“My heart is broken”.
Olly Murs and his mum have opened up about the feud between Olly and his twin brother.
Back when Olly was competing The X Factor he made a decision to miss his twin brother’s wedding to perform at the semi-finals of the TV series.
As a result, the brother distanced himself from Olly and his family. Nearly eight years on and they still don’t talk.
Olly and his mum VickyLynn spoke with The Sunday Times Magazine where they opened up about the situation.
According to Digital Spy, VickyLynn said:
“It was such a shock it made me ill. I even thought I had MS – I had to use a walking stick because my legs were so weak.
“I also couldn’t work. I was on the verge of a breakdown. I’m much better now but my heart is broken. Ben’s broken my heart, and his dad’s, but I will not hear anything against him, I don’t think he understands what he’s done.
I’ll go on loving him and sticking up for him until I die.”
Olly then added that the problems began long before the wedding:
“We don’t speak to my twin brother and that’s been extremely difficult. Long before X Factor there were problems between Ben and his girlfriend and our family.
He made the decision not to speak to the family… But the door’s always open for him to come back.”
