Olly Murs has activated “beast mode” as he took to social media to reveal a very dramatic transformation. The pop singer, who is due to go on tour later this week, has been busy in the gym, putting himself through the paces before taking to the stage.
The musician has also undergone a dramatic diet transformation as he prepares to perform to sold-out audiences for two hours each night in various cities. It comes just days after the Dear Darling hitmaker announced that his wife Amelia, 32, was pregnant with their second child.
But it was Olly’s latest social media post which had fans and even his celebrity pals feeling flustered as he shared a video documenting his transformation and the graft he put in at the gym. In the video, which has been liked over 12,500 times, the cheeky chap, 40, looked ripped as he stepped foot in a boxing ring.
The clip showed Olly carrying out a variety of exercises, including sparring and weight lifting as he ramped up the amount of weight he was lifting on the dumbbells. “I’m ready,” he said in the clip. Olly had been training with former Team GB boxer, Harvey Horn who he also tagged in the clip.
Olly’s dramatic 12 week transformation has seen him become “super disciplined in every aspect of his life”. Captioning his post, Olly wrote: “Tour starts Thursday… I’m pumped,” alongside a tensed bicep emoji and a face pulling a tongue. The comment section of his uploaded was soon flooded with compliments.
“Beast mode activated,” gushed Rak Su singer Myles Stephenson. Olly’s wife Amelia wrote: “You’ve hit a new kinda level and worked your absolute a**e off to get there! So proud of you. Does this mean we get to eat the same dinners again now?” “Right. I’m going gym,” joked Mark Wright.
One fan gushed: “Looking fit is. Can’t wait to see you in Brighton on Saturday.” A second penned: “OMG Olly you look incredible.” “Looking ripped Mr Murs! So excited to see you twice in May,” said another. Last year, Olly opened up about his fitness and told fans that he had spent 18 months learning the basics of boxing.
“It’s been a hard slog, so f**it, I’m posting it, learning to box from scratch is hard work,” he said. Last week, Olly joked it had :been a week” following the revelation that his family was growing. Speaking to pal Mark on their Heart FM radio show, he said: “You know you have those weeks where you just can’t tell anyone? And it’s been really exciting news for us both, a shock, we didn’t expect it to happen this quick, but amazing!”
Sharing the news, Olly took to social media to share a black and white video of himself, Amelia and their daughter Madison, one, walking alongside a path. As he lifted his daughter and put her on his shoulders, the words “Big Sis” could be seen on the back of her top.
“We’re so egg-cited to share this..… Another Baby Murs on the way,” he wrote. To confirm the news, Amelia revealed a set of baby scans. The announcement came just days after the couple had celebrated Madison’s first birthday. To mark the occasion, they posted a series of heartwarming photos of the big day.
They first announced baby Madison’s birth on April 16, 2024 after revealing they were set to become parents back in December 2023, just five months after the couple tied the knot on July 15, 2023.
