Olly Murs opened up about the death of his friend Caroline Flack on Loose Women today in an emotional interview.
The pop singer and judge on The Voice UK asked the panel of the popular ITV daytime show to address the passing of Caroline straight away, to which he admitted it's been "tough".
Last month, Caroline, 40, took her own life at her home in London weeks before a trial in which she was charged of assault against her boyfriend Lewis Burton, the Mirror Online reports.
He told host Andrea McLean that he "never thought he'd never see her again" and "misses her to bits".
"It's been tough," he said. "Even you saying those words, it doesn't make sense to me. I'm coming to terms with it, I was on holiday at the time."
In 2015, Olly presented The X Factor with Caroline after successfully working together on the eighth series of The Xtra Factor in 2011.
Asked whether he was getting help to cope with his grief, he said: "From friends and family and getting back into work and keeping busy.
"It's been tough... I never thought I'd never see her again. I love her and I miss her to bits."
The Voice coach Olly also spoke about how his girlfriend had massively supported him through such a difficult time.
"You really see a different side to someone," he explained. "You really learn about someone. Her family were incredible."
Loose Women airs weekdays from 12:30pm on ITV
