Olivia Attwood has revealed she feared she was 'moving too fast' with her boyfriend Pete Wicks as she overcame her 'awful' split from husband Bradley Dack.
The presenter, 35, began dating her longtime pal earlier this year after it was revealed she and Bradley had ended their marriage over claims he was unfaithful.
Olivia and Pete, 37, only confirmed their romance last month, and the star has now admitted she was told by pals she should 'stay single' after she and Bradley split.
Last month it also emerged that Bradley has rekindled his relationship with ex Emily Maloney, with the pair seen together in pictures obtained by the Daily Mail last month.
On Friday, sources also shared that the sale of their £1million house showed that the writing had been on the wall surrounding Olivia and Bradley for some time. You can read the full story here.
Speaking about her romance with Pete, Olivia said: 'It was unexpected, we went from platonic to non-platonic very quickly.

'He's extremely intelligent and compassionate and patient, all the things I desperately needed but didn't know I needed.'
She went on to tell The Times: 'Is something amazing happening while I'm still processing something awful? Yes. People are telling me to be single, to go on dates. But if I shut things down with Pete I'd only be dating people to find the connection I have with him.'
Olivia also confessed she has considered the prospect of starting a family 'with the right person', but has come to terms with the idea that she may not have children.
She said: 'I could also see it not being part of my story. I'm at peace with that. You can't have everything. So many parts of my life have worked out so much better than I could ever imagine.'
Bradley and Emily are said to have quietly reunited following his shock split from Olivia in January, amid her secret romance with Pete.
And while Olivia is loved up with the ex TOWIE hunk, with their romance hard launched on social media last month, she didn't react well when new photos of Bradley and Emily emerged recently.
In a series of scathing posts, Olivia branded Emily Bradley's 'bit on the side' and called her a 'professional benchwarmer' after the couple were seen together.
