The Essex singer reveals he’s desperate to join his famous friend on tour

It's been less than a week since the X Factor winner was crowned, but Olly's already making plans with none other than superstar Robbie Williams.

The Essex singer, who came second on the show, performed with Robbie Williams in a duet for the semi finals.

The unlikely pair first hit it off during Robbie's mentoring week on the show, and have remained firm friends since.

And now it seems Olly has his sights set on joining Robbie on tour.

If he asked me to support him I'd be over the moon. He's an incredible guy' the X Factor runner up reportedly said.

Superstar Mr Williams announced his long awaited tour dates just this morning, and will be taking his Reality Killed the Video Star album on the road in 2011.

But until he gets the go-ahead to join his famous friend, Olly will have to make do with a kick about at Robbie's luxury LA pad.

The talent show star apparently said: ‘He wants me to go to his house in LA after The X Factor tour. He's got a football pitch in his garden and wants me to come over and play football with him.'
