- by OLIVER PRITCHARD

LOVE Island host Caroline Flack has said she is proud of being labelled a cougar.

The star, who dated Harry Styles when he was 17 and she was 31, opened up for the first time about her toyboys.

Caroline said: “If ‘cougar’ is supposed to be an insult I’m making it a badge of honour.”

TV beauty Caroline Flack has told how she is “unashamed” of being labelled a cougar.

The Love Island presenter, who dated Harry Styles when he was 17 and she was 31, spoke out for the first time about her toyboys.

She posted online: “I normally keep my mouth shut when it comes to my life and being in the public eye.

“But for the first time I really wanted to write something personal about some of the ‘flack’ I’ve had over the years and how I frankly don’t care.”

She added: “If ‘cougar’ is supposed to be an insult I’m making it a badge of honour.”

The blonde’s highly-publicised love life has included several men more than a decade younger than her.

Just last month the 39-yearold was snapped snogging Strictly dancer AJ Pritchard,

24, at a National Television Awards after party.

Before this she was in an onoff relationsh­ip with The Apprentice and Celebrity Big Brother star Andrew Brady – who is 12 years her junior.

Within minutes of her post, other celebs praised the 2014 Strictly winner’s bravery for speaking out. Louise Redknapp, whose marriage to footballer Jamie collapsed in 2017, wrote: “Yes babe.”

Made In Chelsea star Ashley James wrote: “Yes girl!!! Glad you spoke up, annoys me that old men can date young girls and no one says anything. You’re my favourite cougar.”

Her other lovers are said to have included Prince Harry and Olly Murs.
