Singer Olly Murs has revealed his gay friends have told him he has ‘perfect lips’ to perform oral sex on a man.

The X Factor UK star, who was the show’s runner up in 2009, shocked a reporter from the Star Observer in Sydney when he was questioned about his sexuality.

He said: ‘I’m a straight guy and I date women, but I get on really well with gay guys. I’m very comfortable with my sexuality.
