Olly Murs debuts dramatic new look at The Voice launch

He's bleached his hair!

Olly Murs has debuted a new hairdo on the red carpet at The Voice launch last night.

The singer, who is a coach on the show, unveiled his new bleached hair as he attended the show’s first blind auditions at Manchester’s MediaCityUK.

Olly ditched his darker locks and opted for a bleach blond look, which mirrored the show’s host Emma Willis’ platinum hair.

The star looked dapper in a black tuxedo, which he paired with a white shirt with an embellished collar, as he posed alongside his fellow coaches Tom Jones, will.i.am and Meghan Trainor.

It comes after American singer Meghan confirmed she would be replacing Jennifer Hudson on the show.

Last month, Jennifer told fans on Twitter: “Hey y’all! I’m sad to share that I won’t be able to join my friends in the red chair for @thevoiceuk this season due to filming commitments here in the States.

“I sure will miss my UK family, but I’ll be back soon for ‘Cats’ and ‘Respect’! Throw some shoes for me in the mean time.”

Speaking about joining the show as a coach, Meghan said in a statement: “It’s a dream come true.

“I can’t wait to sit in the chair with my own button and listen to some incredible new talent.”

Host Emma added: “I absolutely adore Jennifer and will massively miss her.

I can’t wait to sit in the chair with my own button and listen to some incredible new talent.

“However, Meghan is a fab choice to add to the coaching line-up.”

The Voice has been running now for eight seasons, having launched in 2012.

Meanwhile, away from The Voice, it seems things are going good for Olly in his personal life.

Last month, it was reported that he’s dating a high-flier from the finance industry who moonlights as a bodybuilder.

A source quoted by The Sun on Sunday newspaper claimed: “Amelia’s Instagram feed caught his eye and they started swapping flirty messages. They met up at an Essex gym in July and the chemistry was instant.

“Olly thought Amelia was gorgeous, and she was very impressed by him too. They agreed to a date and since then the romance has been going well.”
