She didn’t hold back.
We were all delighted for Olly Murs when it was reported last week that he’s got a new lady in his life.
The Sun revealed that the singer was dating TV presenter Melanie Sykes – and that they’d been together for almost a year.
Despite an age gap of fourteen years, the pair had supposedly come together over a love of fitness.
“Mel loves a younger man and really fell for Olly when he got into shape late last year,” a source told the paper.
“They were initially introduced through a mutual friend. They started texting for ages and some of the messages ended up getting quite saucy.
“They were bonding over her fitness programme. He was a fan of her gym selfies and thought that she had an amazing body.”
Sadly, Melanie has confirmed that she’s single, sharing a photo to Instagram.
“To all Those writing shite about me and my life. This is what a single, happy, healthy, 47yrs old independent mother of two teenage sons looks like. DEAL WITH IT!,” she captioned the image.

Whether that means she and Olly were never an item or that they were but have split, we don’t know.
Olly, for his part, has remained silent on the speculation.
