Olly Murs has revealed he once showered nude with Will Ferrell.

The Hand On Heart singer had a wash with the Anchorman anchor after they both got muddy at a charity football match and joked that it was one of the best things he has ever done, reported Metro.

Speaking at the premiere of Anchorman 2, where he was decked out as Will's newscaster character Ron Burgundy, Olly laughed: "I met Will when we were doing Soccer Aid and I actually had a shower with him naked.

"It's one of the highlights of my career, that I had a shower with Will Ferrell."

Olly, 29, added: "It was a beautiful thing."
