Olivia Attwood took a swipe at her ex-boyfriend Chris Hughes as she lifted the lid on what their relationship was really like on Thursday.

The TV host, 33, found fame on the 2017 series of the show where she reached the final with Chris, 32, who she split from the following year.

She has since got married to footballer Bradley Dack, with the couple tying the knot in a lavish ceremony at the five-star H๏τel Bulgari in Knightsbridge in June 2023. 

However, in a candid chat with MAFS star Ella Morgan on Olivia’s So Wrong It’s Right Podcast, she revealed details of her relationship with Chris.

While Ella was talking about her recent split from Alex James Ali and how she portrayed her relationship as perfect on social media when it wasn’t, Olivia admitted she and Chris had been guilty of doing the same. 

She revealed: ‘Most couples that I know who aren’t that happy have the most on point social media.

‘It’s almost, the more you post how happy you are, often the case is behind closed doors that it’s the opposite.

‘It’s sad reality of the world we live in. And there’s an added pressure when you come off a TV show.’

Olivia admitted: ‘Chris and I did that. He would put up a selfie of me and him with like hearts underneath and I’d be thinking, this p***k hasn’t answered the phone to me for four days.

‘I was guilty of it too. We both did it. We felt we had to maintain it. When we split in an explosive way, people said, ‘You are amazing together!’ I was like, we’re not. We are horrible together.’

It comes just after Olivia revealed she doesn’t think she and her husband Bradley  would be together now if she hadn’t gone on Love Island.

Olivia and Brad were in a relationship prior to Love Island but they broke up so she accepted the producers offer to enter the villa.

Speaking on the How To Fail podcast with Elizabeth Day, she said: ‘If I hadn’t gone on Love Island, I don’t think we would be together. We had to pull away for us to both get perspective.

‘Brad is the first male, dating relationship I’ve had where he has his own thing, his own job, his own goals and I have mine and he wants me to have them.’

In 2021, Olivia revealed her relationship with ex Chris  was so ‘all consuming’ and ‘toxic’ that it pushed her back into the arms of Bradley.

In an exclusive chat with MailOnline, the former Love Island star said that her and Chris – who found love on series three of the ITV show – ‘argued constantly’.

Speaking ahead of the second series of Olivia Meet Her Match, blonde beauty Olivia said that they were ‘incompatible as a couple’ and that ‘it wasn’t meant to be.’

She said: ‘Me and Brad were just lying in bed the other day and we thought how mad our journey has been. Obviously we had the breakup and everything was up in the air.

‘I thought when I was in Love Island that was it. I was so done with him but then I ended up in another relationship that ended up being so toxic and all-consuming. 

‘And sometimes that’s what happens and it pushes you back to your ex. After that we needed a good year to find our footing as a couple again. I still wasn’t sure.

‘It was toxic with Chris and we argued a lot. I never had that problem with Brad, we never argued.’

She continued: ‘I was just incompatible with Chris. You meet on this show and things are very different in the real world. You think ‘oh s**t do we actually have stuff in common?’ It wasn’t meant to be.’
