Olly Murs has revealed that he kick-started his weight loss journey in a bid to match up to his girlfriend’s bodybuilding brothers.
The singer, 36, who has been dating Amelia Tank for over a year, was inspired to shed the pounds after he first met his girlfriend's seriously buff siblings.
Former X Factor star Olly said he became desperate to be on the same fitness level as Amelia’s siblings in time for a joint family holiday.
The lovebirds and Amelia’s well-built brothers all jetted off to Bali together at the start of the year before the coronavirus lockdown swept the UK.
Despite completely transforming his body in just a matter of weeks, Olly has since some weight back on after their luxurious break away.
Now his motivation to train comes from knowing that he’ll be able to scoff as many takeaways as he wants as long as he hits the gym afterward.
Lifting the lid on his weight loss journey, Olly, told Daily Star : "I'd gone through a big year with my injured knee. I got quite big and I ate quite a lot because I was sat doing nothing.
"My knee was getting better and I started training again. I was going to Bali at the start of the year and I wanted to get fit for it because Amelia's brothers are so ripped. I wanted to get on their level."
"When we came back from Bali, lockdown kicked in and I put all the weight back on."
Olly admitted that he’d not yet his ideal weight, and knows that his weight will continue to fluctuate.
The much-loved singer isn’t too bothered though as he loves training, and ‘trains to eat’.
“I love it and I train to eat. I know if I train, I can have a McDonald's,” he said.
