The singer was in good spirits during the show but fans were quick to turn on him after he made a surprise admission while on stage in Liverpool on Thursday evening Olly Murs found himself on the receiving end of boos during a packed concert after making an awkward confession. Even those with limited knowledge of sport could predict he was walking into a bit of a hornet's nest - but it wasn't going to stop him. The pop star decided to reveal his true feelings about a topic dear to him in front of a Liverpool audience, and their reaction was predictable. The Liverpool Echo reported that he had the crowd 'wrapped around his finger' as he brought his 15 Years Of Hits tour to the city's MandS Bank Arena on Thursday. Thousands of fans filled the venue for the show, which is part of his latest nationwide tour. Ryan Paton, reporting for the Echo, said the X Factor singer "made sure the show felt unique to those there on the night, with enjoyable interactions with the crowd in between his back catalogue of songs." Fans of pop music know Olly as a cheeky chap who enjoys having a laugh with his audience - which led to the moment in question. Olly allowed a long-standing band member to "embarrass" him on stage by sharing a photo from his career. Olly informed the crowd: "On this part of the show, I have absolutely no idea what is about to appear on that screen.", reports Wales Online. The chosen photo showed him touching the This Is Anfield sign at Liverpool FC's home ground. Olly laughed, probably anticipating what was coming next. As the image appeared on a large screen, it divided the audience. Liverpool supporters cheered loudly, but Everton fans in the crowd booed. Olly Murs then faced a playful backlash from the audience when he revealed his football allegiance, saying: "Of course, this will probably get the biggest boo of the night. I am a Manchester United fan." The singer couldn't help but laugh as the crowd responded with jeers, prompting him to quip: "Shall I go?" Despite the ribbing, Olly is well-known for his devotion to Manchester United, and the concert carried on with the crowd enjoying his chart-topping tunes. He also shared that he had just celebrated his 41st birthday on Wednesday by performing a medley of 80s classics, honouring the era of his birth. A poignant moment occurred during the gig when Olly performed 'Dear Darling' in tribute to his late X Factor co-host Caroline Flack. He expressed to the audience: "I genuinely think about her every day. "I know that feeling of losing someone that you love very much. With this song, I want you to think of those people and sing with me." In a touching scene, fans lit up their phones and joined in singing, creating what Ryan at The Echo described as "the standout moment of the evening".

Olly Murs stuns fans as he shows off dramatic body transformation after baby announcement
Olly Murs has left fans feeling hot under the collar after he activated 'beast mode' while unveiling his ripped transformation days after announcing his wife's pregnancy Olly Murs has activated "beast mode" as he took to social media to reveal a very dramatic transformation. The pop singer, who is due to go on tour later this week, has been busy in the gym, putting himself through the paces before taking to the stage. The musician has also undergone a dramatic diet transformation as he prepares to perform to sold-out audiences for two hours each night in various cities. It comes just days after the Dear Darling hitmaker announced that his wife Amelia, 32, was pregnant with their second child. But it was Olly's latest social media post which had fans and even his celebrity pals feeling flustered as he shared a video documenting his transformation and the graft he put in at the gym. In the video, which has been liked over 12,500 times, the cheeky chap, 40, looked ripped as he stepped foot in a boxing ring. The clip showed Olly carrying out a variety of exercises, including sparring and weight lifting as he ramped up the amount of weight he was lifting on the dumbbells. "I'm ready," he said in the clip. Olly had been training with former Team GB boxer, Harvey Horn who he also tagged in the clip. Olly's dramatic 12 week transformation has seen him become "super disciplined in every aspect of his life". Captioning his post, Olly wrote: "Tour starts Thursday... I'm pumped," alongside a tensed bicep emoji and a face pulling a tongue. The comment section of his uploaded was soon flooded with compliments. "Beast mode activated," gushed Rak Su singer Myles Stephenson. Olly's wife Amelia wrote: "You've hit a new kinda level and worked your absolute a**e off to get there! So proud of you. Does this mean we get to eat the same dinners again now?" "Right. I'm going gym," joked Mark Wright. One fan gushed: "Looking fit is. Can't wait to see you in Brighton on Saturday." A second penned: "OMG Olly you look incredible." "Looking ripped Mr Murs! So excited to see you twice in May," said another. Last year, Olly opened up about his fitness and told fans that he had spent 18 months learning the basics of boxing. "It's been a hard slog, so f**it, I'm posting it, learning to box from scratch is hard work," he said. Last week, Olly joked it had :been a week" following the revelation that his family was growing. Speaking to pal Mark on their Heart FM radio show, he said: "You know you have those weeks where you just can't tell anyone? And it's been really exciting news for us both, a shock, we didn't expect it to happen this quick, but amazing!" Sharing the news, Olly took to social media to share a black and white video of himself, Amelia and their daughter Madison, one, walking alongside a path. As he lifted his daughter and put her on his shoulders, the words "Big Sis" could be seen on the back of her top. "We're so egg-cited to share this..… Another Baby Murs on the way," he wrote. To confirm the news, Amelia revealed a set of baby scans. The announcement came just days after the couple had celebrated Madison's first birthday. To mark the occasion, they posted a series of heartwarming photos of the big day. They first announced baby Madison's birth on April 16, 2024 after revealing they were set to become parents back in December 2023, just five months after the couple tied the knot on July 15, 2023.
