She and Olly Murs were announced as the new hosts of the ITV singing competition earlier this year, having previously hosted two series of spin-off series ‘The Xtra Factor’, although Caroline admitted she was scared she’d be sacked over a comment she made on her first day.

Meanwhile, several other contestants from this year’s show have a history of cropping up in reality TV, with Alex Boyle appearing on ‘America’s Got Talent’, and Hannah Kilmister starring in the UK equivalent.

Viewers’ favourites 4th Power also courted controversy when it emerged that they had made a splash when they appeared on a TV talent show in South Korea.
