"It's a weird chemistry. We have this innate understanding of one another – we don't fancy each other, yet we do fancy each other."

The presenting duo sent social media into a frenzy on Saturday night when they appeared to lean in to kiss one another before quickly pulling away.

Murs was recently forced to deny a romance on Loose Women after Simon Cowell joked that the pair fancy one another.

Dismissing the claim, Murs said: "I'm so cross with him. It's so silly. I've obviously just gone through a break up with my girlfriend which has been quite sad and it's been quite a difficult couple of weeks.

"Me and Caroline have always said in interviews we've never been together we're just really good mates."
