Olly Murs and Mark Wright had a brilliant day out at Wimbledon on Thursday, but it was Olly’s unusual floral suit that seemed to get fans talking more than anything else
Olly Murs was spotted among the celebrities enjoying some tennis action at this year’s Wimbledon tournament, rubbing shoulders with stars like Fleur East, Rachel Stevens and Nicole Scherzinger.
The new dad was joined by his best mate Mark Wright for the day out. The pair, who are known to be good friends, also spent time together last month in Germany during the Euros, where they even composed a hilarious song for the football tournament.
The duo seemed to have a blast in South London, but it was Olly’s unique floral suit that stole the show and sparked conversation among fans. In a funny slow-motion video shared on his Instagram, Olly and Mark can be seen strutting down the green carpet into the venue, donning their sunglasses. Mark opted for a simple beige trouser suit.
However, Olly’s outfit was far from ordinary. He turned heads in white and blue floral trousers paired with a matching jacket, reports. The former X Factor star’s fashion choice received mixed reactions from fans under his social media post. Many praised the duo’s ‘great suits’ and remarked that the two pals were “looking great”. However, not everyone was as impressed with Olly’s eye-catching outfit.
One cheekily quipped: “Wetherspoons called, they want their plate back,” complete with a laughing emoji. Another jested: “Olly’s nanny wants her curtains back”, while someone else added: “Outfit gifted by Dunelm’s curtain department.” And another chimed in with: “It’s giving me Willow Pattern…”
The pop sensation likely shrugged off the playful jibes with good humour. And there’s no shortage of affection for Olly and Mark.
One admirer cautioned: “Double trouble”, another expressed: “Your friendship and banter is amazing, made my day. ” A third shared: “Bloody love you two together, you need your own show definitely!”
Their appearance at Wimbledon followed a raucous celebration of England advancing to the 2024 semi-finals on Sunday, after the Euros match. Olly and Heart Radio host Mark got caught up in the excitement, behaving like “hooligans”, as captured by Mark’s wife, the star of Fool Me Once, Michelle, who filmed them post-victory against Sweden, according to OK!.
Michelle posted the video on Instagram with the caption: “Who are these hooligans?” In it, Mark and Olly, faces adorned with England flags, can be seen exuberantly cheering “come on!” at passing cars on their way home from the game.
Upon spotting Michelle, an ecstatic Mark couldn’t contain his excitement and darted across the road, narrowly missing the oncoming traffic. A different angle captured by Olly, the singer behind the hit ‘Heart Skips a Beat’, shows a playful Mark lifting Michelle up and twirling her around, much to her delight.
