With a cheeky chappy' persona to match Robbie Williams and vocals reminiscent of original Pop Idol Will Young, former call centre worker Olly Murs was one of the success stories of the 2009 series of The X Factor, finishing runner-up to Joe McElderry in the hotly contested final. Born in Essex in 1984, Murs showed little interest in singing whilst at school, focusing his attention on football, where he played for the school team and later semi-professionally for local non-league team Witham Town. In 2007, he appeared on Deal Or No Deal, where he won a lowly £10, but it was his performance of Stevie Wonder's Superstition' on the sixth series of The X Factor, which enabled him to show off his talents. Mentored by Simon Cowell in the live stages, he wowed judges with renditions of songs by The Beatles, Queen and George Michael and soon became the favourite to win the show. However, despite a duet with musical hero Robbie Williams in the final, Murs finished a respectable second. In 2010, he signed a six-figure record deal with Epic/ Syco Music and embarked on the sell-out X Factor Arena Tour. After being personally invited by Williams to play at the televised charity football event Soccer Aid, Murs released his first single, the Jason Mraz-inspired Please Don't Let Me Go,' in August. His debut album, featuring songs written by Eg White, Scouting For Girls' Roy Stride and Wayne Hector, is expected to be released in 2011.
