Josh Peck speaks out for FIRST TIME on feud with Drake & Josh castmate Drake Bell

Josh Peck has spoken out for the first time on his longtime feud with former Drake & Josh co-star Drake Bell. On Wednesday, the 35-year-old actor appeared on Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards' BFFs podcast and was asked whether the two were still friends. "Not really. No," Josh replied with a laugh.

Drake, 35, and Josh played stepbrothers on the hit Nickelodeon show that ran from 2004 to 2007. However, they became engaged in highly publicised spat when Josh did not invite Drake to his 2017 wedding.

Taking to Twitter after the ceremony, Drake wrote: "When you're not invited to the wedding the message is clear... True colors have come out today. Message is loud and clear. Ties are officially cut. I'll miss you brotha."

In a separate Tweet, he wrote, "Loyalty is key. ALWAYS remember where you came from."

Until his appearance on Wednesday, Josh had never publicly addressed Drake's tweets, which the Superhero star later deleted.

"I didn't invite him to my wedding and the internet went crazy," Josh said. The New York native shared the backstory of his nuptials to his wife Paige O'Brien, noting that he married a "good Irish-Catholic girl" and they had a "small wedding". 

He continued, "The dirty little secret, I guess, was like, I knew that Drake and I didn't stay in touch for the 10 years since we made the show."

"But no one needed to know that," Josh added. "I was happy to just die with that secret that like, we made this thing that people really love, but maybe we weren't that close. So I didn't invite him to my wedding because I hadn't really talking to him in many, many years."
