" It was inevitable that when we stopped for a chat with our TV faves, Caroline Flack and Olly Murs, at last night&amp;#039;s Ultimate Women Awards with Baileys,\u00A0their current gig presenting\u00A0The X Factor\u00A0was going to come up in conversation. Because the duo, who have been close pals (and now maybe more, if last night&amp;#039;s antics are anything to go by...) since they started presenting\u00A0The Xtra Factor\u00A0together a few years back, have come under fire for basically not being Dermot O&amp;#039;Leary. Which isn&amp;#039;t all that surprising really, because THEY&amp;#039;RE NOT DERMOT O&amp;#039;LEARY. They are, however, bloody great and we want all the haters to hush. And it seems like Caroline does, too. When she was quizzed about the negativity she&amp;#039;s received - particularly where her body and her clothes are concerned - she told us:\u00A0&amp;quot;I think I&amp;#039;ve spoken about it a lot, but the online crowd are tough critics.\u00A0I think being here tonight, it&amp;#039;s all about positivity, so I&amp;#039;m not going to give any of the negative haters anymore attention.&amp;quot; YES, Flack.  And Olly seems to be taking any criticism on the chin, reminding us that it&amp;#039;s going to take a\u00A0bit\u00A0more than a few uncalled for tweets to break him. &amp;quot;Look I&amp;#039;ve been around long enough now,&amp;quot; he said.\u00A0&amp;quot;Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me... &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s just one of those\u00A0things, you&amp;#039;ll always get people online that are going to attack, and be critics. They all think they&amp;#039;re TV critics now, music critics, styling critics, so you just kind of have to ignore it and move on.  &amp;quot;As soon as we walk out on TV, especially being on the biggest TV show in the country, people are analysing your face, the way you look, the way you speak, the way you dress, it&amp;#039;s everything. So you just kind of have to suck it up and it&amp;#039;s just one of those things. &amp;quot;I love working on the show, I love being a part of it, I love finding new talent and you&amp;#039;ve just got to rise above it.&amp;quot; Well said, Ols. He also brilliantly referenced his most prominent\u00A0X Factor\u00A0blunder during his speech before presenting Caroline with her award, proving that he&amp;#039;s ALL about laughing it off. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s had the most amazing 12 months,&amp;quot; he started, before listing her credentials: &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s won Strictly Come Dancing, she owned the Island of Love, and now she co-hosts the\u00A0X Factor\u00A0with a very handsome man who gets confused by the words... um... deadlock.&amp;quot; Amazing.  When Olly was later quizzed on what makes an &amp;#039;Ultimate&amp;#039; woman (this was our Baileys Ultimate Woman of the Year Awards, after all) he described someone\u00A0that sounds a\u00A0liiiiiitle\u00A0bit like our Caroline. Just saying... &amp;quot;Someone who&amp;#039;s got a really strong personality, is\u00A0independent, and dresses really really\u00A0well,&amp;quot; Olly described, before we jumped in with: &amp;quot;Like Caroline Flack..?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;How did I know that was coming?&amp;quot; he said with a giggle. &amp;quot;No Caroline&amp;#039;s great, she&amp;#039;s brilliant. But I think someone with a good smile, someone lovely, that&amp;#039;s why she&amp;#039;s winning an award!&amp;quot; We&amp;#039;ll leave it up to you to read into that whatever you will... But at least we&amp;#039;re all agreed on one thing: Caroline and Olly are doing a great job, and as our parents always told us: anyone who doesn&amp;#039;t have anything nice to say, should stick to saying nothing at all.
