Olly Murs reveals incredible weight loss and ripped physique after physical and ‘mental transformation’
OLLY Murs' ripped physique and incredible weight loss has been revealed in what has been dubbed a complete physical and "mental transformation."
The Voice judge's fitness trainer, Rob Solly, took to his Instagram page to reveal before-and-after images of his progress during the past five months.
Olly, 38, has previously spoken about his weight loss and feeling "grumpy" and "not himself."
In the new images, he is seen looking glum in the before snap while in the after shot, he flashes a beaming smile.
The X Factor star's trainer explained Olly's hard work in a lengthy caption, which told how the benefits had been more than just rock hard abs.
He wrote: "A transformation focuses on the physical but what makes these pictures special to me is the mental aspect of @ollymurs journey in the last 5 months.

"In all honesty, he’s done this physical transition before, several times.
"But after his last leg operation six months ago Olly wasn’t the bundle of energy and optimism that he had been previously.
"Having got himself in amazing shape in 2021 and ready to hit the road complications with Olly’s knee (from an ACL injury over a decade ago) began to arise and the really tough decision to go back ‘under the knife’ was taken.
"Olly was now on crutches for weeks and when I went round there to train he doubted he could ever get into the shape & attain the fitness levels he’d had only months earlier."

He added: "Some sessions weren’t as they’d been before, with Olly recently telling me he’d be so pissed off when I’d ask him to do chin ups etc during the the sessions.
";But even though the atmosphere in a few of our sessions was tense Olly showed up every Monday and Friday.
"Brick by brick this started to change, the artist I’d known who always challenged himself during our sessions began to resurface.
"The music got a little louder, the training top got a little looser & it wasn’t long before Olly added a boxing session and a swim session to his training. He was self motivated. Adding a weekly session at @viphq to the mix too."
He concluded:Last week we talked about this mental journey & I appreciated his honesty & ability to be candid. So to me these pictures mean little, what means a lot is to have the energy, confidence, happiness & belief back in @ollymurs
"Someone who brightens the room for so many people. Olly I’m super proud of you, you did this, you make stuff happen (11:11) & I can’t wait for the world to hear your new album.
"Not forgetting all of Team Murs. John Green physio (king of the rowing machine), @dansargeant.performancechef whose supplements & cooking definitely helped get through the ‘hump.’ And of course the future Mrs Murs @tankintraining whose macro discipline, example setting & constant love & motivation made this picture happen."
Fans were quick to comment, with one gushing: "Wow! That’s epic!"
A second put: "Absolutely love this! Congrats @ollymurs on the mental determination to pull through & @rob_solly as always your deep training!"
Olly - who began dating bodybuilder Amelia in 2019 - has previously credited his weight loss to her "brilliant" encouragement and nutrition plan as his "personal trainer".
Olly talked about his girlfriend's help while discussing his trimmed-down physique on
He explained: "She’s not a personal trainer but she’s done bikini competitions in the past and she does train a lot, but she is actually my personal trainer."
Olly joked, "In more ways than one, " before adding in a more serious tone: "She’s brilliant and she’s been absolutely fantastic.
"She just gave me that extra little bit of encouragement and she says, 'it’s not up to me to do it, you’ve got to be able to do it yourself. You’ve got to get up to do it every day.' So I was like, 'okay I will.'"
The Wrapped Up singer went on: "So she did this little nutritional plan for me and I just went out and did it and I loved it. And I still love it now."
He began dating City worker and former bodybuilding champ Amelia last January and got very serious with her over the summer.
Olly himself recently unveiled the results of his fitness and diet overhaul in a before and after snap showing the progress he'd made in just eight weeks.

“The pic on the left was 2nd January! I was like 'f**k me I look massive' weight was doing me no favours, grumpy, no energy, sleeping was awful so I made some adjustments."
