Chris Kamara to join Olly Murs on tour and perform Snoop Dogg's rap
But never afraid of trying something new, Olly Murs has really pushed the boat out with his latest star guest — roping in TV sports pundit Chris Kamara for an unlikely musical partnership.
The duo recently joked about Kammy rapping during a TV appearance. But I’ve learned they later caught up and chatted about making it a reality and are now putting things in place.
And the former footballer — famed for his catchphrase “Unbelievable, Jeff”, alongside Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday host Jeff Stelling — is in good company as he’ll be stepping in to perform Snoop’s rap on single Moves during Olly’s gig at Wembley this summer.
An insider tells me: “This started out as a joke but they’re good friends and kept talking about it afterwards.
“Now it looks like it’s actually going to happen on one of Olly’s tour dates in London.
“Obviously it’s just a bit of fun, but surprisingly Kammy isn’t too bad.”
Olly, who is also a coach on ITV reality singing show The Voice, takes to the road for his All The Hits tour in May, taking in 21 dates across the UK and Ireland.
And Chris isn’t a total novice on the music scene himself.
The broadcaster is a keen singer, having even released charity single Sing For England ahead of the Euro 2012 football tournament.
The song proved a surprise success in support of the Marie Curie Cancer Care charity, and later got the backing of the Football Association, who made it the England squad’s official anthem for the tournament.
An insider explained: “If it’s a hit, maybe Chris will do a few more gigs.”
Unbelievable, Jeff? Maybe not.

Perrie eds out
HERE’S Perrie Edwards showing footballer boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain how to really leather it.
The Little Mix singer was pictured in her racy black outfit leaving Bunga Bunga in London’s Battersea on Saturday.
She posed with a male pal for a snap shared on Instagram, inset, during the boisterous night.
Perrie doesn’t seem to have taken her foot off the gas since she attended the booze-soaked Brits last month with Liverpool and England star Alex.
She said in another post: “Holy SHMOKES. Last night was a night to remember, although I don’t remember much (not due to alcohol) just because it felt like such a blur.”

Kate's date with new fella
KATE Beckinsale and rumoured new man Pete Davidson have been busted after being pictured for the second time.
The couple were spotted holding hands as they headed to an after-party for American TV show Saturday Night Live in New York.
At just 25, American actor and comic Pete is two decades Kate’s junior – but that hasn’t stopped the pair from growing close since meeting at a Golden Globes bash last month.
They are said to have been dating for several weeks and are reckoned to be planning a holiday to cement their blossoming romance.
Their relation- ship comes after Kate was spotted passionately kissing Brit comic Jack Whitehall in a LA karaoke bar. Pete is the ex-boyfriend of megastar Ariana Grande.
Judging by both their track records, I doubt this one will last.

Megan snaps at Wes
MEGAN Barton Hanson flirted heavily with her ex Wes Nelson at the weekend – before it descended into acrimony.
The Love Islander looked in fine form on Saturday night as she partied in Norwich wearing this skintight black dress.
The pair swapped X-rated messages over social media but Megan got the hump when Wes shared a private snap with his 1.6million Instagram followers.
He had sent Megan a snap of himself topless, inset, with the comment: “Annoying you’re not with me.”
Megan replied: “Them lips. Miss you telling me that it’s all mine and I’m a ‘good girl’.”
But she got angry after Wes posted the same image to his Instagram profile. They’ll be back together in no time.

Kids to pay price for school rant
KATIE Price is thinking about taking her children out of school after she was probed by police over an expletive-filled playground rant.
The former Loose Women presenter allegedly screamed “Are you enjoying f***ing my husband?” at Kieran Hayler’s new girlfriend Michelle Pentecost.
The pair clashed as Michelle was picking up her son at the same primary school where Katie was collecting her youngest kids, Jett and Bunny.
Since the spat last September, Katie, above, has been considering moving her children as none of the other parents like her.
A source said: “Katie is the black sheep of the playground, none of the parents are keen on her.
“They want their children to be able to go to school in peace, without any of her disgusting language being used in front of them.
“Since it all kicked off Katie has threatened to take Jett and Bunny out of the school.
“She knows no one likes her and now and she feels really awkward about collecting them every day.”
Her behaviour was unacceptable – any mother would be mortified.
