Can't forget bluetooth devices in iOS 8 (greyed out)

I upgraded my iPhone 5 and iPad Air to iOS 8.

For both devices I've noticed that they appear twice under paired Bluetooth devices - ie. The iPad appears twice in the iPhone's bluetooth devices list and vice versa. In both cases I can only remove one of the duplicates using the forget this device option under 'I'. The other device has forget... greyed out.

ive tried resetting the network settings but this made no difference.

Does anyone know of a solution?

I Has same issue. Couldn't remove previously paired devices and car wouldn't connect. Log out of iCloud and turn off all wi fi Bluetooth. Turn off. Etc. when you turn on you should be able to remove some of the devices and start from scratch. Don't go back into iCloud till all working.

Well, I logged out of iCloud and then I was able to delete the device from my list. Now, I can't get it to show up again even though it shows up on other Bluetooth enabled devices. Oddly enough, my phone seems able to see other devices but not the one I'm now trying to add. Ugh!
