Olly Murs : the biography

A regular in the charts and in the gossip columns, Olly is regarded by many as a possible successor to icons like Robbie Williams and Will Young.

But not content with his triumphs as a singer, he has also become a TV fixture.

After becoming the co-host of The Xtra Factor, he graduated to his own series, Olly: Life on Murs, in 2012. Olly Murs: The Biography follows his journey from suburbia to stardom and beyond.

It explores how a seemingly ordinary and grounded Essex boy was determined to follow his dream - and strong and shrewd enough to survive the heady world of entertainment.

Along the way, we see how his promising first career as a semi-pro footballer was halted and we discover how he deals with the pros and cons of a celebrity lifestyle.
