The Voice star Olly Murs, 36, has raged how it is “unbelievable” he was told he couldn’t share his X Factor audition from 2009 on his Instagram page today. The Troublemaker singer admitted he had been “banned” from sharing his video on social media because it is owned by ITV and would be breaching their copyright rules.
It’s me in the f****ng video!

After Olly was told to delete the moment his success began on the ITV show, the singer discussed his thoughts on his Instagram story.
Speaking to his 3.3 million followers, Olly divulged: “I’ve just had to delete my audition on The X Factor ’cause apparently there’s a dispute between X Factor or something that I can’t use their content.
“Er, hello? It’s me in the f***ing video!,” he declared.
“Unbelievable. So I can’t post my audition that I did on X Factor because it’s been banned by them.
