New anguish for Olly Murs as estranged brother rejects olive branch

The twins fell out over X Factor star missing wedding

Earlier this week we reported that Olly Murs was desperate to reunite with his estranged brother after eight years.

The pair haven’t spoken since Olly appeared on The X Factor and didn’t attend his brother’s wedding due to show commitments.

Brother Ben Hart was said to be so furious that he refused to speak to Olly again.

He even distanced himself from his family by taking on his wife’s maiden name of Hart!

By Olly says that he really wants to make up with his brother and last week spoke about their fall out.

“We never held a grudge, we never fell out when we were at home, ever,” he told The Sun.

“It’s hard now not ever having your twin brother around to experience this life that I have now got, knowing that we used to have an argument or a disagreement and we’d just get over it and it would be fine.

“In my head I think that I really hope that the next time I see him, and I don’t know when that’s going to be, but I do hope that will be the case.

“It sounds weird but I hope we just sit in a room and go, ‘It was a bit of a silly eight years wasn’t it?’”

But Olly, there’s bad news. Ben isn’t interested in reconciling with you. In fact he’s happy to carry not the way things are.

“I’ve moved on,” he told the People. “The last time I made contact I got the door slammed in my face.”
