The 'Strictly Come Dancing' champion was recently announced as the new host of 'The X Factor' alongside her former 'Xtra Factor' co-host Olly Murs but she's now revealed she's hoping to land a job working with animals in the future.

She said: "I'd like the idea of doing something completely different and out of my comfort zone one day. I love animals, so maybe I'll try my hand working in a zoo or campaigning for animal rights."

The 35-year-old star confessed it was so hard being away from her new pet cat while on holiday in Los Angeles that she had to video call him.

She shared: "I got a kitten called Waffles a few months ago and I'm obsessed with him. My mum looked after him for me when I was in LA and I missed him so much that I arranged a FaceTime call with him!"

The blonde beauty - who previously dated One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles - also got a tattoo in Waffles' honour.

Caroline added to OK! magazine: "I've never had a pet before and I've grown so attached to him, he's the best company, so I decided to get a paw print behind my ear."
