ITV show, which kicks off on Saturday September 3. He explained how he decided to quit alcohol, and didn't even toast his recent engagement. Olly got down on one knee and proposed to Amelia Tank during a romantic holiday, but as it was during his year-long stint of being alcohol free, he didn't even enjoy a glass of champagne.
The couple met in the gym and started off as friends, before both of them soon realised they wanted more and they eventually decided to make their romance official. Speaking to The Mirror and other press, he said: "I've not been drinking for a year. I've done 365 days sober.
"It was just a personal thing. I'm not someone who has ever struggled with drink, it was just something I felt like I wanted to do for a year and challenge myself. Drinking can lead to bad s**t happening.
"He admits life has improved greatly since he's decided to quit alcohol, but he did find it tough to avoid the booze when he proposed to girlfriend Amelia and wanted to celebrate their upcoming nuptials with a glass of fizz. "Life has improved massively. I don't miss it at all.
Only once when we got engaged, I was devastated I couldn't have a tipple. Amelia drank the whole bottle, probably thinking why did I say yes!" he joked. Olly insists his decision to stop drinking wasn't because he had any problems with alcohol, but did confessed he can go a bit "mad" when he's had a drink and isn't afraid to be the life and soul of the party, belting out karaoke tunes.
He said: "It's not because I had problems with drink. I can be a bit mad. But I want to drink next year for the wedding.
