Olly Murs engaged to bodybuilder girlfriend Amelia Tank after romantic holiday proposal

Olly Murs is engaged to his long-term girlfriend Amelia Tank.

The former X Factor star, 38, got down on one knee and popped the question to his bodybuilder girlfriend, 30, while the pair were enjoying a romantic getaway.

The happy couple shared their joyous news with fans on Instagram on Tuesday.

Luckily for their fans, Olly managed to capture the sweet moment on camera as a tear-jerking clip saw sweet Amelia jump into her fiancé's arms before planting a passionate kiss on his lips after he finally popped the all-important question.

Dear Darlin' singer Olly also took to his social media channels to share the happy news as he posted a sweet snap of himself and Amelia sharing a passionate hug after the romantic proposal.

It comes after Olly recently shared how he knew Amelia was 'the one' for him after a 'make or break' trip to Morocco.

The singer 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," he said.

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.

Olly's fitness fanatic girlfriend, 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.
