During his exit interview with host Will Best, Bradley opened up about his close friendship with TV presenter Fern Britton.
He also addressed the bizarre feud between Nikita Kuzmin and Fern and that very uncomfortable row they had over a striped jumper.
Will asked: "It was interesting because you were probably Fern's best friend in there but she didn't really gel with another one of your close friends - Nikita - did you feel you were ever caught in the middle of that?
"How pronounced was there clash?"

Bradley said: "I feel like I was oblivious to this thing going on.
"It was only when we were eating the cupcakes - me, Nikita and David - and we found out Nikita voted for her three times.
"There had only been three nominations, it was a bit of an eye-opener.
"And that really awkward moment where she brought up something he said and I just wanted the world to eat me up."

Will replied: "That might have been the most awkward moment in the entire series," to which Bradley echoed: "It was very awkward, yeah."
Will then asked if Bradley attempted to heal the rift between Fern and Nikita during his time in the house.

But the actor explained: "I feel like they're both adults and they have their own time to work out their differences and work out why that dispute happened.
"And I think that's what happened."
It comes after Nikita and Fern had an awkward encounter earlier this week.
Fern asked Nikita: “You and I get on alright when we’re playing games. Can I tell you? How old are you now?”
Nikita told her he was 26, to which she replied: "When you’re 66, you’ll have exactly the same brain, which is why you have to understand that I’ve still got a 26-year-old brain.”
Nikita was very confused by her comments, and asked if they had beef, and Fern told him: “You shouldn’t be confused. You never change your brain.
“Everything is hilarious - all bum jokes, all c**k jokes. Everything is still as it is when you’re 66.”
She later explained that it was a comment he made about her outfit choice that upset her.
“When you said to me the other day, you were very sweet. ‘I like your stripy top. Stripes are in fashion, Fern.’ Bless you, you were passing me a compliment but also saying ‘actually they’re in fashion’ as if it was a surprise to me. It wasn’t a surprise.”

However Nikita made it clear that he was only trying to compliment her.
Fern appeared to be left hurt last week when she found out that Nikita had consistently voted for during the nominations.
