ok.co.ukOlly Murs has shared that the late Caroline Flack told him some of her "happiest" times were spent working with him. The 39 year old singer and presenter, who found fame on The X Factor, presented spin-off series The Xtra Factor alongside Caroline for a number of years, and in 2015, they hosted the main show.
Caroline, who presented Love Island solo as well as a season of X Factor with Olly, tragically died by suicide in 2020, aged 40.
Chatting to Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen on the Take That: This Life podcast, Olly said: "They were great years and it was good for us 'cause we did The Xtra Factor at the time, so it was a bit more relaxed." He added: "The way we wanted the show to be when I came in ...
