Olly Murs: 'One Direction Will Never Happen Again'

Wrapped Up singer agrees with Simon Cowell that it will be hard for an X Factor act to ever better what 1D have achieved...

Olly Murs has stated he believes there will never be another X Factor act as successful as One Direction.

During an exclusive interview with MTV News, the Wrapped Up hitmaker was quizzed about comments made by boss Simon Cowell, who previously stated that 1D's success "will never be repeated".

[related]Cowell added: "I don't think anyone this year is capable of that, but I don't think anyone will do it again."

When asked about SiCo's statement, Olly agreed: "I think with One Direction, it's something that's never going to happen again… I mean what they're achieving and what they're doing is ridiculous.

"There's always going to be other artists that are going to he hugely successful or massive but I think from the X Factor, Simon's right."

He went on to claim: "It's going to be very hard for anyone to come off the show and be as big and as successful as thoseboys. That's pretty much a fact.

"Who knows though. After Leona Lewis, I almost felt that was never going to happen again because she was so massive and so big in America as well, that was incredible, but thenOne Direction came along and completely took it to another level… you never know, but I do agree with Simon."
