Who is Olly Murs’ twin brother Ben and why did they fall out?

OLLY Murs’ relationship with his twin brother Ben has been strained ever since their fallout back in 2009.

Both have been vocal about the fact they don’t talk any more, with Olly left in tears over the situation.

Who is Olly Murs’ twin Ben and why did they fall out?

Ben and Olly famously fell out in 2009 when Olly, 33, was unable to attend his twin brother’s wedding due to commitments that he had with The X Factor.

His brother went on to fall out with his parents and older sister, Fay, as well.

Olly’s brother Ben changed his last name to Hart after marrying his wife as a way of distancing himself from his family.

Ben said: “I was very close to my parents, but fame and greed changed everything.”

Ben is married to Amy Hart and the pair have at least two children.

What has Olly said about the fall out?

On Saturday’s episode of The Voice (January 10, 2020) viewers will see Olly break down in tears over his brother and their fallout.

The singer got emotional when he spoke to Sir Tom Jones about his twin.

He said: “We had a big argument. I feel like the next time I’m going to see him is when we lose somebody close in our family, and I don’t want that to be the case. I’ve got no idea where he lives.”

Olly also previously admitted on ITV’s Lorraine in December 2018 that Christmas has never been the same without his twin there.

Olly also told in 2018 about the feud: “It’s difficult, it’s sad and it always has been a touchy subject for me because it’s not just me and him, there are a lot of other people involved, [like] my mum.”

He went on to reveal that he hoped that he would see his brother again “one day”.

What has Ben said about the fall out?

Ben said in an interview in 2017: “I was very close to my parents but fame and greed changed everything.”

He went on to claim his parents enjoyed the fame that came with Olly’s success on The X Factor, while he wasn’t interested in the glitzy parties and famous faces.

“I can’t believe what my mum did by talking about my childhood. I was so upset when I read it,” he added.

“Why has my mum, the person who should defend me, said things that are hurtful and untrue?”
