Olivia Attwood appeared to drop a telling hint that her and husband Bradley Dack’s split happened not as recently as it seems.
The former Love Island star, 34, announced their separation last weekend and has since unfollowed the footballer on Instagram and moved into her own flat in London.
Olivia broke her silence on their ‘divorce’ for the first time on Saturday and addressed the breakdown of their marriage.
However, in her emotional statement she appears to suggest her split is not recent after telling fans she’s been crying herself to sleep for a ‘long time’.
She wrote: ‘I keep opening instagram to post but I don’t know what to say or do? lol vulnerability is not my bag!!! Especially on social media, it feels very much like bleeding in shark infested waters..
‘I cry myself to sleep, then business as normal when the alarm goes off at 5am and it has been like that for a long time.

‘But also so much change in such a short amount of time (you know I hate that (Taurus)
‘I never expected to be moving into this apartment alone. And I’m in over my depth for sure. I want to be happy. I want Brad to be happy. Just one day at a time. For both of us. & anyone else who needs to read this.
‘Normal programming and chatting will resume asap. Ps thank you, I feel your love immensely.’
Olivia has been seen not wearing her wedding ring on multiple public sightings since the split, while Brad has firmly kept his on.
Reports claimed the their marriage ended after the footballer ‘crossed a line’ and ‘breached her trust’.
Olivia was not wearing her wedding ring for her appearance on Loose Women on Friday and has barely worn it since October.
She was again seen without the ring as she put on a brave face after her Loose Women appearance outside the studio.
Olivia looked downbeat as she was supported by her close colleague GK Barry, with the two stars seen chatting for 15 minutes after both appearing on the show.

Brad is said to be ‘furious’ that he has been portrayed as the bad guy in their split, with claims he and the ex-Love Island star are both to blame.
Friends of Bradley, 32, have dubbed Olivia’s break-up statement a ‘carefully orchestrated PR campaign’ to ensure she came out of the break-up with her reputation intact
Speaking to the Daily Mail, a close friend of Bradley’s said: ‘He’s angry and hurt that all the blame is being put on him. Olivia is making him out to be the bad guy but it’s not as simple as that.
‘He is being accused by her people in a carefully orchestrated PR campaign of crossing a line and breaching trust, but there has been bad behaviour from her during their time together too. It’s not all one-sided.
‘There have been a lot of problems going on in the marriage for quite some time and they’ve both got a part to play in that. If there has been a breach of trust, then that’s not just down to him.’
The friend added: ‘I’m not saying Bradley’s been perfect and I’m not going to go into details about his “breach of trust” – let’s just say it’s old behaviour.
‘But neither of them have been perfect and it’s not right to say that he’s the one completely in the wrong.’
Olivia has moved out of their central London apartment while Bradley, who plays for League Two side Gillingham has been spending more time with his parents in Kent.
Another friend added: ‘His family and close friends are supporting him, and all believe that his role in all this is being unfairly portrayed.
‘Olivia is a big name, she’s got a TV show and other people backing her. ‘Bradley has just got his family and pals. It’s not been easy for him but he’s doing all right given what’s going on.’
This week Olivia shared a very telling video of Angelina Jolie sharing her ‘one piece of advice for someone going through a hard time’.
The poignant clip saw the acclaimed actress urging: ‘Go right through it. Like right through it – feel it, be in it, don’t avoid it, go completely in it, feel everything and then go right through it and get out the other end.
‘Many of these things you don’t have a choice, you know? What’s that expression – it’s how well you walk through the fire. But you walk through it.’
Olivia broke her social media silence on Monday, as she gave fans the first glimpse of her empty flat, after hastily moving out of the home she shared with Bradley.
Posing for a selfie in front of her mirrored wardrobes, she wrote: ‘2026.. a new home in the city I was born in’.
In an accompanying video, an emotional Olivia sat in her empty living room with the caption: ‘That dream was planted in your heart for a reason.’

She had previously been based in Cheshire with footballer Bradley, but moved to a flat in the capital in the wake of rumours their marriage was on the rocks.
The couple first met in 2015, but after a heartbroken Olivia discovered Bradley had cheated during the early months of their romance, she decided to sign up for Love Island in 2017 – where she subsequently rose to fame.
After her fling with co-star Chris Hughes ended, she and Bradley reconciled and he proposed during a romantic Dubai getaway in 2019.
Olivia has become one of the hottest properties on ITV, landing prominent roles on Loose Women, This Morning as well as hosting her own shows Bad Boyfriends, Getting Filthy Rich and The Price Of Perfection.
Since starring on Love Island and a brief stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me out of Here!, she has landed a weekly spot on Kiss FM Radio with Pete Wicks and has launched her own podcast, Olivia’s House.
And just last year, Olivia revealed she received multiple offers from US bosses, making her plans to crack America possible.
Bradley’s work schedule is a stark contrast to Olivia as she continues to climb to the top of her industry.
The footballer, who first started dating Olivia over a decade ago, has failed to hit the heights on the pitch having struggled with injuries in recent years following spells at Blackburn Rovers and Sunderland.
