Bradley Hunt starred in the 2016 series of The X Factor as one-half of the ultra camp Bratavio group which was mentored by Louis Walsh. They were eliminated in the first episode and therefore missed out on the opportunity of performing on the X Factor tour. The duo attracted a lot of negative and homophobic comments on social media during their onscreen time.

    X Factor’s Bradley shares horrific story of homophobic attack

    Former X Factor singer Bradley Hunt has shared a horrific story and pictures from a homophobic attack he sustained while dancing to Britney Spears in a nightclub.

    Bradley Hunt has hit out at homophobes by sharing horrific pictures from a homophobic attack at a nightclub from a man who took issue with the way he was dancing to Britney Spear’s ‘Toxic’.

    The star spoke about he was left with a black eye and a missing tooth after the vicious attack from a man he said took offence to the way Bradley was dancing.

    The reality star said, “I was dancing in Pop World to Britney Spears, I was flicking my neck, doing my dance moves and this guy came up to me. He said, ‘Can you stop dancing like that?’

    “Now I think he was trying to show off to some girls, something like that, and I’m thinking, ‘babes, the girls are loving my dancing. Like, they ain’t bothered at you trying to put me down, you ain’t gonna get a girl that way. Just saying’.

    “Anyway, I said to him, ‘don’t tell me what to do’, and I thought, you don’t tell somebody what to do, especially in a club – it’s Pop World! You don’t tell someone to stop dancing like that, I’m sorry, if you don’t like it, go somewhere else.

    “The pain absolutely killed”

    “Then came the smash right into the nose, then two of his mates on either side ricocheting, punching, thumping me, I’ve never been hit before and the pain absolutely killed.”

    Getting emotional, he continued “I had an instant headache and I absolutely panicked, I was screaming. I ran to the bar crying, I can feel one of teeth half of it in my hands, blood. I jumped over the bar because I was so scared, ran down to the beer cellar and was on the floor in tears, panicking. Obviously, I was drunk and it just came as a shock to me.

    Arrested

    “I called the police, they came and actually managed to find one of them around the corner and arrested him. And he stayed in the cell for a night but other than that nothing really happened. I did a statement at the police station but what can you do?”

    He added, “Homophobia’s still here. With me, some people recognise me so there’s a level of, they can say a joke, the can stare, they can laugh, that’s fine. I’ve been on the TV, I was the joke act, you can laugh and stare. But when people say ‘batty boy’, ‘queer’ or anything like that, or try and intimidate me, Nah. I don’t tolerate it.”

    “Novelty” X Factor star Bradley Hunt stuns with Leona Lewis cover

    You may remember Bradley as part of the Duo Bratavio… Well he’s back and proving that he can really sing

    Singing Leona Lewis’s “Run” is a challenge for even the most accomplished singer, but former Bratavio singer, Bradley Hunt seems to make light work of the epic ballad, in his latest YouTube video.

    His fans were quick to agree that the singer had come along way since his time on X Factor in 2016. When the duo first appeared on the scene in 2016 they caused controversy for judge Louis Walsh, who was bombarded with homophobic comments when he put them through to the live shows, with many dismissing the group as a “novelty act”.

    BRADLEY HUNT: Giving it his all on Leona Lewis’ hit “Run” which reached number 1 with in 2008.

    In 2017 the pair who were as famous for their costumes as their epic public fall outs, said that they actually recieved the most homophobia from inside the gay communty.

    Speaking on Simon Gross‘s YouTube The Showbiz Show in 2017, the singing duo, revealed the negativity they’ve recieved from the gay community since they left the show.

    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.

    However, since leaving the competition, Bradley hasn’t left music completely, in 2017 he released his rather catchy debut solo single, “Side Dish” which he was forced to clarify was not a dis song against his former partner, Ottavio Columbo.

    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.

    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.

    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”.

    The former X Factor finalist, Bradley (one-half of the “chickengate” Bratavio) is serving up some naked realness on his Instagram account. We’ve already seen that Bradley has an incredible bod, but now he’s getting a little more naked with his pictures. Well giving the illusion anyway.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/BOAs8sKgoot/?taken-by=bradleyhuntuk

    Bradley recently sparked concern for his well-being after announcing that he was having a “breakdown” earlier in November when he arrived for a filming date in London looking tired and complaining that he was “on less than top form”.

     

    [mailmunch-form id=”358872″]

    To clarify a spokesperson for the star told the Daily Star Online: “The paparazzi asked him how he was and he jokingly replied he was having a breakdown – he is absolutely fine.”

    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.

    Bradley isn’t the only X Factor contestant who has been working on his muscles. Ray Quinn, who was in the seventh series of the show is hardly recognisable after shedding weight and honing his muscles.
