Olly Murs took to Instagram on Tuesday to show off his two month weight loss transformation. 

The singer, 35, said he decided to change his lifestyle at the start of the year after looking in the mirror and thinking: ‘f**k me, I look massive’. 

Olly posted a before and after picture to showcase his weight loss- the first taken on January 2 and the second showing his leaner physique after the eight-week challenge.

 Alongside the photo, he wrote: ‘Ain’t bad for 35yr old! My ambition to be a butler in the buff is coming true the pic on the left was 2nd January! 

‘I was like “f**k me I look massive” weight was doing me no favours, grumpy, no energy, sleeping was awful so I made some adjustments and I’m actually buzzing now I’m off to get a McDonald’s.’ 

Olly’s pals were quick to congratulate him on the transformation. Personal trainer to the stars Bradley Simmonds wrote: ‘Yes mate, massive difference’, while his X Factor pal Alexandra Burke sent three applause emojis.

Alongside the sweet image, he penned: ‘When I needed a cry you gave me a shoulder, when I needed space you let me have it and when I needed a kiss you said only on this F**king swing. But literally thanks for the last few days, hope I didn’t ruin the last week of your awesome family holiday darlin.’ (sic).

It comes after Olly shared an emotional post on Instagram on Friday, following his friend Caroline’s tragic death aged 40 last week. 

Alongside an image showing him lying on a beach, he simply added the caption: ‘Behind the clouds the sun is still shining’, just a day after an inquest confirmed his former X Factor co-host took her own life. 

Fans soon swarmed to throw their support behind the star, who noted the rays of light shining from behind the clouds.
