Sam asked how going official had been and Pete, after a swig of Red Bull, admitted there had been a thought process and said: “Er yeah, the thought process was what would Liv like?”
He added: “We’d spoken about it and I thought ‘ah f**k it’ you know let’s go and do it.

“Obviously the first photo had to be of me and Liv, and all I really cared about was I didn’t embarrass her”.
Sam reassured him and said: “I don’t think you did”.
Talking of the nuances of the upload, which came with the caption: “I guess someone has to go first…IBIZA” followed by a black heart emoji, Pete added Instagram had suggested the accompanying music.
He then said: “Just simple.
“Just there we go, now it’s out it’s fine, we’re good”.
Sam added: “Pete’s got a girlfriend, my boy has got a girlfirend!”
Liv, 37, and Pete – who host a KISS FM radio show together – began dating back in February, following Olivia’s split from husband Bradley Dack.
Pete recently flew out to visit Olivia in Ibiza as she filmed a new series of her show, Bad Boyfriends, and promptly has shared snaps of them together for the first time.
The first black and white snap saw them lying together on a yacht while sailing across the water, and another showed Olivia lying in Pete’s lap as he kissed the top of her head.
