Olivia Attwood has slammed reports that Pete Wicks is a cheater as she clarifies a joke she made at the BRIT Awards.
The 33-year-old TV host made the sly comment in an interview with MailOnline, after rumours began to circulate that Pete was a “cheater.”
Speaking about Sam Thompson, Pete told the MailOnline: “It’s hard for Sam tonight because I’ve got a new work wife. But, he’s not far away, he’s over there actually.”

He added: ‘It is a little bit weird because it feels like I am…”
Olivia chimed in with: “Cheating?” before she added: “For the first time, to add.”
“Because… I have never done that,” Pete said.

On her Instagram Story, Olivia has since emphasised that they were joking about the allegations because they are false and she “doesn’t find cheating funny.”
Olivia wrote: “Cheatings not funny. Pete didn’t cheat. That is the joke. Hope that helps.”
She added: “Well I appreciate that you could read between the lines – I had to comment because A LOT of people couldn’t – because that’s not something I would find funny at all.”
Olivia continued: “And I’m just going to caveat that with with I’m very protective of my friends but I don’t hate / have feuds / at war with anyone.”
“You guys have seen my work schedule – I don’t have time to eat most days.”
She continued: “When I get up in my feelings I probably shouldn’t do coded Instagram Stories because then things get misconstrued. I’ll just say it with my chest in future if I’m upset.”
Last month, Pete’s former flame Maura took a brutal swipe at her ex following their shock split, suggesting he had cheated.
The former Love Island star broke her silence on the split for the first time, leaving London hotspot Sheesh.
In a video obtained by The Sun, the Irish beauty was asked where the Towie star was to which she replied: “Dunno, probably cheating.”
A source told MailOnline at the time about the couple’s split, saying: “Maura and Pete have decided to call off their romance.”
“There have been a few clashes and it was eventually agreed they were better off as friends.”
“Those closest to them know it’s been a very on and off relationship, which is why they were so resistant to go public in the first place and they remain close and share a deep connection.”
A friend added: “You never know with Maura and Pete, the attraction is so strong that you wouldn’t rule out reunion at some point – even in the short term.”
