ITV has commissioned a hour-long musical special featuring X Factor runner-up and award-winning singer Olly Murs.

A Night With Olly Murs will see the singer perform some of his best known hits, such as Dear Darlin’ and Heart Skips A Beat, as well as more recent material from his new album, Never Been Better, including new single Wrapped Up.
 
The Troublemaker singer will be accompanied in the studio by a live band, and the show will feature exclusive celebrity appearances and amusing moments, including some famous-face photobombings and Olly delivering a prank on one of his former co-hosts.
 
Olly will also be paying a visit to a famous soap set, bumping into one of its well-known residents and appearing in his own scene, filmed especially for his show.

 
Murs said: ‘I am so excited about doing my first TV special, it’s going to be an amazing night. The show will be great fun, packed with off the wall comic segments, surprises and, of course, music.’
 
Peter Davey, Commissioning Editor, Entertainment, ITV, added: ‘Olly has been one of The X Factor’s biggest successes and we’re delighted to welcome him back to ITV for his own special show.’
