Olivia Attwood revealed she was the gym at 5am on her wedding day, as she opened up on the extreme pressures of ‘looking her best’ when she got married.

The TV personality, 33, appeared on Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing’s Newlyweds podcast on Monday, alongside her husband Bradley Dack.

In a very honest conversation, Olivia and Sophie admitted they ‘hated’ their wedding days and found their experiences ‘traumatising’. 

Olivia and footballer Bradley, 29, wed at luxury five-star H๏τel Bulgari in Knightsbridge in June 2023, while Sophie and Jamie tied the knot just one month before in May.

The former Made In Chelsea stars got married in front of their loved ones at Chelsea Registry Office, before saying ‘I do’ in a grand ceremony weeks later.

Looking back on their big days, Brad asked his wife Olivia: ‘You didn’t really enjoy the wedding, did you?’

Laughing, she reponsed ‘Funny enough, no. I found it traumatising,’ with Sophie jumping in to quip: ‘Wait, what? I did too, I hated every second of it.’

‘I felt like I was literally, like my lungs were closing in on me every day,’ agreed Olivia.

Sophie replied:  ‘Me too, I was gasping, I was like paddling. If one more person goes: “How’s wedding planning going?” I’ll slap you.

‘I don’t love all eyes on me and I also really hate something being my idenтιтy. Like I hated just being the bride. That was a lot for me’.

Olivia quickly agreed: ‘I resisted that, yeah. You just feel suffocated, don’t you?’

Despite the bride’s shock reactions, Jamie and Bradley admitted they loved and enjoyed their wedding days.

While Olivia argued that it’s ‘different for the bride,’ Sophie also opened up on the pressures of looking your best.

She admitted: ‘You’re supposed to look the best you’ve ever f****** looked. That sent me under.’

Then, Olivia sheepishly revealed: ‘This is so sad. I was in the Bulgari H๏τel gym at 5am on my wedding day, trying to get a glute pump. That’s what being a bride is.’

Sophie added: ‘Having to walk down the aisle on like ten coffees cause you’re so tired cause you’ve just pumped your a*** up.

And Olivia laughed: ‘Shaking like a s******* dog. I could hear my ribs cracking. Having to eat a pureed dinner cause I can’t even… it’s hell, it’s horrible.’

Olivia and Bradley’s wedding was the first ever to be held at the Bulgari H๏τel, which had been adorned with 10,000 roses and over 25,000 individual flowers by Red Floral Architecture, creating the most romantic setting for the couple to meet at the end of the aisle. 

Surrounded by 80 friends and family and with her proud father, Kai, by her side, Olivia looked exquisite in a bespoke £30,000 lace-sleeved gown by designer Galia Lahav, which was just one of two stunning outfits she wore on the day. 

As Olivia walked down the aisle on her dad’s arm, with her mum Jen watching ahead, Bradley couldn’t hide his emotion seeing his bride for the first time. 

Bradley, who was joined by his emotional mum, dad, and sister, looked impeccably smart in a bespoke Charles Campbell suit as he finally wed the woman of his dreams after proposing to Olivia back in 2019.

Their wedding, which had been overseen by celebrity wedding planner Julie Perry, was three years in the making after the couple postponed their ceremony several times due to the global pandemic.

Their big day was also captured for her four-part TV series Olivia Marries Her Match, which followed on from 2020’s Olivia Meets Her Match. 

Sophie and Jamie tied the knot just one month before in May

Speaking on her podcast So Wrong It’s Right podcast in April last year, Olivia addressed a meme that had begun circulating online featuring a snippet of herself from the series.

She told her friend Ryan Kay: ‘I feel like I should have royalties and have something to do with this. I mean? You see it everywhere.’

Olivia joked: ‘I’m like, I should have a percentage of this cut. I don’t even have anything!’

‘It would interest people that I didn’t make a penny off that series, not one! Not one P because I ended up spending so much trying to keep everyone happy,’ she added.

Olivia confirmed she spent an eye-watering £200,000 on her very lavish wedding.

She told The Sun: ‘The figure [£200,000] was out there and it’s spot on.

‘It’s hard because I don’t mind talking about that kind of stuff but I always try to be mindful and respectful, you don’t want to sound out of touch, it’s six figure, it makes me feel a bit sick.’

However, Olivia said she doesn’t regret anything about the day despite the lavish price tag, but confessed they spent more than they originally planned.

She went on: ‘There is nothing I regret, the band was incredible, the food was great, you have a budget in mind but as the weeks get nearer and nearer, you say yes yes yes to everything and before you know it you are over budget, so I think over all it got away from us a little bit.’
