Speaking on ITV’s Lorraine, she said: “We already got on really well, but for some reason I didn’t think it was possible to get any closer.

"But this series we’ve become so close, we’ve kind of had to stick by each other and we are just friends, but there’s this innate understanding between us which I’ve never had with anyone.”

However despite their ‘connection’, for now, the presenter is insistent that they are ‘just friends’.

Caroline also opened up about Olly’s on-air gaffe in which he prematurely revealed the name of the contestant going home that week.

"Bless him. How many times did he apologise? I actually had lunch with Dermot O’Leary the other day and he was just like, ‘I really felt for him’ because we all know what happens, these things do happen,” she revealed.

The star said that she and Olly would love to be back for the next series, however, for now, their fate is suspended until Simon Cowell decides their fate.

Just today it was rumoured that they might not be back and that Simon has his eye on Big Brother presenters Rylan Clark and Emma Willis.

“It would cause fireworks poaching Emma and Rylan off Big Brother but Simon usually gets what he wants,” a source told the Daily Star.
