Olivia Attwood shares a passionate kiss with boyfriend Pete Wicks in new loved-up snaps from her River Island collection launch party after he opened up about their 'unexpected' romance

Olivia Attwood shared a passionate kiss with her boyfriend, Pete Wicks, in loved-up snaps from her new River Island collection launch party.

The presenter, 35, celebrated her latest collection with the designer at a glitzy event at the MAINE in Mayfair.

Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Olivia posted a slew of fun-filled snaps from the event.

In one snap, the star looked smitten as she and Pete shared a racy kiss on the kitchen island.

The pair also posed for a series of sweet photos at the event, where Olivia stunned in a satin red minidress.

'I have so much fun being me I will tell you that xxxxx @riverisland round 4,' she penned alongside the post. 

Last week, Olivia opened up about her relationship with Pete as she made her return to the Loose Women panel for the first time in three months. 

Discussing friendship being the foundation of a romance, Olivia explained: 'I think that me and Pete were friends for years. Everyone knows, and we crossed over on various projects. 

'I wouldn't say we were like particularly close, you know, people say, "Was it weird going from friends to more than?" We weren't like besties who rang each other every day, so it never had that awkward crossover, but we definitely always clicked. 

'We have the same sense of humour. We got on really well, and I think him more than any of the partners I've had before. 

'We have this friendship like we can talk for hours, and I think I had underestimated that part of the relationship. Maybe I always thought like "what am I ever going to have in common with a straight man?"

'And then with Pete it's like we are friends and we love each other's company. We laugh, I have as much fun with him as any of my friends, and if he's joining one of my nights out or vice versa, I don't feel like I have to change at all.'

She added: 'I think I've softened him a little bit.'

Last week, Olivia gave fans an insight into their love life as they packed on the PDA in a racy backseat shot from their car as they were caught mid-smooch. 

As Olivia lay across Pete's lap she captioned the snap: 'P & I doing too much.' 

She also shared a sweet clip of Pete wrapping his arms around her as they took a night off from their busy work schedules to enjoy some karaoke. 

She joked: 'P & I singing karaoke in matching white vests (not planned) and me taking his lines ofc (I perform best as a solo artist much like Beyoncé).'

Olivia also posted an array of glam snaps from her busy work week as she posed with her Savano drink cans on the shelves of Selfridges. 

Hinting at another designer purchase, the star also shared a snap from a private Hermes shopping room as she held up the brown leather bag. 

She joked: 'We love a private @hermes shopping room (my Amex does not).'

The post comes after she revealed she has splashed out £2,500 on Gucci heels during a New York shopping spree on Friday.

She justified her lavish designer purchase on Instagram as she insisted they are an 'investment'.

Olivia has added a stylish pair of £1,640 Gucci boots and £840 slingback pumps to her autumn-winter wardrobe.

She said: 'They're the most elegant, classy, timeless shoe. It's what we call girl math, it's an investment but it's not an investment because I'll never see a penny of this back but I will wear it a lot.'

'These boots screamed 90s me, I think this is like a revival of a shoe that is around like of early 2000s, like very Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie sort of vibes with the Gucci all of it,' she added.

'If you told me a year ago I was going to buy a shoe with Gucci logo all over, I would have laughed in your face, but here I am and I think they are kind of c***.'
