Olly Murs has given fans a taste of his birthday antics after he shared some footage from behind the scenes of his tour.
Murs was celebrating his 40th birthday on Tuesday (May 14) whilst on tour with legendary band Take That as they make their way across the country. The Troublemaker singer has been entertaining fans ahead of the trio’s big return to the stage in arenas up and down the nation.
On Tuesday, he was getting ready for another gig at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham, when he was surprised with a rather strange treat. Taking to his social media accounts, he shared a series of snaps and videos to his 4.7million Instagram followers which left fans floored and flooding him with questions.

To commemorate his big day, Olly was surprised by British pastry shop Greggs with a giant one-of-a-kind Sausage, Bean and Cheese Melt, his favourite pastry from the chain… only it was a cake! This happened with just hours to go until he took to the stage for the thousands of fans in the arena ready to see both him and Take That.

Taking inspiration from Murs’ love for the well-loved stuffing, Greggs custom ordered the cake from ML Bespoke Cakes and had it specially made just for the birthday boy. The cake was set to be as realistically similar to the original, including specific details on how to recreate the golden puff pastry decorations, including the baked bean “filling”.
The cake itself, which in fact was a red velvet cake, measured one metre long and had two kilograms of cherries, eight kilograms of buttercream and three kilograms of chocolate ganache. A clearly bemused Olly was left completely stunned by the sweet treat and shared some snaps of the huge cake to his Instagram stories.

As well as this, due to Olly’s huge love for the baked delight, the company also chucked in 12 extra Sausage, Bean and Cheese Melts that he was able to share with the crew and backstage guests. All of this was neatly tied up in a box that cheekily read: “Turning 40? Piece of Cake,” before wishing Olly a “Happy Sausagey Beany 40th Birthday”.
However, this is not the first time that the former X Factor star has worked with Greggs to create a huge deal. Earlier in the year, he worked with the shop to create the hilarious “Preggs”, a Greggs-themed baby shower for his wife Amelia as they got ready to welcome their new baby into the world.
During the baby shower, Murs himself made a surprise appearance – showing up to the event dressed up as a Sausage Roll. The event sparked a huge wave of support for the pair, with many gushing over the happy couple.
