Olly Murs is one of the hot favourites to win this year's X Factor, the talent show that is one of the most popular television programs in the UK, with upwards of 10 million viewers per week.

Olly is twenty-five years old, comes from Essex and for his day job, he works in an office, advising customers how to cut down on their energy bills.

A bit different to singing and dancing in front of an audience of millions!

Olly definitely has something about him that could lead to him being the winner of the show. He comes across as a bit of a "cheeky chappie" and it is obvious that all the other contestants and the judges of the show like him personally, as well as admiring his performing skills.
