Olly Marmon – the fiancé of X Factor star James ‘Jaymi’ Hensley – has tragically fallen to his death from a hotel window, aged 33.

Emergency services rushed to the 17th century Hind Hotel in Wellingborough, Northants., after the victim plunged from a window at 11.30pm on Sunday.

Despite the efforts of police officers and paramedics, he was pronounced dead at the scene at 12.30am yesterday.

Hensley who reached the semi-finals of the X Factor with the band Union J in 2012, had been in a relationship with hairstylist Marmon, for over 14 years.

A 34-year-old man from Rushden, Northants has been arrested on suspicion of murder and he remains in custody being quizzed by detectives.

Detective Chief Inspector Johnny Campbell, of the East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU) Major Crime team, who is leading the murder investigation, said: ‘Although an arrest has been made, we would still like to appeal for anyone who may have witnessed this incident, in particularly anyone who was driving past the hotel and may have captured the incident on dash-com footage.

‘We would also like to hear from anyone who was walking in Sheep Street or any businesses in the local vicinity with CCTV footage, and who have yet to come forward, to please do so as a matter of urgency.

‘This is a complex and fast-moving investigation, and our team will be working around the clock to establish the full circumstances behind this man’s death.’

A forensic postmortem examination to establish a cause of death will take place at Leicester Royal Infirmary in due course.

Marmon’s mum Julie paid tribute: ‘Words cannot express the devastation and heartbreak I feel over the loss of my beautiful youngest son Oliver, Olly to his friends.

‘I can’t believe I am having to write this. No mother should have to do this.

‘The relationship I had with Oliver was so special, he was my best friend. We spoke every single day. He called me mummy, he used to call me his guardian angel.’

She continued: ‘Oliver was so caring, loving, quiet and always put others before himself. He was a very talented hairdresser, and it was a passion he took seriously.

‘More recently he had been working with his stepdad Steve gardening and loved it so much. He was spiritual and loved the outdoors.

‘He touched many lives and everyone he met fell in love with him. Steve referred to Oliver as his son.

‘I will miss my little Oliver so much and don’t know how I will go on without him. Such a devastating loss to all our family including his brothers Ben and James and sister Alex, as well as his Auntie Loraine, Uncle Simon and cousin Sophie.’

Specially trained family liaison officers from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit Major Crime Team are supporting Marmon’s family.

Marmon’s dad Leigh and stepmum Vanessa Marmon said: ‘My darling Oliver, I cannot believe that I am writing this. I would give my life to have saved yours. 

‘I am struggling with every emotion you can think of, grief, anger, guilt, the list goes on.

‘I know that you knew how much you were loved. I was so proud of you and everything you achieved. You have been to places that I can only dream of. 

‘Whatever you put your mind to, you achieved. When you were younger you were a talented sportsperson, musician and of course, hairdresser – your dream job. You won medals and awards in gymnastics and hairdressing.

‘Your life was too short, but you squeezed so much into it. You were so kind-hearted, a gentle soul who was just so beautiful inside and out.’

His brother Ben said: ‘Oliver Marmon you are my little ray of sunshine. You are my best friend. You radiate joy and excitement to all around you.

‘You are full of creativity and spontaneous ideas for fun. You are the light of happiness in every room. You are so kind and caring and happy to walk in anyone’s shadow as long as everyone else is smiling.

‘You are the bravest soul and no matter how much you felt different you were always so loved by everyone. Never underestimate the difference you made and the lives you touched.

‘I didn’t tell you enough, but I was immensely proud of you. Always my best friend and my little Bruva bear.’
