In a moment that blended showbiz glamour with raw family excitement, pop sensation Olly Murs delivered a performance to remember at BBC Radio 2's Live in Hyde Park—only to make an even more dramatic exit straight afterwards.
The singer, 39, was mid-set when he received the life-changing news: his wife, Amelia Tank, had gone into labour with their second child. Cutting his performance short, Murs made a heartfelt promise to the roaring crowd that he was heading directly to be by her side.
'I've got to go—the baby's coming!' he exclaimed from the stage, his voice a mix of panic and exhilaration. The audience erupted in cheers and supportive applause as the reality of the situation set in.
Murs and Amelia, who wed in a stunning July ceremony, are already parents to their one-year-old daughter, Madison. The couple has been openly sharing their joy about expanding their family, with Murs previously mentioning on his radio show that the due date was tantalisingly close to the festival weekend.
The timing couldn't have been more cinematic. Just hours after entertaining thousands, the star traded the spotlight for the maternity ward, embodying the ultimate modern father prioritising family above fame.
This public dash to the delivery room adds another charming chapter to Olly Murs's relatable celebrity persona, endearing him further to fans who have followed his journey from X-Factor star to devoted husband and father.
