Caroline Flack and Olly Murs aren’t your typical taxi drivers.

But in their role as X Factor hosts, the Strictly Come Dancing champion and the former contestant each took on the responsibility for getting the judges to the latest auditions.

Caroline drove Nick Grimshaw and Simon Cowell to Wembley Arena in London last night, and it was no surprise to see who shotgunned the front seat.

Meanwhile, Olly acted as chauffeur for Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Rita Ora.

The judges enjoyed fooling around behind the scenes, with Nick in a playful mood as he helped Cheryl try out a two-wheeled electric self-balancing scooter – although the star wasn’t too keen and had trouble finding her balance.

Alongside a series of crying-laughing emoticons, Nick reported: “She didn’t like it,” and plucked his co-judge off the scooter when she wobbled into his arms.
