Amelia is a former city worker and bodybuilder from Plymouth. Clearly a fitness fanatic, the 31-year-old trains multiple times a week including weightlifting and high-intensity training. She also completed the 2013 London Marathon. Amelia came first in the Bikini Tall and Miss Model category in the 2019 Miami Pro Champions, then also won the Bikini Babe Tall Class in the Pure Elite competition.

First meeting

In early 2019, Olly came across Amelia's profile and the two began chatting online, later going on a few days dating, before cooling it off. However, the pair then rekindled their budding romance over the summer.

Speaking to The Sun about his new love at the time, Olly gushed: "She's just a great person, full of love, she's caring, sensitive, doesn't suffocate me, lets me be me, loves the fact I'm cheeky and flirty and isn't trying to change that." He added: "I love being around her. She's one of my best mates and then she is my lover and girlfriend."

Speaking to HELLO! at their wedding, Olly and Amelia shared their hopes to start a family. "We're ready to have our own little Murs running around," Olly said. "It's so special that we’ll be able to take our kids to Osea Island one day and say: 'This is where we got married.'"

Olly's ex-girlfriends

Before his relationship with Amelia, Olly was dating property manager Francesca Thomas for three years before the couple called it quits at the end of 2015. The singer was also reported to have had a brief relationship with TV presenter Melanie Sykes in 2017.

Although the singer was a little coy on the subject, he did reveal "something" might have occurred between the two. Appearing on Loose Women back in 2018, Olly was quizzed about Mel and replied: "Mel's amazing… there might have been something."
