Olly Murs has confessed that it is tough being a male artist from The X Factor.
The singer insisted that he still has more to achieve in his career, despite huge sales of his second studio album In Case You Didn't Know.
Murs told the Daily Star: "When you do an arena tour it proves you've got a real fanbase. Being a male artist on The X Factor is tough – there hasn't been many success stories from it."
He added: "I still feel like I have more to achieve, but to get to this point two years after coming off the show means a lot."
Murs recently confirmed that his new single 'Oh My Goodness' will be officially released in the UK on April 1 with B-side 'Don't Say Goodnight Yet'.
