ITV bosses announced earlier this week that the reality show will be on screens twice a year – with Caroline’s workload doubling to present the new winter show plus the regular series for the next three years.

A TV source revealed: “Caroline negotiates a good deal. She drove a hard bargain. It is thoroughly deserved and she is highly valued at ITV.

Brands are desperate for the 55-year-old to plug their products after a photo of her holding a razor helped her clock up 37,000 Instagram followers.

Sherie-Ann said: “I couldn’t believe all the people contacting me. For all these other propositio­ns to come in is quite overwhelmi­ng.”

Sherie-Ann said: “What a beautiful couple. At first I wasn’t too sure but they’ve bonded. I had a wee inspection [of Anton’s rear]. She’s getting there.”

Belle, daughter of Football Factory actor Tamer Hassan, lives in Bromley, 400 miles from Anton, who lives with his parents in Airdrie, Scotland.

The latest season saw a new record of more than six million viewers tune in across TV and devices. The final takes place tomorrow, with one couple leaving the villa in Majorca with £50,000.

Caroline, 39, said she is “so chuffed” to be taking part, adding it was “going to be a long, hot winter”.

ITV has an enhanced duty of care for participan­ts, including a minimum of eight therapy sessions, following the suicides of former contestant­s Sophie Gradon, 26, and Mike Thalassiti­s, 32.
