The Troublemaker singer revealed in March that he sought therapy after enduring a terrifying panic attack while appearing on TV.

Olly told how he was left struggling for breath during the worrying ordeal which happened as he was about to perform on The Graham Norton Show.

A firm favourite with viewers of The Voice, he recently claimed Simon Cowell has been trying to lure him back to rival talent show The X Factor – but Olly reckons he has more chemistry with the judges he currently works with.

According to reports, Olly was offered £3 million to return for last year’s series. It is thought the position he turned down was eventually filled by Robbie Williams.
