Olly Murs grateful for One Direction US tour opportunity, says 'America is a challenge'

'Heart Skips A Beat' hitmaker Olly Murs has admitted that while he's excited about heading to the USA to support One Direction on tour, he is nervous because breaking America is tough.

The star spoke to MTV News about his expectations of the stateside dates and revealed that it was an opportunity he simply couldn't turn down:

"One Direction have been brilliant in allowing me to go on tour with them and I get on really well with the guys so yeah, it's going to be exciting. They are causing loads of hype and hysteria everywhere they go so to be invited along it's going to be fun."

"Hopefully I can convert them [their fans] into the Murs army and the Ollyettes so if they can be converted, that will be great. There's always room for everyone, but for me, America is just a good challenge and fingers crossed the song does well and if it does, it will be amazing!"
