Olivia Attwood shares heartbreaking post about 'needing to stay busy to be okay' after spending Valentine's Day alone following her split from husband Bradley Dack

Olivia Attwood has shared a poignant post about 'needing to stay busy to be okay', after spending Valentine's Day alone following her split from husband Bradley Dack.

The presenter, 34, confirmed she had separated from the footballer, 32, in an emotional statement this month, with reports claiming their three-year marriage ended after he 'crossed a line' and 'breached her trust'.

With Saturday making her first Valentine's Day single in two decades, she kept herself distracted last week by going on a shopping spree, attending the BAFTA Rising Star bash, covering FAULT magazine and celebrating her new brand deal with Garnier.

Taking to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, Olivia shared the heartbreaking reason for why she's kept her social and work calendars so jam-packed.

She reshared a touching social media video that read: 'Forever the girl who needs to stay busy to be okay'.

The day before, she revealed how she spent her Saturday, writing: 'Happy Valentine's Day my cherubs I love you all so much x. My first Valentines without a boyfriend since I was like 14 years old lol so I took myself shopping obvs.'

The host of ITV's new show The Heat is said to have been 'pouring every inch' of her energy into work since news of her split from Bradley emerged in January - just two years after the couple tied the knot.

Olivia has spoken candidly about how the start of the year has been incredibly difficult as she navigates the breakdown of her relationship while maintaining a demanding work schedule.

Alongside her Olivia's House podcast and KISS FM radio show, which she co-hosts with Pete Wicks, she has continued filming the next instalment of her documentary series Getting Filthy Rich and is now celebrating her latest collaboration with Garnier.

She put her marriage woes aside on Thursday night as she was unveiled as the new face of the skincare brand at a bash at The Newman Hotel, and was spotted leaving with Pete, 37, and a group of pals in the early hours of Friday morning.

Last week, the newly single star explained how she 'working out a lot' and 'filming a lot' to keep herself distracted. 

Teasing her new ITV show The Heat, she posted on Instagram: 'What I told you about work being busy lol... brand new tele. I promise you don't want to miss this...'.

The show will see her tracking ten young chefs as they work under multi Michelin Star chef Jean-Christophe Novelli.

The Loose Woman had been open with her fanbase over the past year about the struggles she faced in her marriage while juggling her career.

She admitted the couple had endured a 'challenging' six months when asked about their relationship in September, shortly after she was pictured looking close to Pete on a boat in Ibiza.

Olivia explained that as her career continued to soar, with recommissions of all her TV shows including Getting Filthy Rich, it took priority in her relationship, and she and Bradley were constantly trying to navigate their busy schedules.

She told the Daily Mail: 'Me and Brad never pretend to have a perfect relationship, we have been up, down, left, backwards, and the last six months have been really challenging for us.

'My work and his work take precedence over everything, we have to navigate our relationship all the time.

'It's the boring side of being an adult in a long term relationship, we constantly have to work at it and that's just the truth. No one else really wants to say that part out loud but it is difficult at times.

'It's great to post a picture on Instagram but we're transparent people and it's not always like that, there are ups and downs, there are things on his side which haven't been great, there's a mix of things. 

'I have messed up and done stuff, Brad has messed up. It's really easy to pretend you're perfect but no one is if you just dig a little deeper.'

Reports have now claimed that Olivia and Bradley's marriage ended after the footballer 'crossed a line' and 'breached her trust'.

Addressing the breakdown of her marriage, Olivia recently said: 'I keep opening Instagram to post but I don't know what to say or do? lol vulnerability is not my bag!!! Especially on social media, it feels very much like bleeding in shark infested waters.. 

'I cry myself to sleep, then business as normal when the alarm goes off at 5am and it has been like that for a long time.' 

She continued: 'But also so much change in such a short amount of time (you know I hate that (Taurus). I never expected to be moving into this apartment alone. And I'm in over my depth for sure.

'I want to be happy. I want Brad to be happy. Just one day at a time. For both of us. & anyone else who needs to read this. 

'Normal programming and chatting will resume asap. Ps thank you, I feel your love immensely.'
