The couple captioned their joint post: “Our mini murs has arrived.

“Madison we love you so much already x.”

Despite being on a 41-day tour with Take That’s Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, and Howard Donald, Olly has made arrangements to ensure he can be there for Amelia if she goes into labor. He explained that he has designated days off during the tour, allowing him to return promptly if needed.

Olly expressed his intention to prioritize family time once the baby arrives, mentioning plans for Amelia and the baby to join him at some stadium shows scheduled for the summer.

Olly expressed his excitement about starting a family with Amelia, sharing that they both feel prepared and eager to embrace parenthood. Reflecting on their journey, he described the process as natural and beautiful, expressing hopes for a baby who sleeps well. He mentioned receiving advice about establishing a good routine for the baby once they arrive.

Their relationship began when Olly reached out to fitness enthusiast Amelia via Instagram in 2020. They decided to move in together during the COVID lockdown, and in June 2022, they announced their engagement.

The pair tied the knot in July 2023, saying “I do” as part of a two-day festival on the private Osea Island in Essex.

Caroline’s family and friends have just unveiled the lineup of performers and special guests for the festival’s third edition.

Among the headlining acts announced are Olly, All Saints’ Shaznay Lewis, Rebecca Ferguson, Tom Walker, Chesney Hawkes, and New Dad.

The event is set to take place in the picturesque grounds of Englefield, the Elizabethan House, and estate near Pangbourne in Berkshire.

Olly, who has graced the festival’s finale twice before, expressed his excitement, stating, “It’s going to be amazing to be back at Flackstock this year. For the past two years, I’ve been there for the closing of the night and performed ‘Sweet Caroline.’ But this year, we are doing a full set for the crowd, and I can’t wait to perform at this day festival in Caroline’s memory.”

“This isn’t just a gig – it’s something that’s raised nearly half a million pounds for four brilliant charities and it’s a pleasure to be there to help raise even more for them on behalf of Caz.”

Caroline, who was the former host of Love Island, tragically died by suicide in 2020.

Both Olly and Caroline were close friends, and even presented a series of The X Factor together.

He broke down in tears on stage last year as he sang Sweet Caroline in her honour, telling fans: “I lost a very good friend of mine, someone that I love very, very much.

“Her name is Caroline Flack and it is one of the toughest things that has happened in my life and it is really sad to see someone so amazing leave us but she has never left and she is always in my heart.”

As well as Flackstock’s big performers, stage appearances on the day will include everybody’s favourite fitness and health inspiration Joe Wicks who will lead the crowd for a special moment.

“It’s truly incredible to see the ongoing support for Flackstock as we head into our third year. We’re thrilled to have raised close to £500,000 over the past two years for four incredible charities.

“The funds raised from Flackstock 2024 will once again be split equally among Choose Love, Mind, Samaritans, and Charlie Waller Trust—charities that were dear to Caroline’s heart.

“Caroline’s mother, Christine, expressed her disbelief and gratitude, stating, ‘I can’t believe we are in our third year and have Olly performing a full set this time round.’ This year’s event promises to be another memorable and impactful occasion.”

“It’s truly incredible to see the festival returning for a third year, especially after the tremendous success we experienced last year. The amount of money we raised for these wonderful charities exceeded our wildest expectations and is a fitting tribute to my beloved Caroline.

“Carrie was always at her happiest and most herself when she was at a music festival surrounded by her sister and friends. To have the support of such fantastic artists for the third time is remarkable, and I’m confident that this year’s event will be just as unforgettable. It’s a day that shouldn’t be missed.”

“A big thank you to everyone involved for all their hard work – Giles Cooper Entertainment and Englefield House and to all the brilliant sponsors.

“My family are so proud that so many people who knew Carrie loved her so very much. And celebrating her life and raising money for the charities once again will be a fantastic event for us all. We hope you can join us.”
