The news anchor quickly explained himself…

Host of GMB Richard Madeley took a swipe at singer Olly Murs during Thursday morning’s (September 19) show.

Olly appeared on the show to promote his upcoming appearance on the BBC show Who Do You Think You Are?. In his episode, which will air later tonight, the former X Factor star finds out that performing runs in his family as his great-grandfather was a circus performer.

Kate made a light-hearted joke about Olly’s big hit Troublemaker, insisting he has to behave himself now that he’s a 40-year-old dad.

Olly expressed that he was excited to show his daughter his career from the start when she gets older. In the background, images of Olly and his family appeared on the screen.

“Look at you! You’ve got a beautiful baby, you’ve got a beautiful wife,” Richard responded.

“You look great, you’ve got a fantastic career, you’ve got a great back catalogue. You make me sick!”

While laughing, Olly responded: “I’ll take it!” Richard then added: “What I mean is, you must feel blessed sometimes.”

Olly Murs on dad ‘guilt’

After welcoming his daughter, Madison, in April, Olly told The Sun that the hardest thing he had to do was go out on tour straight away.

“I felt like I wasn’t actually present. I felt I didn’t have a connection with her and she was like, ‘who’s this guy?’” he confessed.

Admitting that he felt “guilty”, Olly revealed that when he’s at home, he makes sure to help his wife Amelia. “If she needs me to watch the baby for a bit, or pop down the shops, or make a high chair, that’s my job right now,” he added.

During the commercial break, Olly Murs leaned over to Richard and whispered, “You’re not so bad yourself, mate.” Richard chuckled and replied, “Oh stop it, you’re making me blush!” The camaraderie between the two was evident as they continued to banter back and forth.

As the interview progressed, Olly opened up about his struggles with anxiety and how he has learned to manage it over the years. He credited his family and friends for being his support system and helping him through tough times.

Richard commended Olly for being so open and honest, stating that it takes courage to talk about mental health issues on a public platform.

Switching gears, Kate brought up Olly’s upcoming music projects and asked him to share a sneak peek with the audience.

Olly grinned mischievously and revealed that he has been working on a new album that will showcase a different side of him as an artist.

He promised fans that they can expect some surprises and collaborations that they won’t see coming.

As the interview came to a close, Richard and Kate thanked Olly for joining them on the show and wished him luck with his future endeavors.

Olly expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to share his story and connect with his fans on a personal level. As he exited the studio, a sense of admiration lingered in the air for the talented singer and his journey in the spotlight.
