Olly Murs brought the house down at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena this week with a performance that left fans both emotional and dancing along.

At one point, however, the 40-year-old Essex-born star, currently on his 15 Years of Hits tour, had the crowd booing after he let his cheeky chappy side show while interacting with the audience at his sold-out gig.

Midway through his energetic set, the former X Factor contestant stopped the show to reveal a Liverpool FC sign on the big screens, which inevitably sent his Evertonian fans into a frenzy. 

The chart-topping singer was in stitches during the segment where he gives his long-serving band a chance to embarrass him.

The former Voice UK judge was quick to tell his Murs Army: ’At this part of the show, I have absolutely no idea what is about to appear on that screen.’

To add to the frenzy of the booing crowd, he went on to add: ‘This will probably get the biggest boo of the night. I am a Manchester United fan.’

The star was cracking up at the louder boos from the audience and jeered, ‘Shall I go?’.

Thankfully for his paying fans, though, Olly stayed to perform more of his much-loved pop hits.

Wednesday’s performance showcased hits from across his career, including Dance With Me Tonight, Dear Darlin’ and Heart Skips a Beat, alongside a few of his new tunes.

Olly had a major transformation ahead of his UK tour, wowing fans on Instagram as he shared a post showing off his new physique.

His six-pack surprised his 4.8million followers as he shared that he is ‘pumped and ready to get on the road’.
