Olly Murs goes undercover as a SECRET BUSKER – and you’ll never guess how much he made!

Haven’t heard much from Olly Murs of late, have we? And that’s weird because Mother’s Day is coming up soon and that’s prime Olly Murs time. Why hasn’t he got a new album out that our mum would like? Why isn’t he promoting a record full of inoffensive studio pop our nan could click her arthritic fingers along to? WHERE THE HELL IS OLLY MURS?

Oh he’s… oh dear. Um, turns out Olly’s had a run of bad luck and has given up on shaving. And washing. And he’s standing in Covent Garden these days trying to get people to listen to his music and chuck a couple of pennies at him when they’ve got change.

MORE NEWS!
