17-year-old twins Josh and Kyle Brooks were suspended from Saturday's (08.10.16) live show while 'X Factor' bosses investigated claims Josh had physically assaulted his former girlfriend and the Sun Online reports that they have now been completely dropped from the show.

A source told the website: "The boys were in bits during the 90-minute meeting and completely broke down in tears.

"Show bosses went really hard saying they can't tolerate that behaviour and they're not welcome back at the studios."

And it has been claimed the pair were furious after they were told of their suspension on Saturday.

A source told the Daily Star: "The boys punched a wall and lashed out. They were so annoyed, this is their big chance of stardom.

"Their gran also claimed 'X Factor' were in the wrong. She even tried to get them to put Kyle as a solo artist if Josh was being axed."

However, Brooks Way took to their Twitter account on Sunday (09.10.16) to slam the "false allegations" against Josh and insisted that both he and his ex, Amelia Clarke, 18, would speak out soon.

They wrote: "Today, we have had a tough day with a false allegation. Don't believe everything you read, both Amelia and Josh will be stating the truth.

"The truth always wins."

They did not mention 'X Factor' in the message.

But during an interview with Rylan Clark and Matt Edmondson on 'Xtra Factor' on Sunday, boyband 5 After Midnight appeared to confirm they had been given the axe.

Referring to Bratavio getting eliminated, they said they had "lost another group" and added: "Remember they are our group, they are in our category. We've lost another group."

The groups category is being mentored by Louis Walsh.
