As a Member of Parliament, Dame Priti Patel has a lot on her plate. But on Wednesday, she decided to add another task to her list - congratulating celebrities on their new arrivals. In a rather unexpected move, she took to social media to share her well wishes for singer Olly Murs and his wife Amelia, who had just announced the birth of their daughter, Madison.
It didn't take long for people to notice Dame Priti's tweet, with many calling it "cringeworthy" and accusing her of trying to gain attention. But the MP for Witham, her constituency in Essex, didn't let the criticism faze her. She began her message with a playful nod to Olly's ties to her hometown, before attempting a joke about his hit song "Troublemaker." Along with her tweet, she shared a photo of herself and Olly having a chat in a park, with a police officer smiling in the background.
The photo itself was a bit awkward, with Dame Priti sporting a blue jacket and sunglasses, while Olly, who is currently on tour, opted for a green cargo jacket and trousers. Some social media users didn't hold back in their reactions, with one commenting that Olly probably wouldn't appreciate the attention from the MP. Others simply found the whole situation strange and unexpected.
But despite the mixed reactions, Dame Priti's message was met with good intentions. And it wasn't just her who sent their well wishes to the new parents. Fellow celebrities such as Mark Wright, Craig David, and Joe Wicks also took to social media to congratulate the couple on their new bundle of joy.
This happy news comes after Olly and Amelia tied the knot last summer, and announced their pregnancy in December of last year. The couple shared their excitement with Olly's 4.7 million Instagram followers, and have since received an outpouring of love and support from their famous friends.
Dame Priti's message may have caused a bit of a stir, but at the end of the day, it's all in good spirit. And with so much going on in the world, it's nice to take a moment to celebrate new life and spread some positivity. Congratulations to Olly and Amelia on their new arrival, and to Dame Priti for spreading some joy in her own unique way.
