Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood have been spotted kissing in a hotel bar just weeks after she split from her husband Bradley Dack.
The pair were seen locking lips at the Flute Bar in Soho, London on Friday night in photos obtained by The Sun.
Pete, 37, and Olivia, 34, have previously insisted they were just friends but the kiss proves otherwise. They are thought to have begun their fling at the end of February.
An onlooker said the couple partied for about three and a half hours at the Flute Bar – the same venue where Pete was spotted kissing Olivia’s rival Maura Higgins in 2024.
A friend of the couple said: ‘Their passionate romance only started in the last few weeks, since she has split from Bradley, there was no overlap.
‘Olivia’s close friends know about this new development and are pleased Pete has put a smile back on her face. He has been a shoulder to cry on and there for Olivia during this really tough time.

‘She has been in the depths of a really horrible break-up and Pete has helped her through it.’
The insider said Pete and Olivia arrived at the bar at around 8:30pm and had drinks with a group of friends until around midnight.
They are said to have kissed around 10pm as their friends cheered them on. Olivia reportedly screamed in delight and punched the air in celebration.
Daily Mail has contacted representatives of Pete and Olivia for comment.
The couple attempted to go incognito in Manchester earlier this month as they departed a hotel mid-morning with their luggage after carrying two pizzas to his room at 3am the night before.

Olivia looked cosy with Pete as they partied together at the BRITs and appeared to leave the event in a car together later in the evening in pictures published by The Mirror.
During the ceremony, she was seen leaning in to him amid the busy and noisy surroundings while Pete spoke animatedly back to her.
Just a few weeks ago, she was seen out with Pete in London after her Garnier brand launch event.
Following the bash at The Newman Hotel, which saw Olivia unveiled as the new face of Garnier, she headed off with Pete and a group of pals.

Olivia raised eyebrows with pal Pete as they were pictured cosying up during a messy trip to Ibiza last August.
Photos showed the former TOWIE star with his hand on the bikini-clad stunner’s thigh as the pair soaked up the sun on a yacht.
She admitted at the time, she could understand why the images made her footballer husband ‘upset’ and confessed her marriage was a ‘work in progress’.
Addressing the breakdown of her marriage, Olivia 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.’
