ITV bosses are firmly standing by their golden girl Olivia Attwood after she was embroiled in a fakery row over the revelation she was never married to Bradley Dack.
The former Love Island star, 34, and footballer, 32, separated in January nearly three years after apparently tying the knot, with the proposal and big day itself captured on camera for 17-episode ITV series.
But the Daily Mail revealed on Saturday that there is no official record of the marriage, with Olivia reportedly choosing not to make it legally binding as she had uncovered ‘mistruths’. You can read the full story here.
Since the claims emerged it’s been business as usual for Olivia, and despite fears for her future at ITV, Daily Mail has learned she is jetting to South Korea on Sunday to continue filming for the new series of The Price Of Perfection as planned.
On Saturday night, the star also took to Instagram to promote her appearance on the channel’s glossy Saturday night show Celebrity Sabotage.
The star reposted a clip of herself from the show, as well as another moment which showed Sam Thompson and Joel Dommett playfully drawing a moustache on her face in a snap on one of the ITV lifts.

It comes after sources claimed that bosses were concerned Olivia could be ‘engulfed’ by the scandal that she and Bradley were never legally married, after the time and money invested in her.
‘She always acknowledged him as her husband and used his name, so there was never any need to question the matter,’ a source told The Sun.
‘ITV would never dream of intentionally trying to deceive their viewers and appreciate the severity of the revelation.
‘The show now looks like a cash grab from Olivia and Bradley and makes a mockery of her fanbase.’
Elsewhere on Saturday it was reported that a number of women have accused Bradley of cheating on Olivia with them.
In one incident, the Gillingham midfielder allegedly ‘had sex with a woman he met on a night out in Alderley Edge while Olivia was out of the country’.
Bradley reportedly spent the night at the woman’s house in Wythenshawe, before leaving the next morning and never contacting her again.
A source said that the night the alleged infidelity occurred, ‘Olivia was ringing his phone all night and couldn’t get hold of him’.
A representative for Olivia declined to comment when contacted by the Daily Mail, whilst a representative for Bradley has been approached.
Amid their bitter split, Olivia was spotted flashing a huge smile in London on Thursday, while ex Bradley cut a sombre figure on the golf course in Kent.
The pair were seen for the first time since she spoke on her podcast about his proposal.

On Thursday, Olivia was the epitome of chic as she was seen arriving to record her podcast in a striking faux fur green jacket which was layered over a dark sweater and trousers.
The TV personality toted a £15,000 black Birkin bag and pulled a small suitcase, appearing in great spirits as she modelled a pair of stylish shades and posed for snaps.
Meanwhile around 50 miles away Bradley joined a group of pals for a game of golf near his Gillingham F.C. team’s training ground.
Decked out in Adidas the footballer wore a white top and black trousers, completing the look with a pale purple baseball cap.
It comes after Olivia hinted at her husband’s infidelity during their marriage, as she asked women to come forward on social media with their experiences.
Speaking on her first podcast episode since sharing the post, Olivia’s House, Olivia claimed that if she was asked again in the same scenario she would say no.
During a discussion with her guest Amy Jackson about proposals, she was awkwardly asked what her own was like, weeks after announcing their break-up.
Olivia appeared happy enough to discuss the romantic moment with her ex, but admitted it is not the style of proposal she would like now.
She said: ‘Don’t judge me, I think we were one of the first couples on my Instagram to do Dubai on the beach. Now if someone did Dubai on the beach I’d say no, because it’s just… if I see one more Burj Al Arab engagement, I’ll vomit. But when we did it, it was early enough it wasn’t. I loved it. I thought it was coming, but I didn’t know it was that day.
‘Getting engaged is great, you get told how great you are, you get a diamond ring. What’s not to like? It’s a great day out.’
