In a different interview with OK! Magazine, he said: ‘I’m not sure I’m going to go for six kids, but of course I’d love to have children.’

The couple tied the knot in a three-day festival-themed wedding 13 months after former The X Factor star proposed.

Olly was unable to hold back his tears as he watched Amelia arrive in her custom-made wedding gown, insisting it was a moment he’ll never forget.

He said: ‘I was blown away by how amazing it was. It was quite magical – the perfect celebration of our love.’

‘I was on the brink of crying at any moment. When my nephews walked down the aisle, I was gone, then when Amelia came in – oh my God! My mum said she hasn’t seen me cry like that since I was four years old!’

Amelia enlisted the help of Australia-based bridal house Pallas Couture for a number of months to perfect her wedding dress.

The garment was decorated with beaded floral embroidery, and featured detached sleeves and a long sweeping train with a floor-length veil.

The wedding, which was nicknamed Murs Fest, saw a number of big musical names perform, including Olly himself and fellow singer Craig David.

A total of 71 people joined the couple on the Friday night for a BBQ before they exchanged vows the following afternoon.
