In this weekend's edition of The Voice UK, on which Olly is a judge, he opens up about his relationship with his brother to Sir Tom Jones, and ends up breaking down over his heartbreak.

When Tom asks about the 35-year-old's sibling, Olly responds, “We had a big argument.

“I feel like the next time I’m going to see him is when we lose somebody close in our family, and I don’t want that to be the case.

“I’ve got no idea where he lives.”

The twins famously fell out back in 2009 when Olly was a contestant on The X Factor, and ended up having to miss Ben's wedding because he was performing in the semi-final.

Olly, who seems to have not been forgiven by Ben then said to his fellow judges, will.i.am and Meghan Trainor, “It’s a shame — even more so for my mum.

“And I do miss having my twin with me. We had these two different personalities but we just had this bond."

“It brings back memories when I see twins. When we were kids we used to sing all the time.”

Olly's emotional admission came after he watched a set of twins perform on the ITV entertainment show.

However, Sir Tom was there to offer him guidance and support. Having listened to Olly's story, he then says, “I understand what you’re feeling, but you will do it — you’ll get back together.”

Olly replies, “Yeah. I hope we can.”
