Olly Murs would have "happily" gone back to working in sales if his music career didn't work out. Olly - who shot to fame when he came second in the sixth series of 'The X Factor' in 2009 - has insisted that his Plan B would have been to return to his sales job if he failed at music. He told Radio Times magazine: "I would happily have gone back to doing sales."

EMI Records co-president Jo Charrington - who previously worked with Olly when he first signed to Sony - commented: “I’m THRILLED to be working with Olly again.
