Olly Murs’ relationship history

Olly Murs is currently single, and in the whole time he’s been famous, we’ve only actually known him to have one girlfriend – Francesca Thomas. Unfortunately, the couple called time on their relationship in September 2015.

Olly Murs and Francesca Thomas

Olly and Francesca – a property manager from Essex – were together for three years, but split at the end of September 2015.

Olly Murs and Francesca Thomas split

Olly and Francesca are said to have split because of the X Factor host’s busy schedule. A source told The Sun: "He always worried that his relationship would struggle because he'd always put his career first.

"Now, with X Factor and his singing on the go, that's exactly what has happened. "

They said the Heart Skips A Beat star was particularly upset because Francesca was "the first woman he planned a future with".

Caroline Flack’s relationship history

Unlike Olly, Caroline has been linked to a few fellas since she’s been on the showbiz scene, including Jack Street, One Direction’s Harry Styles, Prince Harry, Jack Osbourne and Russell Brand.

Caroline Flack and Jack Street

Caroline split from her boyfriend, Jack Street, in December 2014, just before she won Strictly Come Dancing, after they dated for 18 months. They rekindled their romance at Glastonbury 2015, but soon called things off again.

Caroline called out Sam Smith at the end of August for posting a photo of Jack cosied up to a mystery girl the day before her big X Factor launch.

She posted on social media: “When someone who knows you more than anyone ruins the biggest day of your life.”

A source told The Mirror: “Caroline is heartbroken to see him move on so fast. She thought they could make a go of it the second time. Clearly it's over now. This break-up has been even more acrimonious than the last. And the timing of him going public with a new girlfriend couldn't have been worse.”

Caroline Flack and Harry Styles

Caroline dated Harry Styles back in 2011 when she was 31 and he was 17. The couple met through The X Factor. She recently said the 14-year age gap was blown out of proportion.

"I'm not going to ever apologise for it because there was nothing at the time that was serious or bad and nobody was getting hurt."

Caroline Flack and Prince Harry

Caroline revealed that she dated Prince Harry in 2011, just before she began seeing Harry Styles.

She opened up about meeting him through her friend, Natalie Pinkman, in her autobiography, Storm In A C Cup.

“I knew she was friends with Prince Harry, and I'd never met him, so I thought, ‘Oh that's quite exciting’, and for a moment I perked up.

“To meet a prince is so unlikely it would be weird not to acknowledge it.”

She said the pair began seeing each other, being photographed out together and that on a personal level she “really liked him”.

But she added: “However, once the story got out, that was it. We had to stop seeing each other.

“I was no longer Caroline Flack, TV presenter, I was Caroline Flack, Prince Harry's bit of rough.”
