He\u2019s only been married for two months, but Olly Murs has exclusively revealed that he\u2019s already got babies on the brain. <\/p>\n

The Troublemaker singer, 39, tied the knot with bodybuilder Amelia Tank, 31, in a gorgeous ceremony on Osea Island in Essex. And it sounds like we\u2019ll be hearing the patter of tiny feet sooner rather than later. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sure I\u2019m going to go for six kids, but of course I\u2019d love to have children,\u201d he told us at the recent National Television Awards.<\/p>\n

The couple, who met at the gym in 2019, threw a three-day wedding event on the exclusive island \u2013 which they reportedly hired for more than \u00a335,000 per night \u2013 complete with fairground rides and a music festival. <\/p>\n

\u201cMarried life has been lovely,\u201d Olly says. \u201cI haven\u2019t been around much, really, because I\u2019ve been touring, so it\u2019s nice to be home."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cI ended the tour in Plymouth, so I had a chance to see Amelia and her family [who are from there]. I said to my team I wanted to end the tour there because the album was about her and this year\u2019s been about us and our marriage, so let\u2019s finish it there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Olly\u2019s been a busy boy of late. As well as his tour, he recently performed at Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan\u2019s \u2018Marchella\u2019 housewarming extravaganza, which celebrated the couple finally moving into their \u00a33.5 million Essex mansion. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Voice UK judge says pal Mark, who was a guest at the wedding, used his Essex charm to persuade him to perform \u2013 despite the glam event clashing with a gig. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a cheeky little bugger because basically I was on tour and he said, \u2018Murs, mate, you know I love you, you\u2019re my brother, and I know you\u2019ve got a show that night, but is there any chance you can come to my house and do a gig for me?\u2019\u201d Olly says. \u201cAnd Michelle said, \u2018We\u2019d love you to come.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I literally jumped on my tour bus and we drove to his house in Essex and then I had to go from there to Plymouth overnight \u2013 honestly!\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Other performers at the bash included comedian Russell Kane and Mark\u2019s sister Jess Wright, who delivered a stellar version of her dance track Dance All Night \u2013 not that Mark is likely to remember, Olly jokes. <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t even think he remembers me being there,\u201d he says. \u201cAsk him, \u2018Did Olly Murs do a gig at your house?\u2019 because he won\u2019t remember.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone was so drunk and, to be fair, I actually told him, the great thing about doing a gig at midnight is no one will remember in the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aside from the hectic tour schedule, Olly says the best thing about his life right now is being a married man. \u201cI can\u2019t describe it, but when you meet the right one and you\u2019re in love and you get married and you have that special day together \u2013 you become one,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel really happy. Without sounding cheesy, it\u2019s just lovely and special.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite being in a love bubble, there\u2019s one particular part he\u2019s not impressed with \u2013 and that\u2019s having to wear his wedding ring.<\/p>\n

\u201cI keep touching it,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019ve never worn jewellery in my life, so it\u2019s really hard for me. I\u2019ve never worn watches or anything \u2013 I just don\u2019t like jewellery on me \u2013 but the ring is really important. I was very excited about having it, but it feels a bit odd at times.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2024 will mark 15 years since Olly shot to fame on The X Factor. Despite finishing as runner-up, he\u2019s gone on to become one of the country\u2019s most successful male solo artists and now uses his experience in the music industry to help coach the next round of hopefuls on The Voice UK, in the same way Simon Cowell \u2013 who he describes as a \u201cgenius\u201d \u2013 mentored him. <\/p>\n

Simon, 63, spoke recently about his battles with depression and how therapy had a \u201csuper positive effect\u201d on him and it\u2019s something Olly relates to.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great that someone like Simon is speaking about it,\u201d says Olly. \u201cHe\u2019s someone I\u2019ve always looked up to because of what he\u2019s done and what he\u2019s achieved. Therapy is so important. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s something anyone should shy away from.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wise words indeed, Olly.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
