The exciting news comes five months after Olly and Amelia married on Essex’s Osea Island. The couple’s special day had an unusual theme, dubbed “Murs fest”. Complete with fairground rides, a stage, and a Murs fest arch, the Dance With Me Tonight singer chose to celebrate his big day with a festival.
Olly’s close friend and TOWIE star, Mark Wright, shared some snaps of the wedding on his Instagram. Mark’s 1.8 million followers were treated to a cheeky selfie of himself and the groom, displaying festival garb and a middle finger each on his story.
TV personality Mark captioned the snap, “Celebrating this one @ollymurs and @tankintraining wedding day. Love you both x”. The 36-year-old also shared a video of the festival-wedding fusion to his story, capturing an airplane streaking across the sky with a banner reading: “OLLY AND AMELIA JUST MARRIED”.

The 380-acre island and venue is owned by music producer Nigel Frieda. Osea Island has an intriguing history of being rented to high-profile names in music, which in recent years includes none other than Rihanna. The island has a fully equipped recording studio and extensive accommodation, making it a popular pick for stars to record albums. It reportedly costs £20,000 per day to rent.

A source close to Olly explained the couple’s decision to get hitched at the Essex location, telling The Express: “Olly is proud of his Essex roots, so the chance to marry at home, while also offering an exclusive and isolated location was an ideal blend.
