In the competitive world of television, a sense of rivalry has emerged between Olivia Attwood and Maura Higgins as they strive for success. Recently, Olivia, 34, has expressed to friends that she feels Maura is imitating her every move, leading to a new dynamic in their relationship.
Sources reveal that Olivia has even jokingly referred to Maura as her ‘stalker’, particularly after Maura was spotted posing with Parisian fashion influencer Michael Coste on Instagram shortly after Olivia had posted a picture with him. Both women are also expanding their presence in the United States through their affiliation with Align PR agency.
However, Maura has already made strides in the American entertainment industry by securing a role in the US adaptation of “The Traitors,” while Olivia is navigating a recent separation from her husband, Bradley Dack.
A source disclosed to The Sun, stating, “Olivia is currently dealing with personal challenges and trying to rebuild her life, but she is puzzled by Maura’s continuous emulation of her actions. She often jests with her friends that Maura is akin to a stalker.”
The source added, “Despite their indifference towards each other, Olivia finds it intriguing that Maura persistently mirrors her choices, although she acknowledges that imitation can be a form of flattery.”
Olivia rose to fame through her appearance on “Love Island” in 2017, while Maura gained recognition from the show two years later. Initially represented by PR agency Dundas Communications alongside notable figures like Dermot O’Leary and Billie Piper, both stars eventually switched to Align PR, with Maura following Olivia’s move to the same agency.
Their paths crossed at the Glamour Women Of The Year Awards in New York, where both donned black attire, sparking a fashion moment. Apart from style choices, tensions arose due to Olivia’s close friendship with former TOWIE star Pete Wicks, who had a brief romance with Maura in 2024.
Following their split, Maura suspected Pete of infidelity, leading to friction as he began co-hosting a radio show with Olivia. Feeling uncomfortable with the situation, Maura expressed her concerns about Pete’s loyalty, emphasizing her expectation for his support.
In response, Olivia defended Pete against Maura’s accusations, highlighting her protective nature towards her friends and praising his loyalty. She affirmed, “If he’s on your side, you can count on him to stand by you.”
