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.

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.

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.

Rolling Stones members pay tribute following death of Beach Boys' Brian Wilson

Wilson was the eldest and last surviving of the three musical brothers who formed the American rock band in 1961, alongside their cousin Mike Love and school friend Al Jardine. Wood, 78, who has played guitar in the Rolling Stones and rock band Faces, said his world was 'in mourning' amid a week which has also seen the death of US musician Sly Stone. A post shared by Ronnie Wood (@ronniewood) On Wednesday, Wilson's family said in a statement to his website: 'We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away. We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving.' The statement finished 'Love & Mercy', a reference to one of Wilson's songs as well as a film about him starring John Cusack. Wood said in a social media post: 'Oh no Brian Wilson and Sly Stone in one week – my world is in mourning, so sad.' His message was punctuated with praying hands and heart emojis, and featured pictures of Wilson and American funk singer Stone, real name Sylvester Stewart, who died on Monday, also aged 82. A post shared by Keith Richards (@officialkeef) Richards posted an extract of his 2010 memoir, Life, about Wilson on Instagram with the caption 'Rest in Peace!'. In the excerpt, Richards, 81, recalls hearing The Beach Boys for the first time on the radio, and his reaction to their 1966 album Pet Sounds. The extract reads: 'When we first got to American and to LA, there was a lot of Beach Boys on the radio, which was pretty funny to us – it was before Pet Sounds – it was hot rod songs and surfing songs, pretty lousily played, familiar Chuck Berry licks going on… 'It was later on, listening to Pet Sounds, well, it's a little bit overproduced for me, but Brian Wilson had something.' We are heartbroken to announced that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away. We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world. Love & Mercy — Brian Wilson (@BrianWilsonLive) June 11, 2025 Cusack, 58, who played Wilson in a 2014 biopic, said in a post: 'The maestro has passed — the man was a open heart with two legs — with an ear that heard the angels. Quite literally. Love and Mercy for you and yours tonight. RIP Brian.' Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood added: 'Anyone with a musical bone in their body must be grateful for Brian Wilson's genius magical touch!! 'And greatly saddened of this major worldly loss!! My thoughts go out to his family and friends.' Sean Ono Lennon, the son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, also paid tribute in a heartfelt post to X where he described Wilson as 'our American Mozart'. Wilson's band, known for their vocal harmonies, signed with Capitol Records in 1962 and released their first album, Surfin' Safari, that same year. Wilson was born on June 20 1942, and began to play the piano and teach his brothers to sing harmony as a young boy. The Beach Boys started as a neighbourhood act, rehearsing in Wilson's bedroom and in the garage of their house in suburban Hawthorne, California. In the group Wilson played bass while his brother Dennis was the drummer and Carl played lead guitar. Their debut single, Surfin', became a minor hit upon its release in 1961, but was nothing compared with the success that followed from their second studio album, Surfin' USA, released in 1963. The band were managed by the trio's father, Murry Wilson, but by mid-decade he had been displaced and Brian, who had been running the band's recording sessions almost from the start, was in charge. They released their most recognised album, Pet Sounds, in May 1966 which included the popular songs Wouldn't It Be Nice and God Only Knows. Other studio albums including The Beach Boys Today! and Summer Days (Summer Nights!!), both released in 1965, also performed well in the charts. In the later half of the 1960s and into the 1970s they had success upon releasing greatest hits albums including 20 Golden Greats, which peaked at number one in the UK albums chart in 1976. Wilson married singer Marilyn Rovell in 1964 and the couple welcomed daughters Carnie and Wendy, whom he became estranged from following their divorce. He later reconciled with them and they sang together on the 1997 album The Wilsons, which was also the name of a music group formed by Carnie and Wendy following the break-up of pop vocal group Wilson Phillips. Wilson, who had dealt with mental health and drug problems, got his life back on track in the 1990s and married talent manager Melinda Ledbetter. When Ledbetter died last year, Wilson said their five children, Daria, Delanie, Dylan, Dash and Dakota, were 'in tears'. 'She (Ledbetter) was my saviour. She gave me the emotional security I needed to have a career. She encouraged me to make the music that was closest to my heart. She was my anchor,' he said in a statement. Wilson was also embroiled in multiple lawsuits some of which followed from the release of his 1991 autobiography, Wouldn't It Be Nice: My Own Story. The Beach Boys were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award in 2001. Their biggest hits included California Girls, Surfin' USA and Good Vibrations, the latter of which topped the UK's singles chart. In 2012, following the 50th anniversary of the Beach Boys being founded, Wilson took to the road with Love, Jardine and others for a tour. Wilson's brother Dennis died in 1983 while Carl died in 1998.

Love Island fans beg bosses to axe islander after ‘cruel' comment to one girl

LOVE Island fans have begged bosses to axe Ben Holbrough after his cruel comment to Toni Laites on tonight's show. ITV2 viewers were left open-mouthed when Ben told some of his fellow Islanders that US Toni had given him the "ick". 4 Love Island fans have begged bosses to axe Ben after tonight's show Credit: Eroteme 4 The taxi driver stormed off during a clash with US Islander Toni Credit: Eroteme 4 Ben cruelly dumped Toni after he admitted she gave him the 'ick' Credit: Eroteme It came after he snapped at her when she told him to "not make it all about himself". He then told Shakira in the kitchen that Toni had given him the "ick" and that there was no spark between them. After Shakira told Toni what Ben had said, the Connecticut based beauty pulled Ben aside for a chat, where he brutally ended their romantic connection. But those watching at home were gobsmacked at his brutal approach and have begged for him to be axed next. One wrote: "Ben is a loser, get him off Love Island." A second posted: "Ben is unnecessarily cruel, it's giving negging & all the red flags." A third said: "I feel so bad for Toni, Ben is VILE." "I wish I could vote Ben off right now," a fourth commented. The fallout came after Ben admitted she gave him the 'ick' after her reaction to Sophie Lee being sent home. Shock moment Love Island cast realise two islanders who AREN'T coupled up have secretly gone to the Hideaway after VERY awkward lapdance As the Islanders are still reeling about Shakira Khan choosing Harry Cooksley, Toni said: 'Boys, it's your turn, just saying - I don't think you're gonna be safe.' Ben replied: 'Are you saying me in particular?' Toni added: 'No it's about boys, not everything is about you.' Her comments didn't go down well with Ben and he walked off - leaving the others surprised by his reaction. Meg later told him: 'That was a bit much…I don't get what she said that was really offensive?' Ben replied: 'She said, 'Not everything is about you…' I just got the ick.' Ben then told Shakira he'd got the ick with Toni and Shakira lets Toni know about this and suggests she pulls him for a chat. Toni does exactly that and asks Ben: 'I've heard from people you said I'm giving you the ick?' It quickly turned sour and he told her: 'I don't feel like me and you have got that spark if I am being honest.' Looking taken aback she replied 'okay' as he continued: 'That is just me being honest but I know when I have got it with someone. That I feel it straight away. But yeah I don't feel like you and me have got it.' Toni told him: 'I mean I don't think that technique is going to work for you here.' He asked what she means and she replied: 'Right away off the bat.' Smirking, he responded: 'You'd be surprised. I feel like sparks have already been made.' A very unhappy Toni hits back: 'Good luck pal.' Ben asked Shakira to join him in the Hideaway for a chat, where he admitted he fancied her.
