexperience.com), and Hï Ibiza, with its Wild Corner complete with a DJ booth inside the unisex loos (Hiibiza.com).  

Recovery at beach club Amante proves a winner (Amanteibiza.com), and the views are so impressive that a mate back home thinks my pics are AI! Double rooms at Hyde Ibiza cost from £161 per night (Hydehotels.com/ibiza).
