‘I'm cheeky, I'm fun, I have a good time!‘

Singer Olly Murs has landed his first prime-time solo hosting job and taken to the shiny floor of Starstruck like a pro.

Olly is fronting the talent show in which people are transformed into their favourite musical icon, with three contestants teaming up each week to perform as the same star.

When we sit down with the 37-year-old, he admits his new role is a childhood dream come true. He even sent an audition tape to Stars In Their Eyes when he was younger, with his own impression of Ronan Keating. But he’s come a long way since then.

Essex-born Olly has been in showbiz for more than 12 years, having first appeared as a contestant on The X Factor in 2009, swiftly followed by chart hits, presenting The X Factor alongside Caroline Flack and becoming a coach on The Voice UK.

Here, he talks to us about meeting the hopefuls who are performing as Team Olly Murs, how the Starstruck judges leave their egos at the door and how he knew his girlfriend Amelia Tank was The One.

Hi, Olly! Was it a no-brainer to say yes to this show, despite the nerves?
