X Factor’s Bradley Hunt ditches sidekick Ottavio and will enter Big Brother alone

X FACTOR’S Bradley Hunt has dropped his best friend Ottavio Columbro and will go into the Big Brother house alone, The Sun Online can reveal.

Fame hungry Bradley has been boasting to his pals about being signed up to the show and has bragged about leaving his Bratavio co-star alone on the outside.

A source to The Sun Online: “Bradley’s been telling anyone who’ll listen that he’s been signed up this series of Big Brother.

“But when people have asked him about Ottavio he’s tried to change the subject and said it’s got nothing to do with him.

“Bradley wants to get back into the limelight and would do anything to get people talking about him again.”

While Bradley may be going solo into the house, there’s nothing to say he won’t be joined by his singing sidekick once he’s settled in.

The Sun Online revealed in March that both were on the producers’ contestant wish list.

A source exclusively told us: “The boys are real opinion splitters - but ultimately they just want to have a good time.

“During their time on The X Factor they had the whole nation talking about them, and that's what bosses are hoping will happen when Big Brother comes back.”

This year’s theme will focus around the idea of the “ultimate social experiment” meaning it’s likely the pals could be torn apart to see how they cope.

But right now, Bradley has got a one way ticket into the house and it doesn't seem like he's giving his best pal a second thought.

When they joined The X Factor last year, they quickly became fan favourites after a huge row about uncooked chicken threatened to tear their friendship apart.
