Olly Murs has gushed with joy at the return of Justin Timberlake.

As previously reported, the former 'N Sync star recently announced his return to music following a number of years pursuing acting and other endeavours.

He unleashed the track 'Suit & Tie' and confirmed the release of new album 'The 20/20 Experience' for later this year.

The news seems to have tickled Olly Murs, who took to Twitter late last night (January 15) to reveal his unbridled excitement at the "epic" return of Timberlake. He said:

"JT is BACK.. I heard through grapevine but didn't expect it this soon.. I've always been a huge fan.. Can't wait for album.. Gunna be EPIC!"

The 'Right Place, Right Time' man added: "Sitting here watching Justin Timberlake on his Justified tour on You TUBE..I remember going! Old skool college days!"
