It has been one of the most talked about romances over the last few weeks, following Olivia Attwood’s statement explaining her split from Bradley Dack in March. And while the TV presenter, 35, and Pete Wicks have done their best to remain tight-lipped over their blossoming relationship after they were caught kissing back in March, it seems they have now decided to go public, if these pictures are anything to go by.
The couple, who ignited suspicion of a romance during a KISS event in Ibiza last year, were spotted enjoying a summer evening out last week, while walking through Battersea.
The pair had been dining at Darby’s in London’s Nine Elms and according to onlookers they appeared “loved up.” In one picture Pete and Olivia appeared engrossed in conversation as he smoked a cigarette.
Dressed casually in jeans and a tan jacket, Pete was also spotted placing a loving hand on the base of her back and stroked it, as they walked through a tree-lined area.

Dressed in light denim jeans, Olivia appeared far more glamorous for the occasion as she teamed her look with a black shirt and her blonde tresses were draped over her shoulder, in a Farrah Fawcett style look.
The pair seemed oblivious to onlookers while enjoying a cigarette break. Olivia explained the reason for her split with the Gillingham footballer in a statement released on social media in March, and cited infidelity throughout their relationship.
But it was her cosy embrace with Pete last year that caused a stir among fans – as she was still married. At the time, pictures surfaced that showed the former TOWIE star place a hand on Olivia’s thigh as they basked in the sun while on board a yacht.

Addressing the media circus surrounding the Ibiza pictures, Olivia claimed that her marriage was going through “difficult times.”
She admitted: “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.”

She added: “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.”
The TV presenter and podcaster continued: “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.”
