Former X Factor star Bradley Hunt admitted his stint on Jeremy Kyle caused him to not speak to his bandmate for “three years”.
The TV star first shot to fame on ITV’s talent scout programme back in 2016. Avid fans will know that Bradley formed one half of the band Bratavio alongside his co-star Ottavio Columbro – now Ottavia, after starting her transition in 2019.
Together, they proved to be somewhat iconic on the reality programme after they’d had a huge falling out over “raw chicken”. An epic argument that still circulates on social media to this very day.

After the twosome were forced to rekindle in front of Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Nicole Scherzinger and Sharon Osbourne on the X Factor, their relationship was never the same again. Bradley confessed to Daily Star that he went along with it for the sake of being on the show.

He exclusively told us: “Throughout the competition we made up again. Nothing really changed between us because of the way that we fell out.
“Ottavia knew that she could still get away with those types of behaviours, and that she kind of had me trapped because of wanting to go through the process.”
After their stint on the X Factor, the pair were soon at loggerheads again after a number of their “deep issues” had been swept under the carpet for the greater good of the singing ITV production. Before long, Bradley and Ottavia were no longer in touch.

As their relationship and viral dramatic argument had sparked a media frenzy back in 2016, the pair were also asked to appear on the daytime favourite Jeremy Kyle to resolve some of their disputes. However, their stint on the programme made matters much worse.
According to Bradley, they’d not spoken for two years before appearing on The Jeremy Kyle show but their feud raged on for a further three years after their stint with Jezza. On the celebrity special, Ottavia admitted to “being in love” with Bradley.

Jeremy also probed: “Have you two been intimate?” To which Ottavia replied: “We tried but it didn’t work out,” as Bradley sat off camera shaking his head at his former friend’s comment.
Speaking about his time on the British talk show, Bradley confessed to Daily Star: “We started arguing after the show [X Factor] when we started doing the clubs again and TV and then just more arguments.
“Then we didn’t talk for like two years and then she took me on a Jeremy Kyle Celebrity Special, with Jeremy Kyle. Before that ended we had a fight on the show and then didn’t speak for about three years again.”
But all is not at a loss, with the twosome now trying to patch things up. Bradley said: “Recently she’s been speaking to me on Instagram again – he has transitioned now and is now she.”
