Olly Murs - ‘I'm Not Desperate – I'm Happy Being Single!'

- Jack White

We catch Olly Murs after a full day of rehearsals for The Voice, ahead of his return as a judge for the second year.

Despite his long day, Olly, 34, is full of beans, jiggling around on the swivel chair as we chat about his time in the music industry and his annoyance at regularly being in the press because of his love life.

But, as always with Olly, nothing is off limits and unlike many other celebs these days, he doesn’t once decline to answer a question.

It’s been almost 10 years since the Essex boy first appeared on The X Factor but – apart from the obvious fame and fortune – it’s clear to see this is one pop star who’s kept his feet firmly on the ground…

Hi, Olly! You’re back as a judge on The Voice –how’s it going?

It’s been the best year from what I’ve been told. All the producers are saying it’s the best vibe and the chemistry between us judges is better. The contestants are great. We’re not trying too hard and so we are just having fun.

Would you ever be tempted to go on I’m a Celeb?
