SPIDER MAN
OLLY Murs has come face to face with a scary home visitor while in coronavirus lockdown.
The singer, 35, shared a video of a huge spider hanging it in an outdoor sink at his Essex mansion.
Olly exclaimed in the Instagram story: "Phoar, look at the size of that spider. You alright, son?"
He is publicly known to be terrified of spiders once saying, "every time I see a spider I think it's going to kill me".
In a 2018 video, he freaks out when singer Travis McCoy plays a magic trick on him by placing a fake spider on the back of his hand.
"I hate spiders," he said on Instagram at the time.
The X-Factor finalist is in lockdown at his Essex home on a government mandate to only leave the house for essential shopping and one form of exercise a day to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
He is in lockdown with fitness fanatic girlfriend, Amelia Tank.
Their time hunkered down in Essex avoiding coronavirus has been a hit, with Olly asking Amelia to make the move permanent.
A source close to the singer said: “He hadn’t had a serious relationship for a good few years before Amelia came along because he was waiting for the right girl.
The source added: “Now he feels he has found that woman.
“He is so happy and everything is going really well.
“They spend all their time together so it was the natural progression for her to move in, and there is plenty of room.”
“Usually they are both so busy and it can be tricky to spend a lot of time together."

The source added: “But now they are making the most of their quality time as a couple and absolutely loving it.”
But the permanent move might not have happened at all after Olly played a cruel prank on his girlfriend of almost a year.
He pretended to recreate an online challenge where a man lowers a woman over a pool then picks her up again — but he pushed fully-clothed Amelia in.
He captioned the clip on Instagram: “I think I’m losing my girlfriend.”
