Olly Murs divides ITV viewers with NTAs performance as they say 'please don't make me listen'

During the star-studded 2024 National Television Awards, ITV audiences were treated to a performance by singer Olly Murs. Host Joel Dommett introduced the 40 year old artist, who captivated the crowd with a medley of his hits including Dear Darlin', Heart Skips a Beat, Dance With Me Tonight, and Troublemaker.

The celebrities in attendance appeared to enjoy Murs' musical showcase, but reactions on Twitter were mixed following his stage appearance. One viewer expressed their displeasure bluntly: "PLEASE don't make me listen to Olly Murs any longer."

Another was less than impressed, tweeting: "Olly Murs is f***ing dreadful," and one more added: "#ollymurs is painfully boring #NTA."

Conversely, many fans were delighted to see Olly back in the spotlight, with one tweeting: "This is more like it! I Love Olly," reports the Express. Others praised his showmanship: "Olly knows how to put on a performance," and some remained loyal fans: "Olly Murs should have won X Factor in 09. I still stand by it."

After his performance, Olly's joy was evident as he beamed with satisfaction. It marked his first time performing at the NTA, where he entertained attendees with his vibrant set. In anticipation of his act, the NTA's official Facebook page had announced that Olly was marking 15 years since he first appeared on the X Factor.

It comes as the ITV host for the evening kicked off the ceremony in an unusual fashion as Joel erupted into a musical number.

He decided to pay tribute to some of the tv shows and celebrities nominated by mentioning them in a song, which included the likes of Ant & Dec, Davina McCall and Bradley Walsh.

There was also a moment where Strictly Come Dancing's Anton Du Beke joined him on stage to dance.
