Since his exit, Bradley has revealed that he in fact predicted the dumping.
He told MailOnline’s podcast The Sidebar: “I don’t know if this got shown, but basically that morning, Wednesday morning, me and David were in the garden and I was like: ‘There’s not going to be six of us on Friday. I’ll tell you that they’re voting right now.'”
