Olly Murs has a hectic schedule in the coming months as he juggles his arena tour with raising his newborn daughter Madison.
The singer, 39, and his wife Amelia, 31, welcomed their first child two weeks ago, with Madison’s arrival coinciding with the start of his tour with Take That.
Olly is the support act for Take That’s This Life On Tour and will be performing at major venues across the UK until June before hitting the road again for the festival season.
But Olly proves he is committed to his new family and races home to Essex after performances to spend time with Amelia and Madison.
After performing in front of thousands of people at London’s O2 Arena on Friday night, Olly came back to reality and changed Madison’s nappy.

Olly shared a carousel of photos from his night on stage, culminating in a sweet new photo of him and his daughter at the changing table. Olly joked on Instagram: “What my Friday nights are like these days (swipe to the end).”
During his performance on Friday night, Olly told the audience how he was juggling diapers and late nights, but feels guilty about working away from home.
‘It’s been the craziest time. Because on the one hand, of course, I have a beautiful baby girl, my wife takes care of her at home with the diapers and the sleepless nights.
‘And I’m on tour with Take That. I feel guilty!’
In the exclusive clip obtained via MailOnline, Olly continued: ‘But this week I’ve been home. I’ve done the diapers, I’ve done the late nights and I can’t wait to stay on tour.
‘It’s a joke! Honestly, she’s really great. I never thought I would become a father, so I can’t quite believe it.
Olly pointed to his manhood and shouted, ‘It works! And really, I’m super, super proud. And to be on this tour just tops it off. So what a great time for me right now.”
He added: So this next part for me, when I went on tour, I was like, I just want to play a lot of my songs that hopefully some of you will remember.
Proving he’s committed to his new family, Olly races home to Essex after performances to spend time with Amelia and Madison.
“And before the baby came along, we actually called this next part the Minnie MURS Medley.
“And so, ladies and gentlemen, if you’ve been following my career since 2009, you’ll remember some of these songs, I hope you enjoy them. This is literally my Super Bowl moment!’
Olly then played fan favorite hits such as Troublemaker, Moves and Dear Darlin’ as he warmed up the crowd for Take That.
Olly and his bodybuilder partner, 31, who married in July last year, announced the arrival of their baby daughter, Maddison, on April 17 and just 48 hours after Amelia gave birth, the singer was back on tour.
Amelia shared a clip of Olly on stage and wrote: ‘I’ve just been feeding our baby Madi and then we see this message. She doesn’t even know yet that she has a super dad. We both miss you very much but are so proud of you @ollymurs.’
