Olly Murs reflects on friendship with Caroline Flack in X Factor video
Olly Murs has shared another sweet tribute to his friend and former X Factor co-host Caroline Flack on Instagram, giving fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse of their time working together on the show.
Olly and Caroline, who also fronted the reality series' spin-off show The Xtra Factor together, presented series 12 of the ITV singing contest back in 2015.
Posting a slow-motion video of the pair messing around on-set between auditions, Olly wrote: "God we did some stupid shit Caz... found this on my computer! Haha I remember we was bored backstage at XF and buzzing that we had slow mo on our iphones and thought this was funny as f**k."

Olly's post follows Caroline's tragic death earlier this month at the age of 40. It was confirmed last week by the coroner that she had taken her own life.
Current Love Island presenter Laura Whitmore recently thanked the contestants from this year's winter series for helping her in the wake of Flack's death. Following Sunday's (February 23) final, Laura congratulated Finley Tapp and Paige Turley on their win.
