Olly Murs has opened up about the anxiety he felt regarding the birth of his newborn daughter, Maddison, due to his work commitments. 

The Troublemaker singer and his wife, Amelia Tank, welcomed their baby girl in April, and as they navigate their new life as a family of three, Olly has discussed the challenges of balancing fatherhood with his busy career.

In a heartfelt conversation on Giovanna Fletcher’s podcast Happy Mum Happy Baby, he revealed that he initially feared he might miss the birth. 

“We were almost of the opinion that I might not be there, so I needed someone to be with Amelia,” he said. 

However, he found a silver lining in the situation when Amelia underwent an unplanned c-section, which ultimately gave him more time to prepare for the arrival of their daughter. 

“I thought, ‘Do you know what? We’ve got time now to prepare and get ready for that,'” he shared, highlighting how the experience brought a surprising sense of positivity amid the uncertainty.

Murs shared how the unexpected timing of his daughter Maddison’s birth allowed him and his wife, Amelia Tank, to better prepare for their new arrival. 

“It gave us time to prepare a little bit better,” he explained, noting that if the birth had been natural, it could have come two weeks early or late.

However, even though he was present for the birth of his first child, Olly faced the emotional challenge of leaving her and their newborn just minutes after becoming a father to perform with Take That on their UK tour. 

“Yeah, that was hard,” he admitted. “I knew Mila’s mum was there, which always gave me comfort, but I also knew Amelia was on her own.”

With a heavy heart, he pushed through, saying, “If I overthink this, I’m going to cry my eyes out all the way to the gig.” 

Ultimately, he told Amelia, “I’m really sorry, babe, but I’ve got to go,” showcasing the difficult balancing act of juggling his family commitments with his career.

Speaking to E! News, the Only Murders in the Building actress said, “I would tell her to just calm down, everything’s going to be fine on the other side.”

Moreover, Selena shared her views on working with co-star Zoe Saldana in the new movie.

“She is like Mama Bear. She’s the sweetest soul and she just was really great to do scenes with,” continued the songstress.

Selena remarked, “She was always talking me through it… She was a wonderful woman.”

Meanwhile, Selena added the movie did inspire her “musically” but she’s not sure “when I am going to get back in the lab”.

“I am enjoying the acting side at the moment,” she concluded.

The Duke of Sussex decided to say goodbye to the UK after receiving a strong message from Prince William who joined David Beckham at a charity event and shunned Harry’s awards.

Harry, who’s on solo trip to the country of his birth, flied to South Africa after finishing his job in Britain. 

He was said to be heartbroken after William’s latest snub as source close to the Duke claimed: “Harry might be upset after his brother’s latest move.”

“It’s really heartbreaking or painful when you have got very close to achieving what you wanted, but in the end you just failed.”

“King Charles and William’s messages on Harry’s birthday raised hope of reconciliation, but it seemingly failed to produced the desired result.”

The Prince of Wales carried out royal duties in London on Tuesday and was pictured with David Beckham, who’s said to be not on good terms with Harry theses days.

The future King’s move seems to be a strong message and latest blow to the Duke who failed to melt down his royal relatives hearts.

Prince Harry’s whirlwind trip to the UK for the WellChild Awards has followed a similar pattern to his September 2023 visit when the father-of-two attended the WellChild Awards on September 7 but flew to Germany the next day ahead of the opening day of the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf on September 9.

Harry is flying to South Africa for events in support of his charity Sentebale for a gathering of business leaders, philanthropists and local stakeholders, aimed at driving forward the work of his youth-focused charity, supporting the digital and economic inclusion of the next generation in the country.
