Olly Murs Has A Secret Twin!

Olly Murs has a secret; an estranged twin brother called Ben!

Ben hasn’t spoken to Olly or the rest of his family for the last five years.  It’s a sad story, but one that can hopefully be resolved over this happy, compassionate Christmas period.

Everything came to a head in the previously rocky relationship, when Ben’s wedding fell on the same day as The X Factor semi finals rehearsals and Olly chose to attend the latter!

Olly opened up to the Daily Mail “We 100% think about him at Christmas. I’m not going to sit here and say we don’t, we do. We honestly do. He’s my brother. My mum, dad, nan and granddad are obviously thinking about him – he’s family. And I hope he’s thinking about us. Hopefully in a nice way. It was something that was a spoiling point for a few years before X Factor, and that was the tipping point. He’s got a family now, he’s moving on, and I’m sure one day we will reconcile. When that happens, I don’t know. It’s up to him really.”

Olly cares deeply about his family, “I wrote a song on my second album and it’s called I Don’t Love You Too. It’s about two people having an argument – it was about my nan and granddad. She’d be the first to admit that they do argue. She says, ‘I hate you Stan,’ and then she says, ‘I don’t mean it.’

“She didn’t like it, so I didn’t sing it on tour because I didn’t want her to be upset watching it. I decided to cut that from the set.”

Olly Murs is a huge star; he was a finalist in the 2009 X Factor. In 2011 he released his first album, In Case You Didn’t Know and his second album in 2012, Right Place Right Time. Troublemaker,was Olly’s lead single on his third album, Right Place Right Timesold over 441,000 copies in the UK to become the 29th biggest-selling single of 2014. But, no one’s life is perfect, is it?
