Olly Murs has broke his silence after announcing he is expecting his second child with wife Amelia.
The couple, who welcomed their first daughter, Madison, 11 months ago in May, took to Instagram on Friday to confirm that they will soon be welcoming another baby.
During his and Mark Wright’s Heart radio show on Saturday, Olly spoke for the first time about becoming a dad again, admitting he didn’t ‘expect it to happen this quick’.
As his pal Mark congratulated him on the news, he asked the star how ‘buzzing’ he was.
Olly, 40, replied: ‘Mate, it’s been… you know when you have those weeks where you can’t tell anyone? It’s been really exciting news for us both.
‘A shock, we didn’t expect it to happen this quick, but just yeah, amazing. We just want to grow our little family.’

‘You should be so proud of yourselves. You’re the best mum and dad ever to Maddie, and the fact you’re doing it again, giving her a little sibling, is just sensational,’ Mark gushed. ‘I love you mate, and I love the whole family, and I’m just buzzing for you.’
‘So I’m going to be at the start soon,’ Olly laughed.
‘You’re going to be back where I was weeks ago, and now I can make fun of you having sleepless nights,’ Mark joked.
On Friday, Olly announced that he is set to become a dad for the second time as he revealed he and his wife Amelia are expecting.
In an adorable black and white video, the family of three were seen walking through the park with Madison sat on her father’s shoulders.
She wore a denim jacket embossed with the words ‘BIG SIS’, while Amelia held a reel of snaps of the baby scan.
They penned in a caption: ‘We’re so egg-cited to share this..… Another Baby Murs on the way.’
Olly and his bodybuilder partner, 32, tied the knot in July 2023 and announced the arrival of their baby girl on April 17.

Just 48 hours after Amelia had given birth, the singer was back on tour supporting Take That.
The singer told the crowd at the time how he had been juggling nappies and late nights, but felt guilty he had been working away from home.
He said: ‘It’s been the most craziest time. Cos obviously on one hand I’ve got this beautiful baby girl, my wife is at home looking after her with the nappies, and the sleepless nights.
‘And I’m on tour with Take That. I feel guilty!’
Last month, Olly candidly confessed he broke down in tears after he was forced to leave her just two days after her birth.
He admitted to the emotional toll the decision had on him months after when he realised he had never got to know his daughter as a baby.
Speaking with new dad Mark Wright on their Heart Breakfast show, Olly confessed: ‘It was really hard for me as I had to leave two days after the baby was born to go on tour with Take That.’
He explained: ‘I didn’t really process it at the time and a few months later me and Amelia were chatting and I just broke down in tears as I never got a chance to actually get to know this little baby.’

Supporting his pal amid his decision to leave his family for work commitments, Mark added: ‘But you were doing it all for her future.’
While touring with Take That, Olly raced home to EsSєx after gigs to spend time with Amelia and Madison.
In the exclusive clip obtained my MailOnline last April, Olly explained: ‘But this week I’ve been home.
‘I’ve done the nappies, I’ve done the late nights and I can’t wait to stay on tour.
‘I’m joking! Honestly, she is truly awesome.
‘I never thought I’d be a dad, so I can’t quite believe it.
Pointing to his manhood, Olly shouted: ‘It works! And genuinely I’m super, super proud. And to be on this tour, it’s just topped it off. So what an amazing time for me right now.’
