- ■ by JACK ANDREWS jack.andrews@dailystar.co.uk

CAROLINE Flack has revealed her struggle over whether she should turn her back on the limelight to have children.

The Love Island presenter, 39, confessed she feels “guilty” because she always “puts work first” and has never felt the need to “slow down”.

Now she is worried she might end up leaving it too late to start a family.

On Channel 4 show Kathy Burke’s All Woman, the work-obsessed star said: “I’ve never got to that point yet and I’m scared it’s gonna get too late.

“Where I’ve wanted to go ‘Right, maybe slow down, think about having kids and maybe think about settling down’ but I’ve never had that.

“It’s really strange, I feel sometimes, maybe I’m being selfish.”

The notorious singleton admitted offering to quit her television career in a desperate bid to keep an ex-boyfriend.

She said: “I did say the words ‘I’ll stop working, don’t leave me.’ I didn’t want him to go. But he left.”

But she quickly came to her senses.

“Then I was like, why would I sacrifice everything for him? Why?

“Thank God I didn’t give up my job!” The celebrity beauty said she has never wanted the “fairytale” romance or had any desire to settle down.

She confessed to feeling guilty about not wanting a “traditiona­l” happy ending.

But she added: “Being single shouldn’t be seen as a sign weakness.

“When you’re on your own, you’re more powerful because you’re not relying on someone else.”

Although she has never of

apassed the three-year mark in her relationsh­ips, she hopes that will change with her new man, tennis player Lewis Burton, 27. Caroline has had a string of high-profile romances, infamously dating the 17-year-old Harry Styles when she was in 2011. That two years a rumoured with Prince Harry. The star split from rugby star Danny Cipriani in June and was engaged to former Apprentice contestant Andrew Brady last year.

31 TOWIE’S Georgia Kousoulou is having therapy after suffering a breakdown and quitting Channel 4’s Sink Or Swim. The show sees celebs train to swim The Channel for Stand Up To Cancer but the reality star left after the first episode became “a bit too much”. She admitted the “pressure” left her seeking profession­al help to battle her demons.

The 28-year-old said sessions with a counsellor have left her in a better place and thanked family and friends. She added: “The pressure of this massive challenge just brought up so many emotions and so much anxiety that I had hidden and never dealt with over the last few years.”
