Olly Murs shows off his ripped new look as he hints seventh studio album is on its way

Olly Murs has showed off his ripped new look while hinting that the release of his seventh studio is imminent.

The 38-year old wowed his 4.1 million Instagram followers with a short video in which he appeared topless, screaming as he flexed his muscle-bound chest.

The star, who finished runner-up to Joe McElderry in the 2009 series of The X Factor, hasn't released any new material since 2018's 'You Know I Know'.

Appearing in just a pair of blue Nike shorts and yellow trainers Olly roared as Alien Species' 'Pride in the Saiyan I am, the mighty prince of the ultimate warrior race!' blared out in the background.

He captioned his post: "Am ready and pumped for what's coming #OM7" - with the '7' referring to the seventh record of his career.

Fans and celebrities alike were clearly delighted by the news and in awe of Olly's body, with former Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison declaring: "F***ing hell mate! You look class! Well done."

Rak-Su's Ashley Tebi added: "Mate you are in amazing shape!"

TV personality Mark Wright, meanwhile, simply said: "Some shape kid."

An excited fan commented: "Can’t wait to hear your new music and new album Olly. You look really good Olly. Well done hope you really liked my Olly Murs diamond painting I did of you. I am a biggest fan of yours Olly and I will always support you in your music Olly."

Olly's muscles are likely to be the result of help from his bodybuilder fiancée Amelia Tank - although some fans suggested the look might have been a great use of Photoshop.

Dance With Me Tonight singer Olly got down on one knee and popped the question while the pair were enjoyed a romantic getaway in June.

It came after he shared how he knew Amelia was 'the one' for him after a 'make or break' trip to Morocco.

The singer said the pair knew 'straight away' that they were going to 'spend the rest of their life together'.

Speaking to New magazine, Olly said how the pressure was on for the couple ahead of their first trip away together.

They met in a gym and started off as just friends, but after the star had an operation on his knee the pair got talking again and a flame was sparked.

He added: "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," the TV presenter gushed.
