The Voice UK coach Olly Murs honoured the memory of his late friend and former colleague Caroline Flack in tonight's (September 10) episode.
Famed for presenting Love Island, Flack died by suicide at the age of 40 in February 2020.
As it's officially World Suicide Prevention Day, the pop singer got out of his big red chair for a rendition of Neil Diamond's 'Sweet Caroline', conducting the crowd as they joined in.

Next to a video from the stage, his caption read: "For you caz! @newmarket_racecourses 2021 what a crowd! Was great to be back on stage again! Loved it and loved you all for coming!"
