Magic Radio are getting in the festive spirit by reuniting one of telly's greatest double acts: Caroline Flack and Olly Murs. The former Xtra Factor presenters have joined the schedule and will be taking to the airwaves on Christmas morning as well as on New Year’s Eve. To celebrate the happy news, we nabbed a chat with the lovely Lady Flack...
**Who was your Strictly crush?
**
“Who did I have a crush on on Strictly? Do you know what out of all the men I would say I really liked Tim Wonnacott from Bargain Hunt. I’m not joking, he was so charming. So so charming every time I saw him.”
What's your best ever Christmas present?
“The best one I ever got was the big yellow teapot. You open it up and inside it was a little house full of people. I was very pleased! And one of those things that turned your drinks fizzy. Soda Streams.”
What's your favourite Christmas song?
“My favourite Christmas song is ‘Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire’. It’s a song that we would open our presents to. My dad was really into his Christmas music when we were younger. As soon as we got up the music went on before anything else. The fire would be on and you could smell the turkey in the oven and everyone would be in their dressing gowns, putting those slippers on and you could hear the wrapping going before the song came on”.
