Reality star Olivia Attwood has described the breakdown of her relationship with footballer Bradley Dack as "utterly humiliating".

In posts shared on Instagram on Tuesday, the 34-year-old former Love Island contestant said she had ended the relationship after what she described as years of lying and cheating.

Attwood wrote: "I have stood by Brad for the last 10 years during which he lied and cheated on me multiple times.

"The breakdown of our relationship is because of this."

The posts come after the couple made headlines earlier this month when it emerged that the London hotel where they held their 2023 wedding ceremony did not have a marriage licence at the time, meaning the marriage was not legally binding.

An appointment to complete the paperwork at a registry office in Cheshire had been arranged for a number of weeks later, but was later cancelled.

In a further Instagram post, Attwood criticised what she called "disgusting things" written about her relationship in recent months.

She said that in January, after being told of another alleged incident involving Dack and another woman, she decided "it was time to finally leave".

"I'm not losing my job, I’m not pulling the wool over any one eyes. Yes, I’m dating," she wrote.

"Yes, I’m getting up every single day even when I have cried all night to film the shows I love filming, record my podcast, record my radio show, shoot campaigns. And, somewhere in there, try to move on."

Attwood rose to fame on Love Island in 2017 and later appeared as a regular cast member on The Only Way Is Essex.

She has since fronted and appeared in a number of ITV programmes, including The Price Of Perfection and Bad Boyfriends, and joined Loose Women as a panellist in 2023.

Her relationship with Dack, and their wedding preparations, were documented in the ITV series Olivia Meets Her Match and Olivia Marries Her Match.

A representative for Dack has been contacted for comment.
