Olly Murs has told how he broke down in tears when it was his turn to deliver a tribute at a charity dinner for tragic friend Caroline Flack.

The singer was one of a group of Caroline’s closest pals who embarked on a challenge to raise £30,000 for the Samaritans.

The group tasked themselves with climbing 24 Lake District peaks in 24 hours in the Love Island presenter’s name.

It was at a Climb for Caroline dinner afterwards that Olly, who hosted The X Factor alongside Caroline in 2015, broke down.

The 37-year-old fitness buff said: “One of the girls got up and started talking and was saying thank you so much to everyone.

“All of a sudden it all went round the table and everyone had to say something.
