Olivia Attwood's husband posts gushing tribute on her birthday
Football hunk Bradley Dack has paid a gushing tribute to wife Olivia Attwood to mark her birthday. The Gillingham FC midfielder, 31, has been married to former Love Island contestant Olivia since 2023.
On Friday, the TV babe turned 34-years-old - and is preparing to celebrate her happy returns this Saturday night. Taking to Instagram on the actual day of her birth, Bradley paid a gushing tribute to his wife as they prepared to celebrate together.
He uploaded a string of images of them from across the years - selecting a close up of them kissing on their wedding day as the hero image of the album. Other snaps showed the couple in bars and at home and, of course, on a beach in Dubai - with beaming smiles being a consistent feature on their loved-up photos.
In a heartfelt message to Olivia, the footballer wrote: "From how it is now to where it started and everything in between. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my beautiful wife.
"So proud of the person you have become and continue to be.. You've been there through it all and always had my back, so I'm always grateful to have you on my team cause I couldn't ask for anyone better to do life with. I hope you have a special day and then we can really celebrate tomorrow."
And he signed off adding: "P.S there may be some embarrassing videos coming up on this app today. Love You" - along with crying-with-laughter emojis.
Olivia appeared to take the threat of embarrassing videos seriously as she joked back that she may take legal action against him if he shared anything too damning.
In an amusing response, she wrote: "My legal team is on standby, don't make me call them" - but also added emotional faced emojis and a black heart emoji to her comment.
Olivia shot to fame in 2017 when she was a contestant on Love Island in which she partnered with recent Celebrity Big Brother contestant Chris Hughes as they embarked on an ultimately doomed romance. While the pair grew close in the villa, the romance soured once the cameras turned off and they returned to their lives in the UK.
The couple endured a bitter break-up - and Olivia rushed back into the arms of her now husband, who she reportedly dated before she entered the Love Island villa during season three of the now long-running ITV reality dating show. Olivia has enjoyed further fame on camera as a cast member of the reality show The Only Way Is Essex, and she also hosts a range of investigative documentaries for ITV.
Liv and Brad swapped vows on 3 June 2023 in an intimate ceremony at a five-star hotel in Knightsbridge. The couple said said "I Do" in front of 80 guests, including family friends, and Love Island stars including Amber Davies and Georgia Harrison.
The couple have welcomed cameras into their own lives since 2020 in the reality docu-series Olivia Meets Her Match which shows how the couple are getting on in their relationship.
The couple previously gushed over their plans to marry - and to continue their reality show that counted down to their big day. In a trailer released back in 2023, Olivia said: "This is the moment we have been waiting for. This is going to be a fairytale. Husband and wife.'
Bradley then added: "I'm about to marry the love of my life. [I won't cry] as I don't want to mess up my make-up." The series is yet to return to ITV since the most recent batch of episodes which were released in 2023.

Stevie Nicks cancels tour dates just days before first gig due to injury
Stevie Nicks has been forced to postpone a series of upcoming tour dates after sustaining a shoulder fracture that requires time to heal. The 76-year-old music icon took to Instagram to share the news directly with fans, confirming that concerts scheduled for August and September will be rescheduled. 'Due to a recent injury resulting in a fractured shoulder that will require recovery time, Stevie Nicks' scheduled concerts in August and September will be rescheduled,' she wrote. 'Please note that October dates will be unaffected.' The Fleetwood Mac legend added that the tour is expected to resume on Wednesday, October 1 in Portland, Oregon. 'Stevie looks forward to seeing everyone soon and apologizes to the fans for this inconvenience,' the message concluded. Fans who have already purchased tickets are advised to retain them, as they will be valid for the rescheduled shows. Specific details about new dates and venues will be made available at the original point of purchase. Nicks had initially announced a nine-date tour across the US and Canada back in April, with performances slated for August and October. Due to overwhelming demand, additional shows were later added, including a launch night at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on August 8, as well as stops in Hollywood, Florida and Detroit in September. October was set to bring her to cities including Portland, Sacramento, Atlantic City, Charlotte, and Hartford. The news comes after Nicks postponed her Glasgow gig at short notice after having minor surgery for a leg injury. The Dreams singer was due to appear at the OVO Hydro earlier this month but organisers said she needs a 'few days of recovery' following a medical procedure. Even more recently, Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham officially confirmed the re-release of their 1973 duo album Buckingham Nicks. The famously acrimonious former bandmates caused fans to 'crash out' with a matching pair of social media posts in June, and then the appearance of a mysterious billboard a few days later. More Trending Many took to social media to speculate that the pair might finally be on speaking terms again after famously feuding for decades. Then, they informed the world that a re-release of Buckingham Nicks – which they recorded before joining Fleetwood Mac – will be available September 19. For now, fans will need to wait just a little longer to see the mystical frontwoman return to the stage. The silver lining? Nicks plans to be back on the road this autumn. Got a story?

'Molly-Mae Hague's parenting woes are tougher than most - she shouldn't be shamed for it'
EXCLUSIVE: Former Love Island star and mum-of-one Molly-Mae Hague says she's overwhelmed by motherhood amid backlash - but experts have urged fans to be empathic over critical Reality star and influencer Molly-Mae Hague has recently revealed the intense challenges she is facing as a mother, openly sharing moments of emotional strain as she navigates parenthood with two-year-old daughter Bambi. The former Love Island star, 26, welcomed Bambi with partner Tommy Fury in 2023, but Molly-Mae has been faced with seemingly endless challenges since. However, an expert has insisted that her candidness offers an important reminder of the realities many new parents endure but are rarely seen or discussed publicly. In a recent tearful video, Molly-Mae spoke about feeling overwhelmed amid the pressures of raising her daughter Bambi, particularly as she goes through what many know as the "terrible twos." It comes after Molly-Mae sobbed in a YouTube video after she was called 'out of touch' by fans. The 25-year-old said: 'I just feel overwhelmed. I feel like my brain is jumbled, and I don't feel like myself anymore.' She described the exhaustion and mental load that come with constant parenting demands, admitting that motherhood has been far tougher than she anticipated. The video struck a chord with many parents, who praised her honesty, though it also drew criticism from others who accused her of being 'out of touch' due to her high-profile lifestyle and for being "too soft" when Bambi throws her tantrums. However, behavioural experts say Molly-Mae's experience is far from unusual and stresses the importance of compassion in tough parenting situations like hers. Dr. Hannah Richards, a behavioural psychologist specialising in parental wellbeing, told The Mirror: "Parenthood is a profound psychological and emotional transition. "Feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, and self-doubt are common, especially during challenging developmental stages like the toddler years. For public figures like Molly-Mae, the scrutiny intensifies the pressure, making it harder to cope." Dr. Richards points out that societal expectations often create an unrealistic picture of motherhood as always joyful and as easy as it looks. 'The truth is much more complex. Parenting involves highs and lows, and being honest about struggles is crucial to breaking down stigma.' Molly-Mae's decision to share her vulnerability publicly is helping to broaden conversations about the true nature of parenting. 'It's okay not to have everything figured out,' she recently said, encouraging others to be open about their difficulties. Her experience with Bambi's 'terrible twos', which is a stage marked by increased independence and testing behaviours, can be challenging for any parent says Dr. Richards. "This developmental phase can push parents to their limits, and admitting to struggles is a sign of strength, not weakness," she says. Despite the huge backlash from thousands of fans, other supporters applauded Molly-Mae for shedding light on the emotional realities many parents face in private. One fan commented: "Seeing her be so honest helps people understand they're not alone in feeling overwhelmed." Another echoed: "She's literally a 26-year-old girl trying to navigate being in the public eye, being a businesswoman, and being a mum. Give her some grace." As more public figures like Molly-Mae share their honest journeys, mental health professionals are hoping that society will grow more empathetic and supportive toward new parents. 'Instead of judging, we should offer understanding and compassion," Dr. Richards concludes. "Parenthood is one of life's most demanding transitions and everyone deserves support. People shouldn't judge Molly-Mae for being honest."
