Olly Murs calls bodybuilder girlfriend 'the one' after their 'make or break' holiday

Olly Murs said that he knew his girlfriend Amelia Tank was "the one" after a "make or break" trip to Morocco.

The singer, who has landed hosting duties of a new Saturday night show Starstruck, said the pair knew "straight away" that they were going to "spend the rest of their life together".

Speaking to New magazine, Olly said how the pressure was on for the couple ahead of their first trip away together.

He explained how it would be the first time they would spend two weeks solidly together.

"When we went to Morocco on our first holiday together, we both definitely knew.”

They met in a gym and started off as just friends, but after the star had an operation on his knee the pair got talking again and a flame was sparked.

He added: “After two or three days, me and Amelia looked at each other and said, ‘Yeah, this is kind of it now, isn’t it?’ We both told each other that we loved each other.”

“When we came back from that trip, Amelia said, 'I knew straight away that you were who I was going to spend the rest of my life with', and I said the same," the TV presenter gushed.

But the hopeless romantic said that he knew body builder Amelia was for him before the holiday, joking he was "game, set and match".

Olly said how Amelia told him that she thought the holiday would be "make or break", which took Olly by surprise.

He said how he saw settling down as a "big thing" and spoke of how he "fought against" finding love for so long until Amelia came into his life.

The fitness fanatic who trains twice a day also works in a major bank in London and is nicknamed Tank the Bank.

In 2019 she finished first in the Bikini Tall and Miss Model category at the Miami Pro World Championships, then she won the Bikini Babe Tall Class at the Pure Elite competition.

The Dear Darlin' hitmaker spoke recently to OK! about his dreams of becoming a dad.

"I’d love to be a dad. On my bucket list I set myself small challenges and then big ones.”

“The big ones are to be a dad and have children, and be a No1 best-selling artist again. And maybe one day pick up a BRIT award, that would be pretty special.”

This comes after he parted ways with his record company RCA after 12 years in order to "shake things up a bit".

His departure allegedly sparked a bidding war from other companies wanting to sign him up ahead of his highly-anticipated seventh album release.

On the anniversary of Caroline Flack's death he shared a sweet photo of the two of them and captioned it: "My favourite photo of us. The hug the smile the laughs I miss it all caz! 2 years ago we lost ya and it hurts everyday."
