Olivia Attwood has said she was 'really lucky' that 'nothing bad' happened during her wild partying lifestyle in her younger years as she backs a safe drinking campaign.
The engaged TV personality, 31, has been known to enjoy a boozy night out with fellow celebs and influencers but has recently turned a page as she looks ahead to married life with her footballed fiancé Bradley Dack.

Looking back: Olivia Attwood has said she was 'really lucky' that 'nothing bad' happened during her wild partying lifestyle in her younger years as she backs a safe drinking campaign
She said: 'I'm a big fan of the drink, always have been, it takes me back to being younger but I've enjoyed a drink through to my adult life.
'I talk to my friends and look back on the way we were when we were on nights out and think, "God we were really lucky.." that nothing bad ever did happen because when you're young you're loving life.
'But obviously the world can be a dangerous place and especially if you are drinking it's important to not overdo it.'

'They don't interest me, they don't entertain me, I find them really boring so if I have another year to say "oh sorry, we're not having kids because we're not married" even though once we are married, I'll still be like umm... We're not in any hurry as a couple, he's not going anywhere, and I'm not going anywhere.
'I see children in my future. I want to have a family. But I feel like, I've just turned 30 and right now there's zero appeal and that's my honest opinion. I spend an afternoon with my friends and their children and I'm like no, no, no. It's tough.'
But speaking about the same topic a year later, she has warmed to the idea of children slightly more, revealing that she has had a fleeting maternal feeling every so often.
'It doesn't sound great but the wedding venue that we saw on ITV, I got rid of it,' she told MailOnline. I made the very risky move of basically pulling the plug on that only a few weeks ago.
