The Mean Girl Whispers: Olivia Attwood's ITV Dilemma
The ITV bosses are in a bind. They've been searching for a new Holly Willoughby for a while, but now they've set their sights on Olivia Attwood. With her relatable blonde charm and ITV2 presence, she seemed like the perfect fit. But as whispers grow louder, a different picture emerges.
The 'Mean Girl' Label
Olivia's 'girl next door' persona has impressed some, but others whisper doubts. The recent divorce news from her professional footballer husband, Bradley Dack, has raised eyebrows. Rumors swirl about her 'friendship' with Pete Wicks, a Towie heartthrob, and her treatment of Dack throughout their marriage. It's a toxic split, and it's raising questions.
The Clues Were There
From the start, there were hints. On her ITV reality show, 'Olivia Marries Her Match', she goaded her husband-to-be about his height, a seemingly trivial matter that caused anger among friends. Her comments about Dack's perceived shortcomings, though meant as jokes, were deemed nasty. It's a pattern that's raised eyebrows.
The Price of Perfection
Olivia's projects, including 'Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection' and 'Olivia Attwood: Getting Filthy Rich', have earned her 'hundreds of thousands' from ITV. She's moved into a bachelorette pad, funded by the channel. But the price of perfection might be higher than expected.
The Friendship Conundrum
ITV's plans for Olivia hang in the balance due to her friendship with Pete Wicks. Sources describe them as 'closer than close', with some predicting a potential couple announcement. This friendship has caused anxiety and worries among ITV executives, fearing it could scupper their plans. The question remains: is Olivia the golden girl ITV wants?
The Manipulative Image
Olivia's relationship with Chris Hughes on 'Chris & Olivia: Crackin’ On' raised eyebrows. Her manipulation and nastiness towards Chris made the show uncomfortable to watch, leading to their break-up. Her comments about Chris's new relationship with JoJo Siwa have also been barbed, causing anger among his friends and team.
The Loose Women Dilemma
At Loose Women, Olivia's reputation precedes her. Her decision to bring her own glam squad has left co-stars bewildered. The question arises: is she the down-to-earth, normal woman she's portrayed as? Her best friend and personal assistant, Ryan Kay, has cut ties, further adding to the mystery.
