After her much publicised kiss with One Direction's Harry Styles, the 31-year-old Xtra Factor presenter appeared to be moving on to band mate Niall Horan, 18.
Following the group's performance on X Factor last night, the Xtra factor host was pictured saying goodbye to the youngsters and enjoyed a lingering hug with the teenage singer.
Baring her tanned legs and wearing a black winter coat with towering nude stilettos, Caroline looked rather happy as she left the London studios.
The former Bo' Selecta! star apparently went out of her way to avoid curly-haired Harry, but that didn't stop her from embracing with Niall.
However it seems the pair haven't stopped talking completely as yesterday Harry decided to tweet Caroline ahead of the band's appearance on the show - perhaps hoping to break the ice.
'I hope @carolineflack1 likes my shoes today.....' he wrote, to which she replied: '@Harry_Styles I'm worried that I won't, could be awkward...'
The two are obviously poking fun at their intimate moment that they shared last month but Caroline didn't find it funny when others jumped on the band wagon.
Louis Walsh joined in on the fun by saying to fellow judge, Gary Barlow: 'By the way Gary – somebody's made a big effort today for some reason.
'Caroline is looking really well, she's trying to impress somebody tonight. I don't know who it is.'
Earlier in the evening band member, Louis Tomlinson, had re-tweeted a message from a fan saying: 'Go on, make it awkward between Harry and Caroline tonight :)'
And he was quick to answer Olly Murs' question to Harry asking him which X Factor girl he fancied the most shouting: 'Caroline!'
The audience then began cheering as Harry admitted that he had been waiting for someone to bring the subject up.
'They're all a bit young for me,' the 17-year-old said talking about the current female contestants, who range in age from 17 to 20.
But Caroline doesn't mind the young ones and made sure she said goodbye to Niall later that evening - who was braving the cold in a white printed T-shirt with blue jeans and matching shoes.
Even the hordes of screaming fans didn't seem to distract both Harry and Niall from taking their eyes off of Caroline.
Harry is said to have enjoyed a cheeky kiss with her last month when they partied following the X Factor live show.
The teen has made no secret of his crush on Caroline in the past and it seems his dream came true as the pair reportedly had a 'big passionate snog.'
However she's not the only big fan of One Direction.
Teenage girls were spotted going to extreme lengths to ensure they got photos of their favourite group last night.
When they arrived earlier in the evening, the guys looked styled to perfection wearing coordinating colours of blue, white, grey, maroon and bright red.
Sporting a mixture of blazers and skinny jeans, the What Makes You Beautiful singers looked happy to be back where it all started for them.
The group have enjoyed enormous success over the past year including a number one single, and they're set to see more of it in the near future as their debut album, Up All Night, is released on November 21.
