He wrote: “I hate that I have to write this & really so sorry to let you guys down, but unfortunately, we are having to reschedule our next two shows in Brighton & Hull.

“The gastroenteritis bug I had last night is currently ripping through our band and crew, which makes it impossible to put on a show for you. We’ll be taking a break for 48 hours to ensure everyone can be fit and healthy for the remainder of the tour.

“Thank you for understanding and we’re working hard to bring you news of our rescheduled dates as soon as we can.

“Love Olly x.”

He previously cancelled a gig in Dubai in February at the last minute after being struck down with a throat infection.

However, Olly, 40, was soon back in action and launched a new radio show on Heart with his best pal Mark Wright.

Last week, he revealed he’s expecting baby number two with his wife Amelia, 32, and admitted he was shocked it happened so soon after the birth of their daughter Madison, one.

Speaking to pal Mark – who recently welcomed a daughter of his own with his wife, Michelle Keegan – he said: “Mate, it’s been… you know when you have those weeks where you can’t tell anyone?

“It’s been really exciting news for us both. A shock, we didn’t expect it to happen this quick, but just yeah, amazing.”

He added: “We just want to grow our little family.”

Mark exclaimed: “You should be so proud of yourselves.

“You’re the best mum and dad ever to Maddie, and the fact you’re doing it again, giving her a little sibling, is just sensational.”

He added: “I love you mate, and I love the whole family, and I’m just buzzing for you.”

Olly and Amelia revealed their happy news in an adorable Instagram post.

The former X Factor finalist shared a candid video clip to his 4.8million followers on Instagram.

The short black and white video showed the star on a country walk with his wife and daughter.

Madison wore a jacket emblazoned with the words “Big sis”, while Amelia held Polaroids from her pregnancy scan.

Olly captioned the post: “We’re so egg-cited to share this..… Another Baby Murs on the way.”
