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?"
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."
