X Factor’s Bradley tells of horror nightclub attack but jokes that punch pushed his nose back into place
Singer lost a tooth in the assault
X FACTOR's Bradley, from duo Ottavio and Bradley, has spoken out about being attacked at a bar.
The singer was set upon by three men as he danced on a pole to Britney Spears.
Speaking to The 'Sun Online Bradley Hunt revealed: "I was on a pole upside down and dancing. These three guys said to me ‘can you stop dancing like that’.
"I think it was because they were trying to pull the girls who were loving me doing what I was doing. They thought by insulting me that the girls would like them.
Bradley told them "I will dance how I want to", and the men punched him in the face.
He continued: "I ran down the back of the cellar and my tooth was in my hand. The guys were arrested but they pleaded self defence, which I thought was quite funny."
Joking: "One positive thing can say about the punch – is that when they hit my nose, they pushed it back into place. It was a like a free nose job. I never got it checked out."
Despite being able to laugh about the incident now, Bradley admitted that at the time it knocked his confidence and he tamed his ways... for a while.
But he and pal Ottavio are their at flamboyant best having just been selected to be one of Louis' finalists in The X Factor, along with The Brooks and 5am.
Despite Ottavio pushing Bradley into a pool, ultimately baffling Louis and sending Fleur East and Alesha Dixon into hysterics, the pair have nabbed a place in the live shows.
The pair’s flamboyant rendition of Christina Aguilera’s Candyman appeared to be enough for the judge to give them a ticket into the live finals.
Viewers have in the past accused the contestants' fallout over under-cooked chicken in their first audition of being fake so they could get publicity.
They were warned to tone down their wild ways following reports of boozing and sex romps at boot camp.
