Olly Murs and Amelia Tank will get married on a small private island in Essex

It seems there’s no place like for Olly Murs. He is tying the knot on a private island – in his native Essex.

The singer-songwriter could have chosen an exotic spot anywhere in the world, but instead has plumped for a summer wedding at the secluded Osea Island in the Blackwater estuary.

Former X Factor star Olly 38, will wed Amelia Tank at the 380-acre beauty spot which boasts its own beach front.

It has garnered popularity among celebrities, earning itself the nickname “English Necker Island” in reference to Sir Richard Branson’s luxury Caribbean home.

Over the years, big names such as Rihanna, Stormzy, Jessie J, and The Weeknd have visited Osea, either to use its recording studios or for private performances.

It is the property of music producer Nigel Frieda, brother to famed hairdresser John, who bought it 23 years ago for £6million.

The site frequently hosts music festivals and can only be accessed for four hours a day via a private causeway.

And it seems the location was a no-brainer for the Troublemaker singer.

According to an insider: “Olly is proud of his Essex roots, so the chance to marry at home, while also offering an exclusive and isolated location, was an ideal blend.

“The island’s relaxed, vacation-like atmosphere will make guests feel they’re overseas. Olly is excitedly looking forward to sharing his big day with loved ones.”

The Dance With Me Tonight star proposed to Amelia last summer on a Cornish cliff, three years after they met.

Next month he embarks on his appropriately named “Marry Me” tour – but he is keen to help with the preparations.

He said: “I like to have a hand in things. It’s important to have a vision, and I have one for the wedding. Amelia and I agreed we’d plan it together… I’m more heavily involved than I initially thought I’d be.”

Wedding fever is also building for Amelia, 30, who posted a photo of her hen party on Instagram last week, saying: “Hen No1 complete. Couldn’t have asked for a more special day and feeling like the luckiest girl ever today!”
