The X Factor 2015: Newly-single Olly Murs can't stop kissing Caroline Flack on live show
THE X FACTOR co-hosts Caroline Flack and Olly Murs took their ever-flirtatious relationship to the next level during last night's live episode.

The presenting duo have previously stressed that they enjoy a strictly platonic friendship.
But after wowing on stage with a performance of his new tune Kiss Me, 31-year-old Olly took his lyrics a little too literally and began planting multiple pecks on 36-year-old Caroline's face.
Despite belting out his tune surrounded by a host of sexy swimsuit-clad dancers, it seemed that Olly only had eyes for the former Strictly Come Dancing winner.
Unable to keep his hands – or lips – away from her, Olly landed three intimate kisses on the blonde bombshell's cheek as she interviewed him after his energetic rendition of his latest track.

An awkward moment followed as Caroline turned to face the Beautiful To Me hitmaker, who suggestively raised his eyebrows at her as though he might lean in for a smooch on the lips.
Coy Caroline swiftly ducked her head away and returned her attention to her presenting duties.
Olly and Caroline's steamy PDA comes after they were grilled by the judges over their repeated romance denials during Saturday night's live show.
When they were quizzed about whether they have ever kissed, the pair laughed awkwardly and insisted that they hadn't.

You've never kissed? Never?
Newcomer Nick Grimshaw joked in disbelief: "You've never kissed? Never?"
Head honcho Simon Cowell also joined in the teasing, which prompted Olly to finally plant a sweet kiss on Caroline's cheek.
The X Factor returns to ITV1 on Saturday at 8pm.
