Pete Wicks has made a pretty major relationship move with Olivia Attwood after the pair spent months keeping their romance largely under wraps.

The former TOWIE star, 37, has finally shared his first loved-up photos with Olivia, 35, on social media, making things Instagram official after weeks of fans piecing together their relationship from public outings and subtle clues.

Pete recently jetted out to Ibiza to visit Olivia while she was filming a new series of Bad Boyfriends, and his latest post gave followers a glimpse into their trip together.

Captioning a carousel of snaps from the holiday, he wrote: "I guess someone has to go first…IBIZA" followed by a black heart emoji.

Among the photos, one black-and-white picture shows the couple relaxing together on a yacht, while another captures Olivia lying across Pete's lap as he kisses the top of her head.

The post didn't go unnoticed by Pete's close mate and Staying Relevant podcast co-host Sam Thompson, who commented: "Never thought I’d see the day YOU hard launch!! Couldn’t be happier for you brother."

Meanwhile, Geordie Shore's Vicky Pattison chirped: "Hahahahah ooohhhh the hard launch here we goooooo."

"And we’re LIVE !!!!" commented one fan while a second gushed: "Am obsessed with this more than I am obsessed with myself."

A third chimed in: "I mean if ever there are two people meant to be together it’s you two. You both got there in the end."

"Well, isn’t this just the best first chapter EVER," beamed another.

And a final fan echoed: "The hard launch we needed."

The timing is particularly funny given Olivia had only just joked about exactly who would be making the first move online.

Speaking on her Olivia's House podcast just a matter of hours earlier, the former Love Islander laughed: "Just in the way that I don’t send the first good morning text, I’m not f*cking hard launching anyone first."

Pete had even commented on the episode teaser with the wide-eyed emoji, suggesting he already knew what was coming.

Referring to the podcast, Olivia commented on Pete's hard launch: "Oh so you DO listen to my podcast…"

The major relationship update comes after months of speculation surrounding the pair, who have been romantically linked since earlier this year in February following Olivia's split from ex Bradley Dack.

The couple, who also host a KISS FM radio show together, have largely kept quiet about their budding romance despite being papped on dates and showing subtle signs they were more than just colleagues.
