Jaymi, who found fame on The X Factor, shared a picture of himself and Olly sitting together looking out to sea.

He captioned the picture: “I’d give anything to spend a lifetime in your sapphire eyes.” Jaymi accompanied the post with six broken heart emojis.

In what appears to be a second tribute to Olly, Jaymi has changed his name on his Instagram account. It now lists his name as Jaymi Hensley-Marmon.

The pair were due to get married in September.

Jaymi’s statement

Earlier this month, Jaymi shared a statement commenting on Olly’s death.

It read: “Jaymi Hensley would like to thank all the love, messages and prayers sent to him over the loss of his beautiful fiancé Oliver Marmon. At this time the family would like the media to respect the privacy of Jaymi and Oliver’s family while they mourn the loss of Oliver.”

Shortly after Olly’s death Jaymi was taken in for questioning by Northamptonshire Police. They initially treated Olly’s death as potentially suspicious. However, Jaymi was later released without charge. It was then confirmed that Olly’s injuries and death were the result of his fall from height – ruling out foul play.
