He continued: ‘Because my album came out last week so I’ve been promoting that, then obviously this, and now I’ve got a Christmas song coming.

Olly has said that he was planning to be much more present this time around, after leaving home just 48 hours after Amelia gave birth the first time to support Take That on tour.
The singer told the crowd at the time how he had been juggling nappies and late nights, but felt guilty he had been working away from home.
He said: ‘It’s been the most craziest time. Cos obviously on one hand I’ve got this beautiful baby girl, my wife is at home looking after her with the nappies, and the sleepless nights.
‘And I’m on tour with Take That. I feel guilty!’
Olly candidly confessed he broke down in tears after he was forced to leave her just two days after her birth.
