Olivia Attwood denies leaving UK after wedding found to not be legal

Reality TV star Olivia Attwood has denied she was leaving the UK following a revelation that her marriage to footballer Bradley Dack was not legally binding.

Despite sharing a series of videos from Heathrow airport, the 34-year-old said it was for a new TV production, sharing a clip showing she was with a film crew and captioning it: “Very sweet of you to assume I’m going on holiday haha, never.”

It comes after it was revealed that the Bvlgari Hotel in London, where former Love Island contestant Attwood and Gillingham midfielder Dack had their wedding in 2023, did not have a marriage licence at the time of the ceremony.

It is understood that their wedding planner attempted to get one for the venue, but was unable to secure one in time.

An appointment was booked to complete paperwork at a registry office in Cheshire six weeks later, however, this was subsequently cancelled after Attwood allegedly discovered a “number of mistruths”, a source told the Press Association.

A representative for Dack has been contacted for comment.

The pair reportedly split up earlier this year.

Attwood’s relationship with Dack and subsequent wedding were covered across three ITV series, Olivia Meets Her Match and Olivia Marries Her Match, which followed the preparations for their big day and the ceremony itself.

It is understood that ITV is not investigating the circumstances surrounding the wedding.

Along with her appearance on Love Island, Attwood is also known for her appearance in reality TV series The Only Way Is Essex, and presenting documentaries such as Olivia Attwood Vs The Trolls, Olivia Attwood: The Price Of Perfection and Olivia Attwood’s Bad Boyfriends.

Representatives for ITV have been contacted for comment.
