Olly Murs confessed in a cheeky Instagram Q&A that he named his newborn daughter after a famous footballing friend.The Troublemaker singer was driving to Essex when he decided to hop on Instagram to answer some questions about his life.

Several of the questions were about becoming a new parent. One of the questions asked specifically: “How did you and Amelia decide on Madi’s name?” Olly answered with a grin saying: “So a friend of mine James Madison played for Spurs and I've always loved his name, loved the name Madison. “I actually really really loved it for a boy, so I put it down on our little names list thing and I said to Amelia [his wife] I've got this name, I think it would be really nice for a boy or a girl, preferably a boy.” That’s when trouble arose because Amelia pushed back saying it was not a good name for a boy at all.

However, she did like it for a girl. Luckily for Olly, they had a baby girl, and he said: “When Madison was born we were like ‘she’s a Madi,’ so there it is.” Another fan of the Heart Skips a Beat singer asked how he was finding parenthood, and Olly couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear.

He said: “It really has blown my mind.” He added: “Most days I look at her and think ‘God, we made this.’ She’s only coming up to 11 weeks old, but I love it.” He also said she has started smiling and recognising him, and he is loving every minute of it.
