‘He treats her like a princess ‘: Olly Murs is dating Love Island’s Zara McDermott

'Olly is smitten'.

Anna O'Rourke

Ahhh.

We wouldn’t necessarily have put Olly Murs and Zara McDermott together – but they are apparently now a thing.

Olly and the Love Island star met on a night out in Essex recently.

He brought Zara to the filming of The Voice and has started seeing her.

A friend of his told The Sun that there’s a “real chemistry” between the pair.

“Olly is smitten with Zara and it’s not hard to see why.

“He tried to make out they’re just mates but there’s real chemistry between them.

“Now their romance is blossoming into a relationship. He treats her like a princess and is very complimentary about her.”

In true Love Island style, 21-year-old Zara has “turned Olly’s head,” the source continued.

“It takes a lot to get Olly’s attention but Zara has really turned his head.

“Their dates have been out of the public eye and it’s been nice for them to connect on a deeper level without any prying eyes.

“Olly’s mates are desperate for him to find someone to settle down with and Zara seems perfect for him.”

Zara and her Love Island beau Adam Collard split up in February this year.

Olly meanwhile has been single since 2015 when he and girlfriend Francesca Thomas broke up.
