Olly Murs had a bit of a rough time at his recent show in Liverpool, part of his 15 Years Of Hits tour. The singer faced some boos from the crowd after making a bold admission about his sports allegiance. The packed M&S Bank Arena was filled with fans eager to see the X Factor star perform his back catalogue of songs and enjoy some cheeky interactions with the audience.
During the show, Olly’s long-serving band member took the opportunity to embarrass him by sharing a photo from the singer’s career. As a picture of Olly touching the This Is Anfield sign at Liverpool FC’s home ground appeared on the screen, cheers erupted from the Liverpool supporters in the crowd. However, things took a turn when Olly revealed that he is actually a Manchester United fan, prompting boos from the Everton fans present. Despite the playful jeering, Olly took it all in stride, jokingly asking if he should leave the stage.
The night continued with Olly celebrating his 41st birthday by performing a medley of 80s hits and delivering a moving tribute to his late friend and X Factor co-host, Caroline Flack. The emotional moment came as he sang “Dear Darling,” a song dedicated to Flack, whom he thinks about every day. Fans joined in, shining their phone lights and singing along, creating a standout moment in an otherwise lively and fun-filled show. The evening was a mix of laughter, music, and heartfelt moments, showcasing Olly’s ability to connect with his audience on a personal level.
