The British singer, 38, had spent Valentine’s Day this week celebrating with his fiancé Amelia Tank. But just 24 hours later, he took to social media with a truly moving post.

Olly shared a black and white snapshot showing him with his late best friend, Caroline Flack.

“Hardest day of the year. 3 years of pain that never goes away but that smile and laughter I can still see and hear everyday! Miss ya Caz,” he wrote.

Fans and famous friends were quick to offer their support. Pixie Lott, Kirsty Gallacher, Tamzin Outhwaite and Jessie J were among those to send love hearts, while one follower wrote: “Will always be such a sad waste of a beautiful person. If only she understood how much she was loved personally and professionally x.”

Caroline took her own life on 15 February 2020 at the age of 40. She had forged a close friendship with Olly during their time presenting The Xtra Factor together.
