Olly Murs dons wedding veil as mates surprise him with boozy stag

Groom-to-be Olly Murs threw on a wedding veil as he enjoyed a boozy stag do with his friends hours after his gig in Belfast.

With his wedding to bodybuilder girlfriend Amelia Tank weeks away, the singer let his hair down - and then kept it in check with the silky white addition.

He partied away following his performance at Botanic Gardens, as part of his Marry Me tour.

The former X-Factor star and his group knew there was only one place to be - a bar named Ollies in Northern Ireland's capital.

Sporting a T-shirt reading "Sorry ladies this guy is getting married," Olly and his friends later changed into 'Straight Outta Essex' tops.

With his wedding getting closer, early morning kebabs were off the menu.

He told fans: "What a night, in bed after the gig and the lads surprising me with a night out in Belfast. Loved it! Pretty drunk now! But time for a ham and cheese toastie."

Model Amelia and Olly got engaged back in July and during a recent appearance on Lorraine he told said that it has been a long time coming.

He confessed: "Amelia has been planning our wedding day for years - what dress she's going to do and all that.

"For me, proposing was something I'd thought about for ages. 'I wonder who that woman's going to be, I wonder when it's going to be and when I'm going to do it'.

He popped the question on a romantic beach break last year.

Bride-to-be Amelia, 31, shared a sweet video of the moment on her feed and is seen jumping into her fiancé's arms before giving him a kiss.

Unsurprisingly, the adorable social media clip caught the attention of her 14,800 followers.

Olly and Amelia have been dating since 2019 and the My Heart Skips A Beat hitmaker revealed that a two week trip to Morocco sealed the deal.

He told New magazine all about when they fell in love, saying: "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.

"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."

Olly has opened up about deciding to get in shape after being inspired by Amelia - and of course their big day!

He said: "I've never had a body like this in my life.

"Amelia really inspired me to make my body the best it can be. We'd get up in the morning, do a HIIT [high-intensity interval training] session and go for runs together.

"I enjoyed pushing myself, fighting the devil on my shoulder telling me to get in my car and drive to McDonald's."
