Olly Murs swerves prank videos as he returns to Instagram after being forced to apologise over Pringles tube joke

OLLY Murs has returned to his Instagram videos - but swerved the pranks after he was forced to apologise for his Pringles tube one.

The popstar suffered a backlash after cutting the bottom out of the tube and appearing to trick his girlfriend Amelia Tank into touching his privates when she thought she was getting a crisp.

But after the backlash Olly apologised and laid low with the pranks.

Now however, he is edging back into them with his and Amelia's attempt at a viral challenge to jump out of a hoodie and land in it after removing it hands free.

He wrote on Twitter: "So I’ve had a few days to think about this, and wanted to apologise to anyone who has been offended by my social videos.

"My intention was only to make people smile and laugh during these trying times. Am wishing you all a great bank holiday remember to #bekind #stayathome."

He was inundated with support from fans telling him he didn't need to say sorry.

The clip starts with a TikTok of Olly removing the bottom from the crisp packaging, smiling with glee as he did so.

He then secretly films himself and Amelia cuddling on the sofa watching TV, munching on some snacks.

With the Pringles tube over his crotch, Olly offered the beauty some more - and she puts her hand into the tube.

The video freezes as the iconic Scarface quote "say hello to my little friend" plays over the moment.

When the video starts playing again, Amelia pushes her hand further down before recoiling in disgust.

Olly chuckles to himself as she jumps away, calling her famous boyfriend a "t**t".

The former X Factor star captioned the social media post: "Pringles now do a variety pack".

The pair have been keeping their followers entertained with a series of pranks in recent weeks - which all started when the singer dropped her face first into the swimming pool.

Last week, personal trainer Amelia took things to another level as she flung a sweaty slice of ham at Olly’s face while he played the video game FIFA.

Other pranks have included her sellotaping Olly's phone to his head and him soaking her with a water gun and farting in her face.
