has spoken out about that PDA-packed holiday with  in St Tropez as their romance continues to heat up.

The couple, who have been dating since March, were spotted sharing steamy kisses by the pool at the celeb-favourite haunt Nikki Beach club last week.

Now, on the latest episode of his Staying Relevant podcast with best pal , Pete, 37, opened up about the Mediterranean getaway for the first time.

He said: 'It was delightful. Switched off from the world as much as I could.'

Sam, 33, couldn't resist bringing up the , which were taken by an onlooker staying at the same resort.

He asked: 'Question, if you don't mind, why I've never been locked in an embrace with you in a pool? I've never been in that position with you before, you looked so comfortable and relaxed.'

Deliberately dodging Sam's question, Pete replied: 'I had a very, very lovely holiday. 

'And do you know what? For me, obviously, you know, I don't go on holiday. This year I'm on holiday, this is holiday mode Pete.

'It's very nice to get away for a few days. I must say, I don't know what I've been missing for the past 37 years of my life. 

'I've refused to go on holiday because I'm pathetic and think it's a waste of time.

'I've now decided that holidays are not a waste of time. Do you know what, we had a lovely time.

'We had lots of plans, we had lots of different things going on, we had a whole itinerary.

'On the down day, got up early, sat by the pool, had a little coffee, I went for a massage.'

The couple have sparked up a steamy romance in the months since the presenter split from her footballer husband Bradley Dack in January.

The presenter was then linked to her podcast co-host Pete, when they were spotted kissing in March.

Earlier this month, Olivia hinted that her romance with Pete had taken a more serious turn, posting a snap on Instagram where the star could be seen on her phone lock-screen.

The smitten star also revealed her hopes that she will marry again, five months after her split from her husband.

During an episode of Celebrity Gogglebox, the Love Islander, who appears on the show with her mother Jennifer, said she didn't think their marriage 'would be that bad'.

Shortly after splitting from Bradley she accused him of cheating on her multiple times. Despite their huge ITV wedding, they never made their union legally binding.

The television personality admitted on Gogglebox: 'I didn't think my first marriage would be amazing, but I didn't think it would be that bad.

'I've decided now I am going to get married a few times, or engaged, because I like the ring.'

After her split from Bradley, Olivia spoke out about what 'mistruths' are as she claimed Bradley 'lied and cheated' during their relationship, and now she feels like a 'f*****g idiot'.

The television personality also denied trying to trick fans over her fake wedding scandal, and confirmed her new romance with Pete.

Olivia wrote: 'I have stood by Brad for the last ten years during which he lied and cheated on me multiple times. The breakdown of our relationship is because of this.

'I was in love with him and the potential I saw in him and wanted always to help him try to be the best version of himself - as I did for 10 years - covering up. Lying to my family and friends. Arranging therapy. Believing the grovelling apologies.

'I of course now feel like a f*****g idiot. (Especially as more things come to the surface) I never wanted to say any of this. I find the whole situation utterly humiliating.'

Olivia went on to speak about the moment she decided to walk away from the relationship, as well as confirming her relationship with ITV is strong following reports the broadcaster was 'furious' over the fake wedding scandal.

She continued: 'This January when I was confronted at the screening of one of my shows by someone reporting to me yet another night he had gone back with a random girl - I decided it was time to finally leave.

'I'm not losing my job, I'm not pulling the wool over anyone's eyes. Yes I'm dating.

'Yes I'm getting up every single day even when I have cried all night to film the shows I love filming, record my podcast, record my radio show, shoot campaigns and somewhere in there TRY to move on.'
