Olly Murs should have known what he was signing up for when he agreed to take part on the Loose Women panel this afternoon.
If there’s one thing they’ll guarantee, it’s to ask awkward questions that may need a delicate answer!
As you’ll remember, at the end of last year it was reported that Olly had secretly been in a relationship with Melanie Sykes for a whole YEAR.
So of course, when Olly appeared on the show this lunchtime, it wasn’t long before he was asked the killer question.
Kelly Brook asked him outright if he was single, to which Olly replied: “I am single, yeah. I heard you guys talking about the rumours earlier!
“Every time I pick up a paper I see ‘Olly spoke to this girl, he must be dating her!’ but no I’m single, last time I checked.
“It’s just me in my bed on my own – there’s no one else.”
However the Loose Women wouldn’t let it lie, continuing to grill the singer.
Kelly said: “Melanie Sykes! Did you date Melanie Sykes? Mel is so beautiful and funny and nice.”
A clearly sheepish Olly replied: “Mel’s amazing, we’re great friends, the rumours we were dating for a year is just not true.”
