The X Factor contestants Bradley and Ottavio have reportedly claimed that they were voted off Channel 4's Coach Trip because the other contestants conspired against them.
After making it to the Judges Houses stage of The X Factor, the boys apparently opened up about their Coach Trip experience, in 2014, at Louis Walsh's villa in Ibiza (via the Sun).
"Bradley found out that one of the contestants had a WhatsApp group and all the other couples were in it apart from me and Bradley," Ottavio explained.
"Bradley caught one of them having a conversation and they said, 'Let's get those two gays out. Let's get the gays out next'.
"I kicked off with the producer. I said, 'Get the series producer right now'. At the end of the day it is cheating. Everyone got a yellow card."
Digital Spy has reached out to Channel 4 for comment, and a spokesperson for the show told us: "Coach Trip treats allegations of bullying and discrimination very seriously, and the production team feel there was no evidence to support allegations of any such behaviour at the time of filming."

According to The Sun, Coach Trip host Brendan Sheerin berated the other couples for their behaviour, but Bradley and Ottavio were still voted off the show after another round of votes.
"The last coach vote I got called horrible names. They compared me to the devil," Ottavio added. "They were like 'You're going nowhere, love'. We have not kept in touch with any of them."
Looks like Bradley and Ottavio have had the last laugh though, as they've already partied in hot tubs during Boot Camp and are now out in Ibiza trying to win Louis over (while making full use of his luxury swimming pool).
