Olly Murs said photos of his body were prompting photos of his body online and in the media before and after the fitness regime.

Social media users and newspaper columnists have been commenting on what English singers and presenters think before or after.

Thanks to fans for answering in a video posted on his Instagram story after performing in Dublin on Tuesday, admitting it was a "strange day".

"I don't know if you guys have been on social media all the time, but there's a lot of weird things about me about my body and stuff," he noted. "Absolutely crazy."

He continued, "But anyway, keep moving forward. Thank you for cheering me up."

Moores shared a photo of a Daily Mail article on Wednesday, dissecting his transformation from having a “huggable dad” to a more muscular physique.

The article suggests that despite his efforts in the gym, women actually prefer the former.

Moores posted on Instagram subtitles: "I don't usually comment on something like this, but as far as I know, I just want to say that this journey early this year was for many personal reasons, not one of them was causing debate and disagreement."

“So it’s very disappointing to see this kind of report!”

He urged them to "keep the noise" and "ignoring the noise!" by sending love to "everyone who is there" and "to improve himself and adjusting his health."

The media article follows many online discussions about the poll conducted on X, which found that while male users generally think Moores looks better after the fitness regime, women usually say they prefer his previous numbers.
