Sex with footballer boyfriend Bradley Dack is my secret to success on The Games, says Olivia Attwood

INJURED Olivia Attwood will need her saucy pre-show ritual more than ever for tonight’s live grand final of The Games.

But it could prove more than a little tricky to organise.

The Love Islander turned reality star is vying to be crowned winner of the celebrity Olympics, which has events in cycling, track and field and swimming.

She explained: “The swimming was a good day and I’m trying to remember what I did then.

“It was probably a bit of adult time with my fiancé Brad the night before. It calmed me down.

“Sex was my lucky thing, I think.

“Now everything’s gone downhill since he left.”

Her fellow contender Lucrezia Millarini has a much more straightforward idea to bring her luck.

The ITV News presenter said: “I’ve always got my lucky pants.

“They are just about holding on. They’re a bit old.

“Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. I’ve got a few more events to go, so we’ll see.”

At 46, Lucrezia has proven to be the dark horse of the competition after storming to second on the leaderboard by yesterday.

She added: “I’ve been quietly getting on with it, working hard, putting the effort in. I’m chuffed to be high up the leaderboard.

“I want women my age to know it’s never too late to start.”

Olivia has limped through the week after busting her shoulder at the weekend.

The former grid girl said: “What it needs is rest but every day I’m just aggravating it.

“I’m taped up. I look like one of the toys of Toy Story that’s been left behind and patched back together.”
