Cara dropped as bridesmaid
Just months before the wedding, and just after they both celebrated the hen do in Mykonos, it was revealed that Love Island winner Cara would no longer be a bridesmaid.
Talking in her new! magazine column, Olivia admitted, “Cara’s got baby Freddie now and when I asked her she was a lot less busy and I thought she could handle the pressure.
"I said, 'I don’t need you to be my bridesmaid, you’re coming to the wedding regardless and if it’s easier on both of us with all the commitment, how do you feel about just coming to the wedding as a guest?'"
A defiant Instagram post
Following the interview, rumours went crazy suggesting the pair had a big fall out but to put it all to rest, they posed for a cute Instagram snap. Cara wrote, “Sorry to disappoint some people we are still besties @oliviadbuck.”
