The couple welcomed their first child in April 2024 and recently celebrated Maddie's first birthday.

Speaking about being a dad, Olly told Essex Live: "A lot of people said that to me, when you have a child, in some of the moments where you're having difficult days and there's crying and they always say, try and enjoy these moments. I'm like, how can I enjoy it, it's tough, I'm tired!"

He said last month: "Now she's at a really great age at 11 months, she's sleeping well, she's weaning, and that's an even more of a daunting stage because then she starts figuring out, you know, how to eat and what she can swallow. But it's so important to make the most of every day, because time flies so fast."

Olly and Amelia tied the knot in 2023 in a lavish ceremony involving fairground rides and vintage cars.

During an interview with the Times, Olly revealed when he discovered Amelia was "the one", saying: "I always thought that spark when you fall in love was a load of Disney rubbish.

"People would talk about that moment and you'd go, 'Really?' And when it does happen, it's not like it is in films, of course. When that person walks into your life and changes how you feel, you know. She's gorgeous, the love of my life."
