Host played part in many reality shows

-

Caroline Flack has become synonymous with ITV2 reality series Love Island in recent years.

The TV presenter is often seen entering the dating show’s villa in slow motion shots to deliver the often bad news to the contestant­s, while the slogan “The Flack Is Back” is one of the programme’s best-known catchphras­es.

Along with hosting Love Island’s weekly spin-off show Aftersun, Flack, 40, has hosted all five series of the popular programme, one of the mostwatche­d reality shows in the UK since it was launched in 2015.

In 2018 Flack was present as Love Island won its first TV Bafta for best reality and constructe­d factual show.

Prior to becoming a household name, Flack had presenting jobs on E4 Music and on the CBBC channel before becoming the co-host of action game show Gladiators with Ian Wright in 2009 on Sky One.

In 2009 she became the presenter of I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! NOW! alongside Joe Swash and Russell Kane.

She left the I’m A Celebrity companion show in 2011 to host another spin-off programme, The Xtra Factor for The X Factor, along with former contestant Olly Murs.

After leaving The Xtra Factor in 2014, Flack and Murs were promoted to host the main ITV show, replacing Dermot O’Leary.

However, the pair only hosted the main show for one year after being widely panned by critics and the viewers at home.

Aside from her presenting jobs, Flack has appeared on the small screen in Strictly Come Dancing and on the celebrity version of The Great British Bake Off.

She took part in Strictly in 2014 and was partnered with Pasha Kovalev.

The pair won the series.
