Olly Murs 'told twin brother to delete his phone number'

Ben Murs-Hart, Olly Murs' estranged twin brother, has revealed that he can't repair their relationship because the 'Dance With Me Tonight' singer won't even speak to him anymore.

The pair fell out back in 2009, after Olly missed Ben's wedding in order to appear on the semi-final of 'The X Factor', and he has now admitted to Britain's The Sun newspaper that he has tried to call his brother, but he won't pick up the phone so it's unlikely that they will ever put the tension behind them:

"I'm genuinely so proud of what Olly's done. But he's become a total stranger to me. I told him on voicemail if he didn't want to know me anymore it was his decision. That's when he told me to delete his number. He keeps saying I have to step up and make things right. Well, I've tried. Olly has no interest - he won't speak to me. He doesn't even want to meet my son, which hurts more than anything."

A spokesperson for Murs has since explained: "Olly and his family feel that this upsetting and distressing situation should remain private, and should be resolved out of the public eye. Olly would rather not comment publicly on this matter, which has had a profound effect on the entire family."
