Olly Murs has shared his “guilt” after heading off on tour just days after the birth of baby girl Madison.
Singer Olly and wife Amelia welcomed their first baby earlier this month. However, just days after she was born, Olly was booked to support Take That on tour, leaving Amelia at home holding the baby.
This week he’s been at London’s O2 Arena, and little Madison has been backstage with her dad. But that hasn’t stopped Olly admitting that he feels “guilty” leaving Amelia “with the nappies and the sleepless nights”.
New dad Olly Murs reveals ‘guilt’ as he heads off on tour
A video from the show was shared by one fan. In it, Olly is seen telling the audience how it feels to be a new dad.
In the footage, obtained by the MailOnline, Olly says: “It’s been the most craziest time. Because obviously on one hand I’ve got this beautiful baby girl, my wife is at home looking after her with the nappies, and the sleepless nights. And I’m on tour with Take That. I feel guilty!”
I’m on tour with Take That. I feel guilty!
He then joked: “But this week I’ve been home. I’ve done the nappies, I’ve done the late nights and I can’t wait to stay on tour. I’m joking! Honestly, she is truly awesome. I never thought I’d be a dad, so I can’t quite believe it.”
The singer then pointed to his manhood and shouted: “It works! And genuinely I’m super, super proud. And to be on this tour, it’s just topped it off. So what an amazing time for me right now.”
