Olly Murs’ wife Amelia has shared worrying news about the couple’s 17-month-old daughter Madi.
Posting on Instagram earlier today (November 24), Amelia revealed their daughter Madi, 17 months, has been “so poorly”.
And it just happens to have coincided with singer Olly being away to promote his new album, Knees Up.
Amelia Murs shares worrying news
Amelia – who only gave birth to baby Albert in September – revealed that not only has Madi been poorly, she has too.
Posting a picture on her Stories of Madi cuddling up to her mum, Amelia shared: “What a fckin year this last week has been. Never seen Madi so poorly and upset. But we’re back from the docs again with something that will hopefully help.”
She then added: “I also feel horrific. Being ill when you’re a parent of two under two deffo hits differently. Cannot wait to have my husband back today.”
Olly’s mum steps in
With Olly on the promo trail, Amelia revealed that she’s had some help from the singer’s mum, Vicky, and his sister, Fay.
Amelia shared a picture of two takeaway food containers, with “Mummy” and “Madi” written on the top, along with heating instructions.
Amelia captioned that: “Thank god for my mother-in-law who’s been round helping me out loads and my sister-in-law for dropping off some meals on wheels.”
‘It’s nice to step out of parenting’
Olly, meanwhile, was on BBC Breakfast earlier today, before doubtless heading home to, quite literally, hold the baby.
Speaking on the show, Olly revealed that stepping away from the nappies and back into the studio provided a bit of respite for him.
He shared: “Life has truly changed and writing this album – the 12 songs on the album are the only times I could be a bit of a lad and stay a little bit later in the studio and have some fun.
“I like my moments, just going out with friends. Sometimes when you become a parent you’re so involved in that, it’s nice to just step out of that and have some time with your friends. To talk over your problems and things you’re going through as a dad.”
Olly didn’t get much sympathy from those watching home, though. Instead, they savaged his appearance on the show.
We reckon he’d have been in for more of the same from Amelia, if he left her holding down the fort with a sick kid for much longer!
