Olly Murs became emotional while talking about his late friend Caroline Flack during a recent gig and urged his fans to reach out to someone if they’re struggling with their mental health.

The 38-year-old singer was close pals with Flack, who tragically took her own life in 2020 aged 40.

Murs, who presented The Xtra Factor alongside Flack, told fans at his show at The O2 Arena in London last night that he would always include a song dedicated to his late friend at his performances.

Murs, who is currently embarking on his Marry Me tour, sang the Neil Diamond hit 'Sweet Caroline' in tribute to his late friend.

Prior to singing the track, Murs shared an emotional and heartfelt message in which he said he wished Flack had reached out to him when she was struggling.

He said: "Like I said earlier, it’s been an incredible four or five years and I know it’s been a really tough, crazy four or five years for every single one of you in this room and it’s going to be hard for me to do this but, in 2020, I lost a very good friend of mine, someone that I love very, very much.

Olly Murs was good friends with Caroline Flack, who tragically took her own life in 2020.

"Her name is Caroline Flack and it is one of the toughest things that has happened in my life and it is really sad to see someone so amazing leave us but she has never left and she is always in my heart.

“And I really didn’t know what I could go through, that whole process for me was so difficult, and I had never been through anything like that before and so many questions that I wanted answered and I am never ever going to get them answers but how I deal with that grief and something I always wanted to do and at every gig that I do for the rest of my career.

"I am always going to dedicate a song to Caroline.

“I just want to say, for anyone in the room that is struggling right now or anyone you know is struggling then please give them a call because I really wish that I had been there for Caz.

“I wish that she had called me. I didn’t know how bad it was and if you know someone, please give them a call. But this one is my favourite songs. It is my version of it

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is 'Sweet Caroline'.”
