“When that person walks into your life and changes how you feel, you know. She’s gorgeous, the love of my life,” he said.
Murs married Amelia Tank, a fitness model, in Essex last year. Their daughter, Madison, was born in April.
Murs posted a picture of him and Amelia walking out of hospital with a baby carrier, saying: “Our mini Murs has arrived.”
