Olly Murs might be touring America with One Direction

  • March 7, 2012
  • Mikey

Bad news 'guys', Olly Murs might not be on your TV screens every weekend from August to December this year.

The Xtra Factor co-host is being tempted away from the slot to support One Direction on future US tour dates.

A trust­worthy 'source' said: “Olly's team are still working on a US launch date for his album, 'In Case You Didn't Know'. The ideal time would coincide with a tour."

The Sun report that bigwigs at ITV are so pleased with the Murs/Flack ‘chemistry’ that they may permit him to miss the filming of the audition rounds and return for the live shows.
