ITV Commissions Happy Hour With Olly Murs

News Image
ITV has commissioned Happy Hour With Olly Murs, a one-hour special produced by ITV Studios and is set to transmit later this year.

The pop star and coach on The Voice UK will be heading back to his Essex roots as he takes over an entire pub to put on a jam-packed night of games, chat and performances of all his biggest hits. As he celebrates a decade at the top with his sixth album, You Know I Know, set for release on November 9th, it's the ultimate homecoming party with a specially invited audience of friends, family and famous faces.

With the bar packed to the rafters, there will be laughs aplenty as Bradley Walsh steps inside. Emma Willis will be the resident Karaoke Queen as she hosts special singalongs for any game guests that choose to step up to the mic and entertain the crowd. Fellow Voice coach Sir Tom Jones will be dropping in to join in the fun and there will be a very special exclusive duet from Jennifer Hudson and Olly.

With multiple sold out arena tours to his name, there will be truly intimate performances from the multi-platinum selling star as he sings his classic hits as well as songs from his brand-new album. His latest single Moves will be one of those performances with Lady Leshurr taking to the stage alongside him.

Lucky super fans will mingle with the invited audience that will also include Olly's closest friends and family with more special guests to be announced.
