Olivia Attwood has been seen for the first time since her boyfriend Pete Wicks set the internet ablaze by making their romance Instagram official.
After weeks of hints and speculation, the former TOWIE star, 37, hard-launched their relationship with a loved-up Instagram post on Thursday featuring snaps from their PDA-filled trip to Ibiza.
It will come as no surprise that Olivia, 35, was grinning from ear-to-ear as she arrived at the launch party for her new collection with Tatti Lashes.
The Love Island star set pulses racing in a lingerie-flashing pink sheer dress as she headed into the event in London.
Olivia has joked that she and Pete were the ‘worst kept secret’ after they were caught kissing and cuddling on several occasions, following her split from her ‘husband’ Bradley Dack at the start of the year.
And just hours later, Pete posted loved-up pictures of them all over each other on a trip to Ibiza, marking the first time he has ever publicly shared a relationship online.

Smitten Pete’s declaration came following a nudge from Olivia, who had declared hours earlier that she ‘wouldn’t post first’, while she was working out what the relationship was as she was ‘protecting herself’ in the early stages of their romance.
Before the post earlier this month, Pete couldn’t keep his hands off Olivia when she was sporting a pair of tight Roberto Cavalli leather trousers as they put on a PDA-packed display during dinner at Cala Gracioneta in Ibiza.
Around the same time he also sent Olivia 100 red roses to her hotel room when she was battling a hangover after a boozy few days on the island with her friend.
All this culminated in Olivia’s recent statement on her podcast, Olivia’s House, where she heavily hinted that Pete should be the one to post her on his Instagram.
Olivia declared she wouldn’t be posting him first, and hours later Pete took the bold step, proudly sharing pictures o themf together on his Instagram page on Thursday.
It came just hours after Olivia declared she ‘has a person’ but wouldn’t be making the first move and posting them first on her social media page.
Olivia gushed over her new romance and said once she starts to talk about it publicly ‘she won’t be able to stop’.
In the clip, she said: ‘The other day I got 100 red roses sent to my door and they were banging the door and it was housekeeping. I was going “not today”, they kept banging and Mark was in bed and I was telling him to get up and he told me to get up.
‘And I opened the door and then felt bad because there was this huge bouquet of red roses and I turned round and went “look what I got”, and the first thing Mark said was “what makes you think they’re for you!”.

‘I do have a person. It’s the worst kept secret. But also I’m keeping it very close to my chest at the moment while I know what it is. Just in the way that I don’t send the first good morning text. I’m not f***ing hard launching anyone first.
‘So I’ll just be sitting here. I’ve got roses coming, I’ve got people grabbing my arse on beaches, but I don’t know, make what you want of it.
‘I understand the interest, Olivia’s House will be the place where I talk about things, when I feel like I know how to put them into words. I’m trying to protect myself a little bit, I’m in a better place. I was in a better place a few days ago when I was in Ibiza.
‘Once I’m talking about it I won’t be able to stop, so just enjoy the peace and quiet.’
Someone in the background quips: ‘Let’s hope he stays relevant’, referencing the name of Pete’s podcast with his pal Sam Thompson.
Appreciating the play on words, Olivia said: ‘Ha! Nice!’
Proving he is taking their relationship seriously after Olivia’s heavy handed hint, Pete went Instagram official with their romance.
Seemingly confirming their official boyfriend-girlfriend status, the former TOWIE star shared an array of loved-up snaps from their holiday.
Sending fans wild, Pete confirmed the hard launch as he captioned the post: ‘I guess someone has to go first…IBIZA’.
Pete’s best friend Sam Thompson was quick to comment as he replied: ‘Never thought I’d see the day YOU hard launch!! couldn’t be happier for you brother’.
Olivia and Pete began dating back in February after she split from her husband and last week they were seen cosying up together during their Ibiza holiday.
Rumours of Olivia and Pete’s romance began last summer after intimate pictures of the pair on a boat that were captured.
The pair went on a trip with KISS and were seen putting on a flirty and cosy display on a yacht.
It caused uproar at the time as Olivia was still married to Bradley – who she split from months later, in January this year.
Addressing the snaps on Olivia’s House, a Platform Media original show, Olivia said: ‘Okay, let’s talk to my listeners about the yacht pictures with Pete.
‘Because there is a funny story here. Just as a subtext, okay I was obviously leaning back on [Pete] on the yacht, but nothing happened.’
Pete spoke about their romance for the first time the week before, after the couple enjoyed a holiday together in St Tropez.
The couple were spotted sharing steamy kisses by the pool at the celeb-favourite haunt Nikki Beach club this month.
