The pair fell out in 2009 when Olly was unable to attend his brother’s wedding due to commitments that he had with X Factor.
Ben went on to fall out with his parents as well as his brother.
Olly told the Mirror: “I did text him this year and wished him a happy birthday.
“I felt it was the right time to reach out and try to ignite some kind of conversation. But it was the wrong phone number.
“It’s difficult, it’s sad and it always has been a touchy subject for me because it’s not just me and him, there are a lot of other people involved, [like] my mum.”
He went on to reveal that he hoped that he would see his brother again “one day”.
Olly’s brother Ben changed his last name to Hart after marrying his wife as a way of distancing himself from his family.
Ben said in an interview last year: “I was very close to my parents but fame and greed changed everything.”
He went on to claim his parents enjoyed the fame that came with Olly's success on the X Factor, while he wasn't interested in the glitzy parties and famous faces.
"I can’t believe what my mum did by talking about my childhood. I was so upset when I read it," he added.
"Why has my mum, the person who should defend me, said things that are hurtful and untrue?"
Vickylynn, 55, claimed she was left ill over the family feud last week, and insisted Ben had "disowned" the family.
Speaking to the Sunday Times Magazine, she said: “It was such a shock it made me ill. I even thought I had MS – I had to use a walking stick because my legs were so weak. I also couldn’t work. I was on the verge of a breakdown.
“I’m much better now but my heart is broken.
"Ben’s broken my heart, and his dad’s, but I will not hear anything against him, I don’t think he understands what he’s done. I’ll go on loving him and sticking up for him until I die.”
While Olly added: “I don’t speak to my twin brother and that’s been extremely difficult. Long before X Factor there were problems between Ben and his girlfriend and our family.
“He made the decision not to speak to the family… but the door’s always open for him to come back.”
Sun Online previously revealed that Jessica Wright was spotted "cosying up" to Olly at the launch of his new album after splitting with Giovanni Pernice.
