The singer - who shot to fame on X Factor in 2009 - spoke to The Times and gave a rundown of his day-to-day life which included probiotic shots and eight-minute ice baths.
Olly, 39, told how he wakes up bright and early at around 8.30am and has a green tea and a "vitamin-boosting berry drink".
He joked that it is crucial for him to start the day right as if he wakes up and has a bacon sandwich the "day is over for him".
Following his smoothie, he has a probiotic and a turmeric shot to reduce inflammation in his knees then heads for a boxing session which lasts one hour.
On the weekends he trains with his competitive bodybuilder wife Amelia Tank, who he married last month.

"My life is pretty hectic and there's not a lot of time for reflection, so my meditation comes from my morning routine.
