The TV personality, 34, confirmed she had split from Bradley in an emotional statement this month, with reports claiming their marriage ended after the footballer ‘crossed a line’ and ‘breached her trust’.
Newly-single Olivia, 34, explained she has been overthinking what she posts on social media as she addressed her absence with fans.
She wrote: ‘Hi dolls – I have been so overthinking posting?? So I’m ripping the bandaid off. Lol I feel like someone has reached into my body and stolen my personality (thank god I have more than one)
‘I’m pouring every inch of what I have into work but I don’t want you guys to think I have forgotten you. I see your messages and I love you xxxx’
Having poured her heart and soul into her work over the last few months, Olivia is set to host ITVX’s latest cooking competition, The Heat.

It comes after Olivia said she ‘hates’ Valentine’s Day and ‘wants to be left alone’ this year.
Speaking on The Sunday Roast Podcast with her co-host Pete Wicks, the duo discussed their worst Valentine’s Day moments and their plans for the weekend.
She began: ‘I hate Valentine’s Day and it’s not just because of recent events. I’ve never liked it. I always say just get me a present.’
Pete added: ‘All the posts on social media just make you hate it even more.’
Olivia exclaimed: ‘Oh! I forgot about social media, here come all the unhappy people you know.’
The TV personality continued: ‘I just want flowers and a gift and to be left alone. That’s my perfect Valentine’s Day.’
Addressing the breakdown of her marriage, Olivia said: ‘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.’
She continued: ‘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 not been wearing her wedding ring, which has been the case on multiple public sightings of her since her split, while Brad has firmly kept his on.
When the couple first met at a nightclub in 2015, Olivia was working as a grid girl while Bradley’s football career was off to a promising start, having been named Young Player of the Season at his club Gillingham FC.
While the couple split after three months, they rekindled in 2017. Yet since they’ve been together, Olivia’s star power has continued to rise, while Bradley’s career has somewhat stagnated.
Now Olivia boasts an estimated £6million net worth while Bradley’s is a million less, with friends telling the Daily Mail that this could have contributed to their split.
‘In the beginning of their relationship he was obviously the big earner as a footballer, and she now firmly stands on her own two feet,’ the source shared.
‘She doesn’t need him at all anymore, she can be totally independent.’
Addressing her marriage breakdown last month, Olivia emotionally said she has been ‘crying herself to sleep’ in recent weeks
At his peak, Bradley was said to be earning £18,000-a-week playing for Blackburn, but after returning to Gillingham FC last year he’s now on £3,500-a-week, Salary Sport reports.
Meanwhile, Olivia is said to have earned £350,000 for each of her series with ITV, which includes Getting Filthy Rich, The Price Of Perfection and Bad Boyfriends.
She also has a £250,000 collaboration with Abbott Lyon jewellery and a six-figure deal with make-up brand Maybelline.
Just last year, Olivia spoke of the importance of being financially independent, saying in September: ‘I think it’s really important to keep your own finances and your own bank account.
‘I don’t think you need to combine finances with your partner at all. I think it’s a really outdated way of thinking.’
