So I think we both had questions; we both wanted closure in that sort of sense.

"A lot of our lives was with each other. So we remained in contact, but I definitely don't have a boyfriend. He's moved on with someone else. Just to clear that up, we broke up in January."

While Harriett hasn't confirmed who he brother is, she has opened up about the clip, telling the Mail Online: "The video was so many years ago if it's the one I'm thinking of… there's not anything to say about that story.

"If you have seen it, you can see all I'm trying to do is defuse the situation, it was actually one of my really good friends, who is in the public eye, he's a football player, and my brother, and these fans… people were antagonising him, we were just trying to enjoy our night and I didn't think it was fair people were putting cameras in his face.

"I was just trying to mediate the situation and get them away from him."
