Olly Murs has revealed he is engaged to girlfriend Amelia Tank, after popping the question on a romantic beach holiday.

The 37-year-old X Factor star, who has been dating bodybuilder Amelia since 2019, took to Instagram to share the happy news.

He captioned the sweet picture of the pair hugging with Saturday’s date, Amelia’s name and a ring emoji.

Amelia meanwhile, shared a clip to her own feed, as she jumped into his arms and kissed.

Earlier this year, Olly declared Amelia ‘The One’ after they took a romantic break to Morocco, saying he knew she is the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

Fans and friends rushed to the comments to share their congratulations, with singer Marvin Humes writing: ‘Amazing news mate! Congrats to you both x’ and TV personality Vicky Pattinson sharing: ‘Omg guys!!!!! Yessss!!!!! Congratulations man.’

At the time, Olly told New magazine (via OK!): ‘We both definitely knew. After two or three days, me and Amelia looked at each other and said, “yeah, this is kind of it now, isn’t it?” We both told each other that we loved each other.’

He added:  ‘When we came back from that trip, Amelia said, “I knew straight away that you were who I was going to spend the rest of my life with”, and I said the same.’

He also revealed that Amelia had said that the holiday would ‘make or break’ the couple, and luckily it went swimmingly.

The singer also revealed that he thought settling down was a ‘big thing’ and that he ‘fought against’ finding love for a long time before Amelia came into his life.

In April 2020, the loved-up couple took their romance to the next level by moving in with one another, months after Olly had made their relationship Instagram official.

And in July 2021, he defended his girlfriend from trolls who said she was ‘too manly’.
