The TV star explained her "controversial" joke at the Brit Awards, telling fans: "I'm very protective of my friends."
It came after Pete told MailOnline: "It's hard for Sam Thompson tonight because I've got a new work wife. But, he's not far away, he's over there actually."
He added: "It is a little bit weird because it feels like I am..."
"Cheating?" Olivia laughed, referencing Maura's claims that Pete was "probably out cheating" on Valentine's Day.

Pointing out she was making a joke of the situation, Olivia said: "Cheating's not funny. Pete didn't cheat. That is the joke. Hope that helps."
She added: "Well I appreciate that you could read between the lines - I had to comment because A LOT of people couldn't - because that's not something I would find funny at all.

Olivia added: "When I get up in my feelings I probably shouldn't do coded Instagram Stories because then things get misconstrued. I'll just say it with my chest in future if I'm upset."
She was referring to a cryptic post she shared recently, claiming she had a secret that would "blow your f***ing mind."
Olivia said: "One day I'm going to write a book and some of the stuff I have managed to keep [zipped mouth emoji] on over the years.
"It will blow your f***ing mind.

"You can try to hire all the same people, regurgitate my stories as your own, study the playbook, follow the recipe blah blah blah, but it will NEVER taste the same. That's all."
It was revealed earlier this year that reality TV duo Pete and Maura had split after a series of fiery rows.
Sources have since claimed that the ITV2 beauty called it quits after discovering her man was chatting with "loads" of girls online.
They had spent Christmas together after their six-year friendship turned romantic.

Pete Wicks and Maura Higgins' relationship timeline
Maura and Pete are believed to have met for the first time in 2019, following her stint on Love Island. She late said they "just clicked".
In August 2024, the pair were spotted enjoying a lunch date together in London's Soho.
The following month, Maura showed her support to Pete following the release of his book Never Enough: My Words Unfiltered. She wrote online: "Proud of you."
In October, Pete appeared on Olivia Attwood's podcast and was grilled about his romance with Maura. Olivia said: "Your dating life. Maura Higgins." Pete replied: "Me and Maura have known each other for a long time." Olivia told him she'd seen a photo of them kissing.
Maura spoke briefly about Pete on Paul C Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast in the same month. She said: "We just get on very, very well. I adore him, he's an amazing person."
Later in October, Maura and Pete were spotted kissing and cuddling several times; once at the Pride Of Britain afterparty and again during a dinner date.
Maura jetted off to the jungle for I'm A Celebrity in November. But she continued to pretend nothing was going on. Maura told GK Barry: 'No, I'm single. People can date and not be in a relationship and take things slow. What's the point in getting them involved too soon, when you just don't know where it's gonna go, you know?'
In December, Maura and Pete flew to Ireland and spent Christmas together. The pair broke cover and gave fans a glimpse inside their cosy lake house.
Just weeks later, Pete told The Times that he was "s*** scared" of settling down. He also appeared in Loose Women in February and spoke about his fears of commitment.
On February 14, Valentine's Day, it was reported that Pete and Maura had split up.

Lucy Mecklenburgh puts on a leggy display in a stylish white skirt as she celebrates fiancé Ryan Thomas' birthday at Sexy Fish in Manchester
Lucy Mecklenburgh and fiancé Ryan Thomas looked loved-up as they arrived at Sexy Fish in Manchester on Tuesday to celebrate his 41st birthday. The former TOWIE star, 33, cut a trendy figure in a white and green patterned co-ord set as she walked hand-in-hand with her actor partner. Lucy put on a leggy display in the mini skirt, which she wore tucked into a black plunging blouse and layered over a matching blazer. She elevated her frame in a pair of black heels and toted her belongings in a matching clutch. Styling her long brunette tresses in loose waves, the reality star accessorised her ensemble with a pair of sunglasses and chunky gold earrings. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Meanwhile, Ryan looked dapper in a fitted white T-shirt which he paired with beige trousers and matching trainers. The couple - who are parents to son Roman, five, and daughter Lilah, three - looked happier than ever as they celebrated Ryan's special day. Coronation Street star Ryan is also a proud father to actress daughter Scarlett, 16, from a previous relationship with Tina O'Brien. The celebrations come after Lucy broke down in tears earlier this year as she took to TikTok to document 'one of the most emotional weeks of her life'. She was overcome with emotion as she Ryan and their kids packed up their 'memory filled' family home ahead of their move to a new property in Manchester. Lucy explained she'd bought the house as a single woman 11 years ago, but now the family needed more space. As photos were taken down from the walls of her daughter's bedroom and furniture packed away, the former TOWIE star sobbed saying she never expected the process to be such an emotional one. She said: 'One of the most emotional weeks of my life, I really didn't expect to get so emotional but I moved out of my home of 11-years this week. That's how we spent out half term, actually the kids had the best time'. The celebrations come after Lucy broke down in tears earlier this year as she took to TikTok to document 'one of the most emotional week of her life' 'We had mixed emotions because we outgrew this house so long ago, we've made the big move to Manchester and we're really happy. But there are so many memories I have hung onto in this house'. 'I went from being single, my first big renovation project, it was my first real home since moving out of my parents I guess. I brought my babies back from hospital here and honestly there's something about that, that I could never get rid of this house,'. Lucy continued: 'So we just made it work over the years, but it definitely wasn't big enough, we didn't have enough bedrooms, enough storage'. She went on to say that despite her tears the family had definitely made the right decision and it was 'time to go'. 'Seeing the rooms empty, is just the bit that made me cry,' she added.

These Are The Most Thoughtful Father's Day Gifts We've Seen This Year
Maybe your dad is easy to buy for. Maybe you always know what to get him, and he's really grateful to receive your gift. In my experience, this is not the case. I have struggled with birthdays, Christmases and most definitely Father's Day. After all, the latter is the day when you're supposed to show your care and (extreme) gratitude for the endless lifts he gave you and your friends for years on end (just me?). Just where does one find presents that feel personal and special but also remain affordable? I'll tell you: it's Bloom & Wild. You may be thinking that Bloom & Wild is the name you associate with beautiful flowers, both in letterbox and hand-tied form. While you're right, what you need to know is that the brand has expanded its gift offerings of late and now offers the most incredible array of unique ideas for every occasion. For Father's Day, this means utterly delicious hampers filled with all his favourite things, sweet treats that will fit through the letterbox and even a 'pub in a box', which involves a selection of great beers and yummy snacks. In short, there's a present fit for every dad, regardless of taste, from as little as £20. That's not all, though. Bloom & Wild is also offering a super-cute personalised present for your dad that won't cost you anything at all, to celebrate those everyday acts of care that makes every dad so special. The brand has developed a prompt for ChatGPT which asks for a photo of your dad and a little bit of text explaining what you're grateful for (from cups of tea to invaluable DIY skills), which it will then use to generate a personalised stamp which you can send. Instructions on exactly how to do this are below, and Bloom & Wild is even running a competition to let one lucky winner receive a glorious bouquet for themselves, as well as a bundle of Father's Day goodies. All you need to do is follow the brand on Instagram, then like its post going live on Tuesday 11th June. Then, simply create your stamp and share it, tagging @bloomandwild as you do so. The winner will be announced on Friday, 13th June. 1. Go go ChatGPT (or your AI image-creation tool of choice). Avoid Gemini, as it's not great at putting image on text! 2. Copy and paste the following prompt, filling in the blanks. 3. For a super personalised result, upload a photo of your father figure My [father figure] shows he cares by [insert act of care]. Turn this into a snappy headline suitable for a social media post, paired with a caring, thoughtful two-line rhyming poem that has a warm, witty tone. Use British English, and ensure the spelling is 100% accurate and the copy is grammatically correct. Then generate and place this into a grainy, vintage postage stamp-style image inspired by a 1920s poster ad, using a flat vector illustration style. Preserve the original character likeness and pose. Use vintage colours including the color palette: #447964 (green) #F9ECD7 (cream) #FDF888 (yellow). Design features must include: Perforated border edges, Bold visual highlights, Light noise texture throughout, Stamp must be rotated exactly 18 degrees and scaled to 70%, always centered in frame, Aspect ratio: 9:16, Style: v6 raw —ar 9:16. Overlay 1–2 distressed ink stamp marks. In the bottom right corner of the stamp, add the brand name: 'SENT WITH LOVE BY BLOOM & WILD' — in the same size font as surrounding text. Final image should evoke the nostalgic charm and emotional tone of a 1920s advertisement. Never again will I worry about what to buy for the man who has, until now, been impossible to buy for.

Former Love Island contestant is East Kilbride's first summer signing as boss hails 'athletic and powerful' striker
Kilby have snapped up Ouzy See as they make moves to bolster their squad for a League Two title tilt East Kilbride boss Mick Kennedy reckons 'athletic and powerful' ex-Love Island contestant Ouzy See will earn plenty of admirers at Casa K-Park this season after joining the Lowland League champions. Former Edinburgh City striker See is Kennedy's first signing of the SPFL era and the Love Island heartthrob - who featured in the 2023 edition of the hit ITV reality series - is bound to catch the eye as they embark on their first campaign in League Two after winning the Lowland League last term. The striker scored 31 goals in 99 appearances for the Citizens and Kilby will be hoping he can fire them to another promotion. Kennedy said: "If you look at his time at Edinburgh City, he was really successful and was the focal point of the team. Certainly in League One, League Two, he is one of the best striker around so I'm delighted to get him. "He fits the profile for us. He's athletic, powerful and he looks after himself. I have no doubt he will be a fantastic signing for us." On the Love Island appearance, Kennedy added: "Most of the boys are quite tight with Ouzy so I think he's already had a ribbing about Love Island. That was a couple of years ago now and I don't expect him to be doing anything like that again. "There was a bit of competition to get him, but I think he really bought into the project here and what we are trying to achieve." Kennedy is excited to see how See will link-up with strike partner Cami Elliott, who netted 41 goals for Kilby in their promotion-winning campaign. See hit eight goals for City in 28 appearances last term, but Kennedy insists that it is not just about goals for him. He addeed: "Ouzy will be a very good addition and a great foil for Cami Elliott as well. I think Cami will be here for the foreseeable future and the two of them can work well together. "If you look at Cami, his season before he came back to us wasn't very high in terms of goals but he really hit the levels last season. "Ouzy will score more than eight goals next season, I'm sure, but centre forwards are about more than just goals for us. It is about their abilty to occupy the centre-backs, their ability to run channels or bring other people into play. "Our goals are spread across the team so high number aren't a concern for me, it is more about how they fit into the structure. "In terms of ability and profile, Ouzy and Cami are very similar and I'm looking forward to seeing how they go." Kennedy also revealed he will soon be adding further fresh faces to the ranks. He added: "There will be three or four more signings announced this week and maybe another couple the following week. Things are getting tied up over the next couple of days with agents and then we'll be sorted." Meanwhile, Kennedy has hailed coach Blair Munn after he opted to leave Kilby to pursue a new opportunity after two years at K-Park. He said: "I always tell people that two of the most important decisions you will make in your life are the environments you place yourself in and the people you surround yourself with. One of the best decisions I have made in life was inviting Blair on to my coaching staff, we have shared so many great moments together, built memories that will last a lifetime. "Blair is someone I have grown to admire, respect and love. I will miss him dearly, but I'm grateful for having him in my life, our friendship goes far beyond football, I will miss him not being at my side on the training ground and in the dugout. "EK's loss will now become someone else gain, I'm sure he will go on and be a great success in his new role. We wish him nothing but good fortune and success. Take care my friend."
