Olly Murs has expressed his disappointment at missing out on a nomination for the British Male BRIT Award.

The Xtra Factor host did manage to land a nod in the British Single category - but he told the Daily Star that he had been gunning for the Male category.

However, he doesn't think he would have won that award anyway - tipping Noel Gallagher to eventually reign supreme when the awards take place on February 21. He said:

"To be nominated for British Single again is great, but I would have liked to have been up for British Male. It would have been nice to be nominated but no way would I have won. However, last year I had two double platinum albums and three No.1 singles, so it would have been nice to have been given a chance. It makes me more determined to work hard this year and hopefully make a new album and maybe get nominated next year."
