The fallout is continuing after Olivia Attwood's bombshell statement about her split from Bradley Dack - and her family have reportedly made their thoughts clear.
Reports emerged in January that the former Love Island star, 34, and Gillingham FC footballer, 32, had split after ten years together and two years of marriage.
Sources at the time said it was due to a 'breach of trust,' however, neither party commented on what had happened.
However, things took a turn on Tuesday night (2 April) when Olivia took to Instagram with a lengthy statement, claiming the sportsman 'lied' and 'cheated,' despite her standing by him for 10 years.

The reality TV star said that the breaking point was when she was 'confronted' at a screening of one of her shows by someone telling her about a time when he 'yet again' had 'gone back with a random girl'.
She admitted she was 'covering up' for him and 'lying to her family and friends,' while 'arranging therapy and believing the grovelling apologies'.
Now, The Mirror has reported that Olivia's sister, Georgia, and brother, Max, have both unfollowed Bradley on social media.
A source told The Sun: "Both her brother and her sister have unfollowed Bradley now they know the true extent of what was going on.
"They always really liked Bradley, but now Olivia’s admitted what she was covering up, enough is enough."
Olivia's bombshell statement in full read: "I have stood by Brad for the last ten years during which he lied & cheated on me multiple times. The breakdown of our relationship is because of this.
"I was in love with him and the potential I saw in him, and wanted always to help him try to be the best version of himself - as I did for 10 years -covering up. Lying to my family and friends. Arranging therapy. Believing the grovelling apologies.
"Of course, now feel like a f**king idiot. (Especially as more things come to the surface) I never wanted to say any of this. I find the whole situation utterly humiliating."
"But some of the disgusting things written about me in the last few weeks just blow my mind - and of course sadly it's always fellow females doing the writing."
She recalled: "This January when I was confronted at the screening of one of my shows by someone reporting to me yet another night he had gone back with a random girl I decided it was time to finally leave.
"I'm not losing my job, I'm not pulling the wool over any one's eyes. Yes I'm dating. Yes I'm getting up every single day even when I have cried all night to film the shows I love filming, record my podcast, record my radio show, shoot campaigns, and somewhere in there TRY to move on."
Bradley has also issued remarks for the first time since the split to defend his ex.
As reported by goss.ie, he commented on an Instagram post where fans were debating about the split, telling a journalist: "You’ve got a lot of this wrong.. just leave her alone.”
It follows the claim that despite 'getting married' in June 2023 at the five-star Bulgari hotel in Knightsbridge, London, and it being filmed for reality TV, the celebrity couple were never officially wed.
The Mail on Sunday reported that there is actually no official record of the marriage - the union was not logged with the General Register Office, which documents all marriages and civil partnerships in England and Wales.
An insider claimed that Olivia ‘uncovered a number of mistruths’, which left her feeling unable to finalise the legalities of their marriage.
Tyla has contacted a representative for Olivia for comment.
