Olly Murs’ gift worries


Olly Murs is worried about buying his girlfriend a Christmas present.

The ‘Troublemaker’ hitmaker has been in a relationship with Francesca Thomas for 18 months and is concerned about doing his gift shopping because he is "rubbish" at choosing things for other people.

He said: "When you have a girlfriend it’s even harder because you’ve got to get extra presents and I’m rubbish at buying them. It’s always going to be difficult."

After a busy year, Olly – who will embark on a huge arena tour in 2015 – is looking forward to returning to Essex to spend the festive season with Francesca and his family.

He told Britain’s OK! magazine: "Essex is a great place for me. I love it there. It’s very quiet and I know everyone there.

"It’s a bid sad really but I kind of like being at home chilling out."

Olly recently admitted he pays himself a modest salary because he worries about losing everything in the future.

He said: "I’ve given myself a salary recently, because I think it’s important. For the first two years I was like, ‘Yeah I’ll buy that and this. Mum, what do you want? I’ll get it for you.’

"But then you watch shows like ‘The Big Reunion’ and it opens your eyes to realise that this can all go so quickly, and you’ve got to be wise with your money."
