Former X Factor star Olly Murs watched his bodybuilding girlfriend Amelia Tank win her bikini champ title, getting crowned the overall UK winner of the Pure Elite pro competition.
Despite Amelia’s incredible achievement, Olly, 37, has had to defend his girlfriend against trolls, who have been calling her “too masculine”.
Olly told The Sun: “Unfortunately, the world we live in means people have a platform to say nasty things.
“There must be an insecurity in them — they decide to be nasty because they know that they can never get a body like that.
“But anyone looking at her photos and saying she looks too manly, I mean, what are they even seeing?”

He added: “For me, Amelia looks incredible and what I see when she walks into the gym is loads of admiration and people coming up to her giving her compliments.
“I get so many people saying, ‘Oh my God, your girlfriend looks amazing.”
Talking about watching Amelia compete, Olly said: “I couldn’t take my eyes off her — she was the hottest girl there.
“I love the way Amelia is naturally without make-up, extensions and heels but I also loved seeing her like that. It was just like, ‘Wow, that’s actually my girlfriend’.”

The Troublemaker hit singer shared that he admires Amelia’s hard work.
Amelia has been bodybuilding for four years, spending six months on a strict diet and training regime, as well as waking at 5.30am in preparation for the competition.
The lovebirds have been dating since Olly struck up a conversation with Amelia, sliding into her DMs.
Meeting for the first time in the summer of 2019, their relationship has gone from strength-to-strength ever since.
In June of last year, The Voice star Olly also hinted wedding bells could be on the horizon, speaking during an appearance on Sky’s Harry’s Home Fixtures with hosts Harry Redknapp.
Teasing wedding plans, host Jamie asked: “Are we going to get an invite to the wedding?”
Speaking from the heart, Olly replied: “Listen, if, when, I’m sure I’ll marry Amelia, when I get married all you guys are invited. 100%.”
