Olivia Attwood shaken by attempted break-in at home while she is on holiday
Love Island star Olivia Attwood has revealed there has been an attempted break-in at her home while she is on holiday in Spain as she fumed at what the burglars were looking for Olivia Attwood has been rocked by an attempted break-in at her home while she is on holiday. The former Love Island star, 34, is currently on a lavish trip to Spain as she soaks up the summer sun. She has been sharing snaps of her stunning break away, however Olivia shared a shocking update in the middle of the night. Taking to her Instagram, Olivia quipped: "That's why we pay through the nose for private security." The TV star added: "On site in 2 minutes with dog team and the incredible nw police force not far behind. We saw your face, we have your foot prints and finger prints. And sorry what you were looking for isn't actually kept at the property." Olivia lives with her footballer husband Bradley Dack in a stunning £1million home they share with their dogs Lola and Stitch. The couple moved into the plush pad in Cheshire in October 2022, and ever since it has been a working project. Olivia shot to fame in 2017 when she was a contestant on Love Island in which she coupled up 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. 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 in 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 and home since 2020 in the reality docu-series Olivia Meets Her Match which shows how the couple are getting on in their relationship. Olivia is also expanding in her career, having landed a slot on This Morning over the summer. She is already a regular on the Loose Women panel since 2023 but now Olivia is taking the plunge and moving on to her next venture. In a recent interview with Closer magazine, Olivia spilled her excitement, saying how she couldn't wait to present the show with Alison Hammond. Speaking about her new role, she told the publication: "Everyone's been so welcoming. The whole team's been lovely, and I'm just excited to get stuck in and learn from people I really admire." When touching on who she'd love to present with the most, Olivia said: "If I ever get to host with Alison, I'm so sure we'd just laugh for two hours straight. Probably three."

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.
