AS far as hangovers go, Olivia Attwood’s comedown from last week’s Ibiza trip must be a doozy.
Four days after jetting home from the party isle, the clouds of consequence still loom large with the swirling rumours about her and Pete Wicks courtesy of THAT cosy-looking yacht photo.
But I know how Bradley Dack really feels about the snap and that’s why I’m confident that this storm will pass.
The picture showed Olivia and Pete snuggled up on a boat after they’d wrapped their work shoot for Kiss FM.
He was annoyed she was being so reckless.

Sources said that Liv’s man Bradley was furious when the offending image was published on Friday and that she was “in the doghouse” – but not for the reason you might think.
Pals close to Olivia have told me he well knows that she’s a tactile person who is hands-on with all her mates and isn’t suspicious of her and Pete.
But what he was bothered about was how hard she partied on that trip.
The friend said: “Olivia has always loved a wild night out and unapologetically so, but one day at the weekend is a different story to consecutive days and nights of drinking.
“Brad was really happy she got a blow out because she works so hard, but it just tipped the balance into her going too hard and he was just really worried.
“That’s what is at the heart of this, he was annoyed she was being so reckless.
“The other thing as part of that is she was barely in touch and so his worrying wasn’t abated at any point.
“Saying he’s p*ssed off cos of her cuddling Pete just feels a bit much when it was really just that he was a concerned husband.”
As far as Olivia is concerned, it’s business as usual because she knows she’s not done anything wrong.
That’s why she continues to – some would say, defiantly – post pictures from the Ibiza break online.
I’ve met Liv many times over the years and she’s a rare breed of ‘new’ celebrity that just gets it.
Whilst other reality stars invoice us for using their Instagram images in articles (to promote their latest ventures… make it make sense), Liv has always understood that if she supports us, we will support her.
So she’s hard-working, polite, fun and interesting.
That’s why she’s the only Islander to ever really make it into the mainstream and nabbing that presenting spot on This Morning meant the world to her.
Granted, I’m no close personal friend of the girl, but based on everything I know, there is no chance she’d risk all that for a grope on a boat.
My mum always says drinks in, wits out, so yes maybe Olivia might need to accept the fact she’s now too famous to let loose in public.
But I’d bet her National Television Award that at the heart of this is a bottle of vodka – not a cheating scandal.
