Olly Murs is in the "best shape of [his] life"
The 40-year-old pop star has admitted to being like an "excited little puppy" in the early years of his career, but Olly is now feeling happier and healthier than ever, as he prepares for his upcoming tour of the UK and Ireland
10 April 2025
Speaking about his tour preparations, Olly - who released his self-titled debut studio album back in 2010 - told the BBC: "It's a bit mental really, there's a lot of strain so I'm just building the muscles and figuring out what I'm going to say, what I'm going to do.
"I care so much about how it looks, how the fans will perceive it and what the set's going to be like and I just want it to be great for everyone."
Olly feels he's actually become much calmer and more relaxed in recent years.
The 'Heart Skips a Beat' hitmaker explained: "When I watch old videos of me, I was just like an excited little puppy.
"I was new to the industry and I couldn't believe the response I was getting.
"Over the years you become more experienced, calmer, and you realise you need to relax.
"I do feel like I'm in the best shape of my life at the moment. I really hope when fans see me on this tour they'll be surprised and be like 'wow, Olly is really looking good.'"
Despite this, Olly still expects to feel anxious before he takes to the stage.
The singer - who starred on the UK version of 'The X Factor' in 2009, when he finished as the runner-up - said: "That makes me realise that when the day comes that I'm not nervous to go out at The O2, maybe it's time for me to retire."
Olly married fitness model Amelia Tank in 2023.
And the pop star previously confessed that he was a "commitment phobe" before he met Amelia.
During an appearance on 'The Joe Wicks Podcast', Olly explained: "I did that typical man thing and went, 'I can't commit, I'm not ready'. I called it off, and then I rekindled the relationship on tour.
"I'm so happy I did. When you know, you know."
