Olly Murs' fiancée bans him from popular tradition on stag do
Olly Murs’s wife-to-be has put her foot down over one classic stag do tradition ahead of their big day later this year.
The 38-year-old singer is set to marry Amelia Tank, 31, in just a few months and Olly has taken a very active part in planning the nuptials.
Speaking to the Sun, he said: “I am a person who likes to be involved in things. You have to have a vision and I have a vision for the wedding.

“Amelia and I wanted to make sure our wedding was a joint thing and we planned it together.
“Most of my mates weren’t particularly bothered but I wanted to be more involved.
“Of course there are some things I’m not bothered about, like what the invitations look like, but the big things I want to know.”
Of course, with the wedding just months away, Olly is also getting ready for his stag do - and Amelia has made it clear that she won’t be happy if one tradition goes ahead.
He told the publication: “Amelia said they’re not allowed to shave any part of my body, especially my hair.
“She said she loves the way I look and told me not to change it.“I told her, ‘Babe, I don’t want to f***ing change it,’ it would be the lads. But luckily we’re not those type of guys.”
You say that now, mate, wait until you’re all eight pints deep and it could be a very different story.
Olly said that his stag will be a small affair, with ‘about seven’ of his pals involved - and it also won’t be as boozy as your average stag do.
“They know I am a good drinker but I want to have a stag that is memorable, that we can all remember,” he said.
“All I said to my best man was, ‘I don’t want to not be able to remember what an amazing stag do this was’.
“I want us to be able to enjoy it as a team. Embrace it, have fun and drink, of course, and play the games, wear the stupid outfits, but I don’t want to be wasted the entire time.
“I want to be able to talk about the stag do on the wedding day and in ten years and say, ‘Wow, that was an amazing time’.
“I’ve been best man for two of my mates and they’re coming on my stag so I am hoping they remember what I was like for them.
“I’ll be drinking fizzy water with ice and telling everyone it’s vodka lemonade.”
And also keep an eye out for any razors, mate.
