Olivia Attwood became emotional and broke down in tears as she packed up and moved out of the “dream home” she shared with her footballer hubby. The Love Island and Loose Women star, 34, filmed her final moments in the house for her 2.5million Instagram followers and was visibly emotional as she revealed she was “saying goodbye to the house I’ll never call home again”.
Olivia and Gillingham midfielder Bradley, who tied the knot in June 2023, moved into the lavish pad – worth a whopping £1million – in 2022 and transformed into their dream home complete with swimming pool, sprawling gardens for their rescue dogs Lola and Stitch, and his-and-hers walk-in wardrobes. But her new video showed the house full of empty shelves and cupboards and the couple surrounded by packing boxes as she declared “next chapter pending.”

“I spent the happiest, most peaceful times in my adult life in this house, or maybe my whole life,” she wrote. “I don’t think I would ever be ready to say goodbye. But things don’t always play out the way you thought they might.”
She also revealed she was finding it particularly hard because she was “hungover” on moving day, telling fans “Pro tip – don’t do a house move hungover”.
Olivia first shared glimpses of the uber-chic detached home on her reality series, Olivia Attwood Meets Her Match, and it was regularly described as her “dream home”. But in September this year, the Loose Women panellist revealed she and Brad were planning to sell it following a “challenging six months”, which included a summer break-in attempt.

There was also speculation about the state of her and Brad’s relationship following photographs of Olivia partying with her pal Pete Wicks in Ibiza. Speaking to The Sun about the major move, the podcaster said the Cheshire pad was their “family home” but the couple’s work commitments took them away so often they were rarely “in it”.
“The house is going to go on the market very soon,” she explained. “Essentially, I had this apartment in London that I was just using as a base for filming. And that’s what it was meant to be, but now we’re living here.”
It is thought the couple will make her London apartment their main residence for the time being – and her video included an ornament with a Post-it on it that read “London apartment move”.

She poked fun at her emotional state in the caption too, writing: “I’M NOT OK. You know how I feel about emotional displays on the Internet breaking my own rules lol.
“Neuro spicy people what is it about craving fresh starts and change but then the actual action of change makes you feel like you’re on fire from the inside!!!!” The emotional video montage ended with clips of Olivia stood outside waving a final goodbye to the house from the street outside.
