Olly Murs: I'd like feud with my twin to end but it's up to him

Olly Murs has revealed that he and his twin Ben have not spoken for two years after the singer missed his brother's wedding so he could appear in the X Factor semi-final.

The pair fell out and Ben later sold his story to a newspaper, claiming that Olly's drive for fame had torn the family apart.

The singer missed the marriage ceremony while competing on X Factor in 2009. He finished as runner-up.

Despite the approach of Christmas, Murs, 27, says he still believes it is not up to him to make the first move in healing their relationship.

He said: "It's just the same as it was two years ago. I'm sure in the future we will chat and speak about it but at the moment it's the same old.

"It is so sad. This is Christmas but it was the same last year and I hope in the future we will reconcile. I don't know if I will give the olive branch, as he was the one who sold the story, so I don't think it's my place to say sorry.

"I think he knows what he has done so I will have to wait for him to come round and apologise. He hasn't yet but we'll have to see and hopefully in a couple of years we will sort it all out. Fingers crossed we do."

Murs has been linked to his Xtra Factor co-host Caroline Flack but he admits it is a "shame" that they never got together. Flack, 32, has recently started dating 17-year-old One Direction singer Harry Styles.

Murs said: "Caroline and I get on so well and we're really good mates. She's a great girl and we have a laugh. It has never really happened so it's just one of those things and it's a shame.

"There's no jealousy of Harry at all. Just leave them to it and who cares? That's my take. I love Caroline and I am friends with Harry. He's a good lad."

The Xtra Factor was the singer's first try at TV presenting but music comes first and Murs recently released his second album, In Case You Didn't Know.
