Olly Murs puts on a VERY cheeky display as he strips off to his underwear in London's Leicester Square for hilarious stunt
Olly Murs put on a cheeky display as he stripped off to his underwear in London's Leicester Square on Friday. The former X Factor star, 41, shared a picture of himself taking off his clothes in the capital following the release of his new single Save Me. Alongside his post, which he shared on Saturday, Olly joked: 'Hope your morning's going better than mine yesterday'. Before he whipped of his clothes, Olly was seen stood on a small black circular platform speaking into a Heart Radio microphone. The stunt was all part of the Dear Darlin' hitmaker's appearance on the Heart breakfast show to promote the new single. While in studio, Jamie Theakston and his guest co-host Zoe Hardman played a game, fittingly around the name of the singer's latest release. Jamie, 54, invited Olly to spin their Wheel of Peril, which was packed full of dares - from being buried alive to public nudity. He explained how the rules of the game were simple, if Olly's best pal Mark Wright picked up the phone when they rang him, he'd be saved from baring all in the middle of Leicester Square. However, things didn't go the way Olly hoped, with Mark, 38, rejecting the call and sending it to his voicemail service. In a second chance of saving himself from public embarrassment, Olly's fate was in the hands of Jamie who was asked questions relating to his music career so far. After every incorrect answer, Olly would have to remove an item of clothing in full view of passersby. With Jamie's knowledge of Olly's career proving to be scarce, Olly was left in just his underwear by the end of the hilarious segment. Taking it in good spirits, Olly joked to Zoe and Jamie back in the studio: 'Do you know what, nobody cares, that's even better! 'There's a guy asleep on the bench over there, even Paddington has waved at me, look, hi Paddington!' Olly's new single was released on 25 July - and it's his first since 2022. The dad-to-be dropped his seventh studio album, Marry Me in December 2022, which featured his comeback song that went to hit the Number 1 spot in the UK. Olly has been a busy man recently, after announcing his wife Amelia is pregnant with their second child. The couple, who welcomed their first daughter, Madison, last May, took to Instagram in April to confirm that they will soon be welcoming another baby. Meanwhile, Olly failed up to show up for his radio show last Saturday morning after partying too hard on Friday night as he celebrated the release of his new track. He left his co-star Mark Wright in the lurch as he seemingly couldn't make it in for the Heart Breakfast show. He normally wakes up the capital alongside ex-TOWIE star Mark from 9am-12pm on Saturday mornings. But Olly admitted to his fans that Saturday's show was a write off after he woke up with a sore head after a 'mad' night of partying. Taking to Instagram, Olly penned: 'Last night was mad! Might've gone a bit too hard while celebrating the new single coming out with the boys... 'Also seem to have lost my wallet if anyone finds it.' Mark was left to host the show solo as Heart shared a post of the presenter looking lost as he tried to find Olly, only for his partying antics to have been recorded on CCTV. Showing the clip of Olly having a great time, Mark began: 'So if you've been listening to Heart this morning, you'll know that my co-host Mr Olly Murs isn't in. 'No one can find him. Didn't know where he was. And someone has just sent this into the studio. Him out last night, caught on CCTV in a bar or a pub. 'So he's obviously out, had a late night and not turned up to the studio. Very professional Olly Murs, I like it. Yeah, very good.'

Amanda Holden left open-mouthed after being introduced to her doppelgänger live on Heart Radio
Amanda Holden was unable to contain her shock as she was introduced to her doppelgänger live on Heart Breakfast on Monday. The presenter, 54, met the woman described as 'the UK's number one Amanda Holden lookalike', Eve Bannerman. Amanda proceeded to burst out laughing when she saw Eve as her co-host, Jamie Theakston, said it was like 'essentially putting a mirror in the studio'. The Britain's Got Talent judge said: 'It is very odd. I've always said I need two of me, I'm ever so busy. 'I might send you off for the weekend with my husband.' Amanda admitted she was flattered by her lookalike and said she was 'definitely younger than me.' Jamie then joked that Amanda clearly hadn't thought through the possibility of sending Eve on a weekend away with her husband. He asked Eve if she had received many bookings as an Amanda lookalike and she admitted: 'No, this is the first one.' Amanda's meeting with her doppelgänger comes after she threw a lavish Beverly Hills-themed party to celebrate her lookalike daughter, Hollie, 13, moving schools. The presenter went all out for the bash as she rented out a VIP bus for her 13-year-old daughter and all her school friends as she heads into Year 9 in September. The former Wild At Heart actress took to Instagram on Thursday and shared a video reel of the party which also featured a large 'glamping' tent in the garden. In addition, Hollie and her pals had a sit-down meal in the garden which was decorated with balloons. Amanda also showed off a large sign at their home reading: Hollie's goodbye for now...' Alongside the clip, Amanda wrote: 'A new era for our #HRH she's changing schools!!! To a truly fabulous one closer to home... Roll on year 9!! Amanda added: 'We did a little au-revoir party as even though she won't be seeing them every day her friends will stay her friends!! and it goes without saying that me and the mum's will forever be drinking rosé and enjoying life as normal!!♥️ 'Thank you to the people below - everything was bought and paid for, but they all went above and beyond to make this a truly special afternoon in the sunshine [sic].' The company who helped Amanda set up the party, Muddy Boots, revealed on their Instagram page the brief for the day was 'Beverly Hills vibes'. Amanda shares Hollie and 19-year-old daughter Lexi with her husband Chris Hughes who she has been married to since 2008.

Amanda Holden is left red faced as she makes an awkward confession about accidentally flashing her electrician in her garden
Amanda Holden was left red-faced as she made an awkward confession on Wednesday's Heart Radio. The TV personality, 54, revealed on her radio show with Jamie Theakston that she has been accidentally flashing her electrician. Speaking on Wednesday, Amanda revealed her back garden has been undergoing a renovation and that a time lapse camera was installed to help understand the layout. But in an embarrassing turn of events, Amanda revealed she didn't realise the camera was recording and had been naked in her garden during that time - as well as flashing her breasts to her husband Chris Hughes. 'We are having our garden done over the summer and I thought it would be really fun to put a time-lapse camera over the whole of our garden,' she said. 'He [the electrician] said "oh well I'll have to look at what we're doing for all the angles are right on that [time lapse]". 'Yeah he said it's been going for the last couple of days and I went "I am always naked in my back garden".' Amanda continued: 'No word of a lie, I have definitely been naked and then for a joke the other day, I was sorting something out in the garden and my husband waved at me, from the bedroom window, and I flashed my boobs at him Jamie Theakston asked: 'What's wrong with you?' 'Because I thought this is funny! And I went "woo-hoo!" like that,' Amanda replied, to which Jamie clarified: 'And that is all on the time-lapse.' Amanda replied: 'I had no idea! Because it was all stuck to a drainpipe which is black and the camera's black, I had no idea it was up and now Andy's going to be reviewing this footage and I need it all deleted! 'So it's all automatically uploaded to the cloud,' Jamie said, as Amanda confirmed it was. 'And can you access this footage on the phone? Asking for a friend?' Jamie cheekily asked. It comes one day after Amanda looked radiant in a butter lemon dress as she joined her lookalike daughter Lexi Hughes for Wimbledon. The radio presenter and her daughter Lexi, 19, were spotted leaving Global studios in London on Tuesday after Amanda's Heart Radio show. Amanda looked incredible as she changed from her all-white work attire into a butter lemon maxi dress, featuring a high neck and capped sleeves as well as a full skirt. Meanwhile Lexi opted for a summery white linen co-ord, consisting of a cropped sleeveless blazer and high-waisted flared trousers, while carrying an Aspinal of London Midi Mayfair handbag (£1,650). Amanda took to Instagram later that day to share a snap of her and Lexi sittingat Centre Court for the quarter finals of the Ladies' Singles. 'Centre court can't wait for this afternoon's play we fell so lucky @ she captioned the snap. Last week, Amanda put on a leggy display in a brown skort for a go-karting race in central London against F1 legend Jenson Button. After showing off her look in an Instagram video earlier in the day, Amanda was snapped arriving in sunny Leicester Square looking noticeably tanned. Sporting an all-brown ensemble consisting of the £125 skort from The Frankie Shop and a coordinated silk tank top from Mint Velvet, Amanda seemed thrilled to be trying her luck at go-karting. However it seems Jenson, who enjoyed a 17-year career in Formula 1, unsurprisingly got the best of the rookie as he was pictured whizzing around a corner in-front of Amanda. The contest was played in great spirits however, with the blonde stunner and the victorious Jenson embracing with a hug afterwards.

Jamie Theakston makes stark cancer admission
Jamie Theakston makes stark cancer admission The star made the heart-breaking admission about not knowing how his cancer would affect the rest of his life (Image: PA ) Jamie Theakston admitted his cancer battle made him unsure about his future in his TRIC Awards speech. The 54-year-old broadcaster was diagnosed with stage one laryngeal cancer - which affects the larynx (voice box) that helps people to breathe and speak - in September 2024, and he announced in January that he is "cancer-free". But the star made the heart-breaking admission about not knowing how his cancer would affect the rest of his life in his acceptance speech, when he picked up the Best Radio Show gong for his and Amanda Holden's Heart Breakfast radio show on Tuesday (24.06.25). Beginning his remarks with a joke aimed at his co-host for not being at the ceremony in Grosvenor House, London, Jamie said: "Thank you very much! "As you know my co-host can't stand to be in the limelight so you have me and it's a pleasure to be here. "There has been times in the past 12 months where I haven't known where I was gonna be never mind on this stage so I really appreciate it. Article continues below "We last won this 10 years ago so I'll see you in 10 years." Jamie - who has sons Sidney, 17, and Kit, 16, with his wife Sophie Siegle - previously said he hopes his experience of overcoming cancer will make him a "better person". Asked by television presenter Davina McCall, 57, what he is "looking forward to" now his cancer ordeal is behind him, Jamie said on her 'Begin Again' podcast in May: "Just the rest of my life ... "I hope it will make me be a better parent, a better broadcaster. It certainly feels like it makes me a better person." Jamie also revealed he initially kept his then-possible cancer diagnosis a secret from Sophie for weeks so they could enjoy their family trip to Japan. The star - who explained to Davina that he underwent emergency scans before they jetted off on their trip - said: "I didn't tell anyone. "At that stage, I thought, well, it might not be cancer. So there's no point really in saying anything. "I just tried to suppress it. All I could think was, it's probably not." After the biopsy results confirmed he had cancer, Jamie told Sophie. He said: "I then had to go home and tell my wife. She was distraught. "I went on holiday with this in the back of my mind, We had a fantastic time - but obviously, this was there in the background." And Jamie then had to tell his children - which was incredibly hard for him to do. Article continues below He said: "I had to explain to them that I was going to be fine, but they were too young to understand. "When you say you've got cancer to a 14-year-old, they think you're going to die. "My youngest son had been with me when I was told my mum had died of cancer, so he knew what it meant."

‘I didn't know if I'd be here' says Jamie Theakston in heartbreaking confession after cancer battle
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JAMIE Theakston has made a heartbreaking confession following his tough cancer battle. The Heart FM star admitted he did not know "if he'd be here" to accept an award on stage at last night's prestigious TRIC Awards. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Jamie Theakston made a heartbreaking confession on stage at the TRIC Awards Credit: PA 4 He faced a gruelling cancer battle last year Credit: Instagram/@thisisheart Jamie shocked his listeners last year when he confirmed in September that he had been diagnosed with Stage 1 laryngeal cancer. The 54-year-old star was prompted to have a check-up at his doctors after some of his listeners raised concerns for a change in his voice. In good news, Jamie was declared cancer-free in January but last night he admitted his fears of if he would ever get better. Having won the award for Best Radio Show for his programme with Amanda Holden, Jamie took to the stage to accept the gong in which he addressed his cancer battle. Speaking to the crowd, he said: 'There have been times in the past 12 months where I haven't known where I was gonna be, never mind on this stage, so I really appreciate it.' He then thanked his co-host Amanda and their daily showbiz reporter, Ashley Roberts, before he made a joke looking to the future. Jamie laughed: 'We last won this 10 years ago so I'll see you in 10 years." The star took a break from hosting duties during his cancer battle last year. The star's initial procedure, performed privately at the Princess Grace Hospital in London, successfully removed his lesion. However, biopsies could not confirm with complete certainty that all cancer cells had been eliminated. Davina McCall breaks down in tears as she is reunited with Jamie Theakston after their health battles While he is free from the disease now, with odds of it returning "very low", he is still under instruction to see his surgeon every month. In a new interview with The Times, Jamie spoke of his "scanxiety", explaining the intervals between appointments will lengthen to three and then six months after a year. He said: "I was given the option of radiotherapy, but we decided that surgery was a better option. I had to go back for a second operation and have more tissue removed. That reset my recovery right back to the beginning. "I was frustrated because I just wanted to get back to work. I remember reading an interview Amanda [Holden] had given saying, 'We hope to have him back by Christmas.' I had thought, way before Christmas! So the second operation put us back a bit. "And then we found that during the healing process, some scar tissue was touching the other vocal cord. So I had to go back and have a third surgery. "We were happy that the cancer was clear but to allow my voice to operate, they had to remove the scar tissue, which unfortunately had formed in a place where we didn't want it forming.' 4 He hosts the show with Amanda Holden Credit: PA
