Instagram clip: 'Me 5 minutes after I crash out' and the recovery joke
Attwood posted a candid clip in which she captioned the video, "Me 5 minutes after I crash out, " as she threw on a leather jacket and sunglasses and flipped her middle finger to the camera. In the same clip she declared that her "recovery time is unmatched, " a quippy note on how she's coping since the split from her husband, Bradley Dack.
She also shared an Instagram Story captioned, "Friends: 'I'm engaged', 'I'm pregnant', 'I just bought a house'. Me: " over a video that showed Kris Kardashian laughing and asking, "What day is it?"

Olivia Attwood on set in Turkey: filming The Price Of Perfection and answering followers
This week Attwood flew to Turkey to film new episodes of her series The Price Of Perfection and used a break on set to take questions from followers. When asked how she was doing in the wake of the split she replied, "I'm OK. "
She has said she is "working out a lot" and "filming a lot" to stay distracted and told a fan that she has "worked too hard for too long to let my professional life suffer. Been a lot of slapping myself round the face and gritting my teeth lol. " The presenter has been documenting a busy diary since confirming last month that she had ended her marriage to the footballer after two years together.
Late-night Soho outing with Pete Wicks and a 3am departure
Photographs showed Attwood, 34, out in London with her best pal and radio co-host Pete Wicks, 37, partying with friends at a club in Soho and leaving together in a car just before 3am to head back to their hotel in Central. She wore a pastel-yellow playsuit with white lace trim, black tights and heels, and threw on a red bomber jacket to shield herself from the February chill while the group waited in the smoking area for a taxi.
Attwood had earlier been celebrating a newly announced partnership with Garnier at The Newman Hotel before joining the group for a more raucous evening. She and Pete were seen deep in conversation at multiple points; the pair had previously been photographed cosying up on a yacht in Ibiza last summer, an episode that reportedly landed her "in the doghouse" with Bradley, who is 32.
Moving into a London apartment alone and emotional honesty
Last month, after weeks of speculation, the Bad Boyfriends presenter posted an Instagram Story showing her unpacking boxes in her new London apartment by herself. She wrote that "vulnerability is not [her] bag" and compared getting personal on social media to "bleeding in shark-infested waters. " She also revealed she had been "crying [herself] to sleep" while navigating major life changes and admitted, "I never expected to be moving into this apartment alone. And I’m in over my depth for sure. "
Addressing the marriage breakdown directly, she insisted there was no bad blood despite reports the relationship ended due to a "breach of trust" on his part. She wrote, "I just want to be happy. I want Brad to be happy. Just one day at a time. For both of us. " She had initially felt "heartbroken" when stories first surfaced in January; after ditching her wedding ring and a £200, 000 engagement ring, an insider said she is already talking about divorce because it is feeling very final and over for her.
Work, nights out and small rebellions while coping
Alongside filming and workouts, Attwood has posted more playful and risqué content: she changed into a racy yellow slip with sheer tights for a night out, then shared a final snap of herself rooting through her handbag while joking she was "looking for my last functioning brain cell. " She has admitted to "slapping herself in the face and gritting her teeth" to get through a busy schedule since the breakup, balancing professional commitments with social life as she recalibrates her personal life.
