Olivia Attwood shares truth about ‘romantic’ superyacht date with Chris Hughes & ‘gross’ act she does with Bradley Dack
OLIVIA Attwood has revealed the truth about her “romantic” superyacht date with Chris Hughes ahead of the Love Island final.
The reality TV star, who recently celebrated her 34th birthday with a star-studded bash at a posh London restaurant, claims she and Chris Hughes, 32, were “raging” at each other off-camera.
The podcast host, who tied the knot with Bradley Dack, 31, in a £30,000 wedding dress in June 2023, also shared the “gross” act she and her footballer beau do on holiday.
On the most recent podcast episode of Olivia Attwood’s So Wrong It’s Right, the Loose Women presenter spilled the tea on her “worst” date ever – and it appears it really wasn’t what it seemed on our TV screens.
In the unfiltered solo special, the blonde beauty reflected back to her time on the ITV dating show in 2017.
She was coupled up with Chris Hughes, who recently hit headlines for his ‘friendship’ with ‘soulmate’ JoJo Siwa after the pair got ‘flirty’ in bed on Celebrity Big Brother just last month.
During an Ask Me Anything, Olivia said: “I’ve not done a whole lot of dating but I will say a date that is kind of iconic.
“My worst date was Chris Hughes and I on a boat in Love Island.
“It was what they called our ‘master date’, so that epic date if you make it to the final.
“We had a superyacht, we’re days from the final, it’s meant to be on the front of the yacht, you’re talking about the future – are you going to live together? Are you going to have babies together?
“Which is f*****g insane when you think about it because you’ve known each other for eight weeks.
“And we just could not stop arguing. We rowed in the car on the way there, we rowed when we were getting mic’ed up.
“Then we had to sit there and kind of pretend that we didn’t dislike each other. It was awful.”
Despite this, Olivia explained: “I had a great time because I was on the boat and we got more alcohol that day than I’d had the whole time being on Love Island.

“So I was just living my best life drinking my Prosecco, and Chris was just raging at me.
“What it was meant to be and what it was, was very different.”
Olivia and Brad’s ‘gross’ act
During the same episode, Olivia also shared the “gross” act she and her hubby often do when they travel.
As well as sharing towels, the Labubu lover claimed she and Brad also use the same toothbrush.
She confessed: “Using the same towel as your partner? So wrong it’s right.”

She then added: “It’s technically unhygienic, Brad’s got a hairy a**, he might’ve wiped his a** and now I’m wiping my face with it, but I think it’s weird to be weird about that stuff.”
Unashamed to admit, Olivia also explained: “We share toothbrushes and stuff when we go on holiday.
“We’re pretty gross.”
Who is Olivia Attwood?

Reflecting on her time pre-marriage, Olivia admitted she had a habit of jumping from one relationship to the next. She said: “I have not done a lot of dating.
“It’s worked out fine for me because my husband’s great, but I was a serial dater in the sense that I used to go from boyfriend to boyfriend.
