Olly Murs has admitted that he tries to keep quiet about his relationships during an interview focusing on his love life.

The 27-year-old, who this week was announced as the support act for One Direction’s US tour, told Heatworld that he likes to keep his personal life private when asked why he hadn’t been seen out on the town with any girls:

He said: “I keep it quiet when I’m with a girl. I’ve been seeing girls, and getting on with girls, but I just don’t take them out to one of the big clubs. If I took a girl to Mahiki, or to Whisky Mist in Central London, then we’re going to get papped.”

The 'Heart Skips A Beat star,' who cheekily asked for Cheryl Cole’s number on Twitter recently, also revealed he prefers to do more low-key activities such as ice-skating or bowling rather then going to clubs when on a date:

“I like going out with them in the country. Obviously some people like going out with girls they’re seeing, and that’s fine. But you can go wherever you like with a girl, as long as you’re with fun people, if she sees you bantering with your mates and having a good laugh, she’ll think you’re cool.”

But the Xtra Factor host, who last year confessed that he had a ‘friend with benefits,’ went onto claim that he currently ‘doesn’t have time for a girlfriend’ due to his hectic work schedule.
