    This is what happens when you bitch about someone on social media and then invite them on to your talk show for a chat. As this awkward clip shows, you don’t want to start on Bradley Hunt and Ottavio Columbro, who made a name for themselves on X Factor a couple of years ago as the duo Bratavio.

    Big Brother star, “Mr Showbiz” real name Simon Gross invited the duo on to his web chat show, when the subject of alleged historic tweets was raised. Well, Bratavio went to town over a hateful tweet in which Simon supposedly called them “talentless”.

    In an Instagram post which Bradley described as, “When you confront someone who slags you off online,” Mr Showbiz gets a grilling with the pair eventually walking out on the interview.

    It’s possibly the most awkward interview moment of 2018.

    When Simon said, “you’re on my show!” Ottavio comes back with “You were begging us to come on your show, you begged”

    Just watch as the cringe just gets cringier.

    When you confront someone who slags you off online ?????

  • Can Jeremy Kyle save X Factor’s Bratavio?

    Can Jeremy Kyle save X Factor’s Bratavio?

    They became overnight sensations when Louis Walsh gave them a chance to shine on ITV… but it’s all gone south since.

    Following on from an epic fallout last year, when the pair (Bradley Hunt and Ottavio Columbo) went their own ways and released their own singles, it seems that the duo is willing to give their X Factor band, Bratavio, one more try.

    Bradley released “Side Dish” and Ottavio released “I Don’t Wanna Be Us”.

    When Bradley released his song, he insisted at the time, the dis song, wasn’t about his ex-bandmate despite the song containing the lyrics, “can you stop stabbing me in the back, with that fork” and feeding a picture of Ottavio into a shredder. The relationship between the two soured with Bradley calling it “the worst fall out to date”.

    Happier times. Ottavio and Bradley strip off for an impromptu photoshoot.

     

    A breakdown in communication.

    The pair will appear on tomorrow’s Jeremy Kyle show and he’ll try and sort their issues once and for all. The pair, who have come to loggerheads are hoping that Jeremy Kyle will be able to sort out their issues and help the band reform.

    Speaking to THEGAYUK.com Bradley Hunt, explained why they chose Jeremy Kyle to air their grievances,

    “Well it was at a point of no return but as we are used to TV it seemed right to do it in front of cameras and a professional like Jeremy and the team!

    “As we have a tricky unlikely friendship and have been through the most unique of events together!

    “So an audience and Jeremy was the perfect setting to get our points across,

    “This was the worst fall out to date and not petty this time. Maybe the viewers will see a different more mature side to us”.

  • Bradley insists his new song is not about his former X Factor partner Ottavio

    Bradley Hunt has hit out at the suggestion that his debut single, Side Dish is about his former X Factor partner Ottavio.

    Bradley’s new single and video must be one of the campest, colourful singles of 2017.

    So last week, Ottavio released his debut single and this week, Bradley, who was one-half of the flamboyant duo Bratavio on the 2016 series of X Factor, has released his. But Bradley has insisted that the song is not about his former singing partner.

    This is despite a scene in his video for the song, showing Bradley shredding a picture of Ottavio – before throwing the pieces into the air.

    Whilst looking at the photo, Bradley can be heard saying, “can you stop stabbing me in the back, with that fork”.

    Bradley finds a picture of his ex- X Factor partner Ottavio in a pizza box.

    Bradley can be seen feeding the picture of his former partner in a shredder, whilst the lyrics “can you stop stabbing me in the back” are heard on the catchy track.

    Bradley’s single which was released today, has already racked up nearly 4000 views.

  • You won’t believe where X Factor’s Ottavio is working now…

    Working 9 to 5 what a way…

    You won't believe where X Factor's Ottavio is working now...

    Ottavio, who was one-half of Bratavio has got a new day dream – supporting his dream to become a successful recording artist. The singer, who has just released his debut single – was proud to show off the fact that he now works for the UK’s biggest supermarket – yes Tesco.

    The job might be miles away from the glamour of hanging out with Louis Walsh and the X Factor juggernaut, but the star insists he’s still working towards becoming a singing sensation, plus he looks pretty hot in his uniform!

    Last year Louis Walsh was heavily criticised and homophobically abused online when he decided to take the duo through to the live shows. In the end, Bratavio’s success on the show was short lived as they only managed to stay the course for one show.

    Along with Bradley Hunt (Right) the duo became one of the most talked about act on last year’s X Factor. They don’t perform together anymore/

    When asked by fans if he had a job – the singer replied, “Yes, I love earning money and following my dream at the same time”.

    The duo no longer performs together, and Bradley was recently seen with his boyfriend hanging out at Warwickshire Pride.

    Listen to his brand new single here or buy it from iTunes.


    Good on you! Keep the dream flying

  • BRATAVIO: The gay community calls us a DISGRACE

    BRATAVIO: The gay community calls us a DISGRACE

    X Factor stars Bratavio have spoken out about the hate they’ve received from the gay community since leaving the ITV talent show.

    Speaking on Simon Gross‘s YouTube The Showbiz Show today, singing duo, Bratavio have opened up about the negativity they’ve recieved from the gay community since they left the show. The pair were the first act to be voted off in last year’s series – but had one of the most talked about auditions in the show’s history.

    The duo said that they never have trouble when they make appearances at straight clubs, but in gay clubs they say that people snub them and that club-goers shout abuse at them. The pair even fear that they will get pelted with eggs.

    Warwickshire-born Bradley Hunt said,

    “I’d say the amount of abuse after the show has been off gay people in clubs and that, I go to all the straight clubs and it’s fine. I go to the gay clubs and they shout ‘fake’, ‘look at them’, ‘don’t ask them for a photograph’.

    ALSO READ: Just because you’re gay doesn’t mean you’re not a homophobe.

    They also claim that many in the community say they are a disgrace, but Bradley hit back saying that he never claimed to be an ambassador and says he’s not “representing” the community.

    He said,

    “They say that we disgrace the community and I don’t even that I’m the ambassador for it, I’m not representing it, it’s our personalities that we are showing on the show”.


    Ottavio, who appeared in a previous series of X Factor before teaming up with Bradley in 2016 says that the act fear they’ll be attacked on stage.

    He said,

      “We always worry when we go onstage that someone is going to throw something at us like eggs or something and if they did that I’d go down the stage and knock them out”.

    X Factor stars, Bratavio have caused a stir… with fans even suggesting that the stir is in Bradley’s pants!

    They may have been the first to leave the X Factor competition (yes even before Honey G) but the Bratavio pair, Bradley and Ottavio still know how to get the conversation going by uploading a picture like this to their Insta feeds.

    Together, the pair published this hair-raising, pant-tastic selfie revealing that they both have amazing bodies. Who knew. Well, we sort of did, when Bradley posted this rather thirst quenching picture last month.

    Just take a moment to take in Ottavio’s hair and question… just how did he do that?

    The hot shot got some of their fans hot under the collar, which some even suggesting that Bradley had a “boner”. However, on further surveillance, we can reveal it’s just the shadows.

    Although we do have to ask the question – why on earth the pair is posing for this photo?

    The mind boggles. It really does.

  • 6 things we learnt this week: Judge Rinder is hot, Mary’s left the building and homophobia in Hollywood still exists

    This week we’ve learnt a lot. From Mary Berry to Judge Rinder… Here’s 6 things that got our readers talking. (now with added emjois)

     

    ? The Judge’s hot chest

    Judge Rinder, who usually spends his TV time covered head to toe in his courtroom robes wowed fans with his surprisingly ripped torso. He also wowed the judges in his first dance of the competition on Strictly. We didn’t mind.

     

    ? Hollywood’s Homophobia

    Ira Sachs surprised us by talking about homophobia in Hollywood – the worst of it is that gay men are apparently the culprits.

     

    ? Not following the breadcrumbs

    Mary Berry shocked the internet when she announced that she wasn’t following Bake Off to it’s new home on Channel 4, leaving people to suspect that Channel 4 has basically bought a £75 million tent and Paul Hollywood.

     

    ? Out got Ousted.

    The decision to profile Milo Yiannopoulos got the internet sort of mad. Flames and fury were aimed at US magazine Out, who even added an editorial to basically say … “He’s not us…”

     

    ? Ever wondered what a Vajazzle would look like on a guy?

    Now you don’t have to wonder anymore – it’s actually called a PeJazzle and X Factor’s Ottavio was more than happy to share his with the world.

     

    ? The internet melted when it thought that Robert Pattinson had come out as gay…

    A spoof news site told the world that Twilight star Robert Pattinson had come out as gay and the ensuing dramz that followed was like the world was coming to an end. Not really. Most commentators seemed to say, “I knew it!”.  BTW he didn’t come out it was a “hilarious” ruse.

    Ever wondered what a Vajazzle looks like on a guy? Ottavio Columbro wants to show you…

    Have you ever wondered what the male vajazzle might look like?  No nor us, but X Factor’s Ottavio Columbro has gone and got one done anyway.

    The Pejazzle, the male version of the Vajazzle can be seen in all its glory on tonight’s Body Fixers on Channel 4’s E4,  as X Factor‘s Ottavio – yes one half of X Factor’s campest act ever Ottavio and Bradley (remember Chickengate?) has decided to get a full de-hairing and have crystals glued to his pubic area.

    Well apparently Ottavio’s body hair is holding him back and he wants it off – and a pejazzle to replace it.

    Before stripping off for E4’s Body Fixers, Ottavio revealed “My body hair is out of control. It’s everywhere. And because I am Italian it is thick and dark and it’s too much hair for me.”

    He then braved a full body wax and then opts for a bit of body embellishment in the form of a Pejazzle, where an artistic design, in crystals or other gems is glued to the pubic area of the body.

    Before having his manly body rug waxed off, he said that he wanted to be so smooth that “men would slide off” him.

    Body Fixers airs on Tuesday nights at 9pm on E4.
