Olly's family sadness

Talking about his estrangement from his twin brother Ben, Olly said: "When you've been in the womb with someone, you struggle with loneliness. I had to deal with it when my twin and I went on our separate lives. I was desperate to be around people, could not sit in a room alone."

The pair became estranged in 2009, when Olly performed in the semi-final, which fell on the same weekend as his brother's wedding.

The pop star previously told : "It's easy to blame my decision, but there's much more to it than that, and in the end it was Ben's decision.

"I apologised, said: 'I'm sorry Ben, I love you to bits, have a great day, but I can't come. This is massive for me, for the family, for us,' but there were lots of other elements prior to that, and for my brother not to speak to the family, that's his choice." 

Olly also revealed that he had to learn to like his own company when he was single for three years, which was when he met his now-wife. 

Olly and Amelia's wedding

The couple married in Olly's native Essex in July 2023 at 380-acre Osea Island in the Blackwater Estuary, which made for the perfect backdrop for their three-day celebrations. 

"I was on the brink of crying at any moment," Olly told . "When my nephews walked down the aisle, I was gone, then when Amelia came in – oh my God! My mum said she hasn't seen me cry like that since I was four years old!" 

Shortly after the nuptials, Olly shared that the couple were looking ahead to their next adventure of having children together.
