Olly has revealed that it took a while for him to let his guard down at the start of their relationship, telling the Mirror that he was very "wishy-washy" for their first few dates and "very non-committal".

In fact, Olly was so "all over the place" that the couple briefly split.
"I broke it off, but we rekindled things in the summer," he admitted. "I had an epiphany. I was like, 'What am I doing, she's [expletive] perfect, she's the one for me. Stop being an idiot!'"

Olly also shared details of his proposal for the first time. "It was on top of a cliff in this little place in Cornwall," he revealed. "We were on a walk with her family, but nobody knew what I was going to do.
The singer popped the question in June
"Not many things in my life are private and this moment for me was the one thing I wanted to keep private. Her mum was videoing it – she was going, 'Oh my God, he's doing it!' They were over the moon."
Olly had spoken of his desire to marry Amelia on numerous occasions. As part of a Pepperami 'Ban the Bland' Q&A in 2021, the singer admitted he'd love to "have a future with her" and opened up about feeling "ready to settle down" when they met.
It's clear the couple are still head over heels
"I'm very fortunate to have met Amelia at the time in my life that I did. I was ready to settle down, and just going into lockdown meant my work was put on hold and I was able to spend quality time with her, building the foundations of our relationship," Olly said.
"She's brilliant and I'd love to have a future with her. Marriage and kids you'll have to wait and see, as we're in no rush and are very happy as we are right now."
