As he gears up to become a dad for the second time, pop star Olly Murs has been hard at work in the gym.
The Dear Darlin’ hitmaker recently announced that he and wife Amelia are expecting another baby together.
Olly, 40, and Amelia, 32, welcomed daughter Madison last May, with the X Factor alum sharing on Good Friday that their firstborn is to become a big sister later this year.
But in the meantime, Olly has a nationwide tour to complete, performing to thousands of fans with his impressive discography of hits.
In preparation for the gigs, which begin in Plymouth this week and end in London next month, the Troublemaker singer has been working hard on his physique.
Wowing fans with his transformation, Olly debuted his buff body to his 4.8million followers on Monday, writing that he’s ‘pumped’ to get out on the road.

In a video posted on Instagram, he was captured working up a sweat in the gym, doing pull-ups, boxing, cycling, and lifting weights.
His T-shirt discarded, Olly proudly boasted a toned abdomen and bulging biceps, looking much more ‘shredded’ than he did 12 weeks ago.
His nutritionist, Greg, also posted a side-by-side of Olly’s progress, having captured his body pre-training plan and after three months of healthy eating and ‘discipline’.
The caption read: ’12 weeks to shredded and pumped!!
‘What a privilege to work with @ollymurs , super talented but more so super disciplined in every aspect of his life.
‘This was such a great journey and on to the tour we go fuelling him whilst he entertain the world [sic]’.
Expressing his gratitude, Olly added in the comments: ‘“You can’t out train a diet” consistency is key 🔑 in every department! Greg is the man!! 💪🏻’
Fans were also keen to heap praise on Olly for his efforts, with @l.i.n.g_official writing: ‘Well done Olly 👏 fair play it feels amazing doesn’t it full of proudness and confidence and all that work has paid off!’

‘So proud of you darlin and can’t wait to see you do what you do best whilst looking like something out of Men’s Health magazine.’
Olly reposted her words, adding jokingly: ‘Haha thanks for putting up with me making a mess in the kitchen’.
His image transformation comes after Olly reflected on the first few weeks of Amelia’s second pregnancy.
Chatting to buddy Mark Wright on their Heart Radio show, he said on Saturday: ‘Mate, it’s been… You know when you have those weeks where you just can’t tell anyone?
‘It’s been really exciting news for us both. A shock. We didn’t expect it to happen this quick, but [it’s] just amazing. We just want to grow our little family.’
Olly and bodybuilder Amelia first met while going to the same gym and tied the knot in 2023.
