Olly Murs booed on stage after awkward admission and offers to leave own concert

Olly Murs has been touring the country performing for loyal fans, but one recent gig saw the crowd boo him while on stage as he made a wild confession that left concertgoers jeering

Olly Murs' own fans booed him while watching him perform.

Liverpool Echo revealed that during a concert for his 15 Years of Hits Tour, the former X Factor star let his band "embarrass" him on stage by sharing a photo with the crowd.


He informed fans: "On this part of the show, I have absolutely no idea what is about to appear on that screen."


Murs laughed as he realised his band had chosen a picture of him touching the This Is Anfield sign at Liverpool FC. The crowd were divided as Liverpool FC fans cheered, while opposition supporters let boos ring out through the M&S Bank Arena.

However, Olly's next bombshell left them all stunned: "Of course, this will probably get the biggest boo of the night. I am a Manchester United fan." He was faced with more jeers as he smiled and asked: "Shall I go?"

"My gosh could you IMAGINE if this headline belonged to a female. But no, my husband's got to just take this one on the chin."
