Watch the moment emotional Olly Murs returns to stage 48hrs after baby’s birth and says ‘it’s my first show as a daddy’
OLLY Murs returned to the stage in Leeds last night as he supported Take That just 48 hours after the birth of his baby girl.
The 39-year-old and wife Amelia, 31, confirmed the arrival of daughter Madison yesterday.
But, ever the professional, Olly honoured his touring commitments to entertain fans while opening up for Take That at the First Direct Arena.
Speaking to the crowd, a beaming Olly said: "What's so amazing about tonight is it's my first show as a daddy.
"I'm going to try and not get emotional. Little Madison is doing really well.
"She’s at home with my lovely wife and it’s a real honour to be here. I wasn’t going to leave you guys hanging tonight, I’ll rush home to see the baby."

Yesterday Olly shared a sweet snap of him and Amelia leaving the hospital with their new arrival.
He captioned the post: "Our mini Murs has arrived. Madison we love you so much already x."
Olly and Amelia got together in 2019 and tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in July last year.
In December the couple announced they were expecting their first child.
The pop star previously revealed the bittersweet reason he waited to become a dad.
Speaking in 2018 about whether he wanted to have children, Olly said: "It's just meeting the right person, isn't it?
"I just want to meet the right person to do right, I don't want to have a sort of dysfunctional household, I don't want to it to be a mess.
"I don't want to have a baby and then for it not to work out with the partner that I'm with, I want it to be special and amazing.
"I want to be there and have a great family, that's what I've got at home."
