Recently, the 32-year-old singer revealed he is desperate to repair his relationship with his sibling Ben Hart - who he has not spoken to in eight years - but Ben insisted he has tried to reach out in the past and "got the door slammed in my face".

He told the Sunday People: "I wish him all the best. But I've got my life and he's got his. The last time I made contact I got the door slammed in my face."

Ben has stopped talking to his parents Vicky-Lyn and Pete and has blamed 'The X Factor' for causing a wedge between him and his family after Olly missed his wedding because of his commitments to the show.

He has also taken his wife's last name in a bid to distance himself from his famous brother and despite Olly's recent comments about him, he is not looking for a reconciliation.

Olly recently said: "I think it's well documented in the press now that we don't get on. I think it's probably the hardest thing for me, that we don't get on now.

"Whenever we had an argument as kids, because we were twins, we'd go 'Ahhhh', then sit and watch TV and we would just be normal again.

"We never held a grudge, we never fell out when we were at home, ever, 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?'"
