Olly Murs is set to marry his bodybuilder girlfriend Amelia Tank on Saturday after three years together.
The couple are tying the knot on Essex’s Osea Island in a festival-themed ceremony, 13 months after the X Factor star proposed.
Olly and Amelia who met on Instagram in 2019, went public with their romance in 2020, and enjoyed a total of four stag and hen parties between them ahead of their nuptials.
The couple’s big day will take place at a stunning venue on the small 380-acre island, which is owned by music producer Nigel Frieda.
Preparations are already well underway on the island, which can only be accessed for a few hours a day due to the estuary that surrounds it.

The island was reportedly rented by hitmaker Rihanna in 2019 so she could work on her new album.
Just last week, Olly admitted he’d turned into a ‘groomzilla’ after discovering a love of flowers and irritating his wedding planner.
Olly told The Mirror: ‘I’m a groomzilla. I never expected it, I thought I’d be the opposite. I’m like, ‘No, no, no. Get rid of that, change that, move that.’
‘I didn’t know I cared so much about what the flowers look like but, honest to God, if I’m reincarnated, I’m coming back as a florist.’
The singer joked: ‘There’s a lady helping us plan the wedding and I said to her, ”I don’t want ugly chairs, you know those horrible school chairs that are horrendous”. She said, ”Olly, I’ve been doing this for a long time…”’
