Olly Murs’ wife has hit out at those criticising the singer’s amazing body transformation. The former X Factor star, 40, showed off his ripped new physique recently after fans said he had activated “beast mode”.
However, despite an influx of positivity on his epic change, some followers revealed they preferred him with his “dad bod”. And the negativity didn’t sit well with his wife, Amelia.
She took to her Instagram Stories to lament the cruel bodyshaming after her husband shared his disappointment at remarks on his appearance. Olly shared an article in which a before and after picture was shared alongside a headline saying women preferred his “huggable dad bod”.

Amelia fumed: “Wow I didn’t release body shaming was still a thing in 2025. And at this public level?! My gosh could you IMAGINE if this headline belonged to a female. But no, my husband’s got to just take this one on the chin.”

Amelia added she loves her husband no matter what he looks like, but admitted she will “forever be celebrating” his dedication to his transformation. She added: “You’re in such a great place mentally as well as physically so don’t let this garbage rain on your parade.”
The star revealed in his own post that his fitness journey had been for “many personal reasons” and he never wanted to spark a debate. He did, however, thank those who had been kinder with their words.

Olly’s dramatic 12 week transformation has seen him become “super disciplined in every aspect of his life”. As he initially shared his new look, he captioned his upload: “Tour starts Thursday… I’m pumped,” alongside a tensed bicep emoji and a face pulling a tongue. The comment section of his uploaded was soon flooded with compliments.
The new image comes Olly and Amelia get ready to welcome their second child to the world. Sharing the sweet pregnancy news, Olly took to social media to share a black and white video of himself, Amelia and their daughter Madison, one, walking alongside a path. He was seen lifting his daughter and putting her on his shoulders, with the words “Big Sis” seen on the back of her top.
He captioned the upload: “We’re so egg-cited to share this..… Another Baby Murs on the way.”
To confirm the news, Amelia revealed a set of baby scans. The announcement came just days after the couple had celebrated Madison’s first birthday. To mark the occasion, they posted a series of heartwarming photos of the big day.
