X Factor runner up Olly Murs has been invited to visit Robbie Williams in LA, after the pair clicked during their performance on the show.

Olly has revealed that he and Robbie have become good pals since Robbie first appeared as guest mentor on X Factor and added that the former Take That singer called him after he failed to win the show.

He told The Sun: “Robbie’s a really good mate of mine now. Great lad – we just clicked straight away.

“He rang me and told me he was gutted I didn’t win, but that he wishes me all the best.

“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.

“He’s invited me to Soccer Aid as well, which I’m really chuffed about. I’m living the boyhood dream – I’m going to play at Old Trafford and I’m a massive Man Utd fan. Robbie was amazing to work with and it’s been an absolute pleasure.”
