Biography
Amelia is a former city worker and bodybuilder from Plymouth. Clearly a fitness fanatic, the 32-year-old trains multiple times a week including weightlifting and high-intensity training. She also completed the 2013 London Marathon. Amelia came first in the Bikini Tall and Miss Model category in the 2019 Miami Pro Champions, then also won the Bikini Babe Tall Class in the Pure Elite competition.
First meeting
In early 2019, Olly came across Amelia's profile and the two began chatting online, later going on a few days dating, before cooling it off. However, the pair then rekindled their budding romance over the summer. Speaking to The Sun about his new love at the time, Olly gushed: "She's just a great person, full of love, she's caring, sensitive, doesn't suffocate me, lets me be me, loves the fact I'm cheeky and flirty and isn't trying to change that." He added: "I love being around her. She's one of my best mates and then she is my lover and girlfriend."

Asked by Jamie if he and his dad would get an invite to the wedding, Olly replied: "Listen, if, when, I'm sure I'll marry Amelia, when I get married all you guys are invited. 100 percent."
