X Factor star Olly Murs has revealed that he will have to miss his twin brother’s wedding this Saturday, because it clashes with the show’s dress rehearsal.

Olly was due to be the Best Man at the wedding and had hoped that show bosses would allow him some time off that afternoon. However Simon Cowell refused, saying that missing the dress rehearsal would affect Olly’s chances of making it to the final, obviously the sympathy vote on Saturday night won’t hurt his chances either.

A pal told The Mirror: “Olly can’t believe they couldn’t come to some sort of arrangement.

“He was hoping Simon could have organised a taxi motorbike to take him to the ceremony and rush him back.”
