Caroline Flack is stepping down from Love Island UK following the assault charges against her.
The 40-year-old host of the British reality TV show took to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday (December 17) to make the announcement.
“There have been a significant number of media reports and allegations in regards to my personal life,” she wrote. “While matters were not as have been reported, I am committed to cooperating with the appropriate authorities and I can’t comment further on these matters until the legal process is over.”
“However, Love Island has been my world for the last five years, it’s the best show on telly,” Caroline Flack added. “In order not to detract attention from the upcoming series I feel the best thing I can do is stand down for Series 6. I want to wish the incredible team working on the show a fantastic series in Cape Town.”
The first winter version of Love Island, moving from Mallorca to South Africa, will premiere in January on ITV2 in the U.K.
“ITV has a long standing relationship with Caroline and we understand and accept her decision,” a spokesperson for ITV told People. “We will remain in contact with her over the coming months about future series of Love Island.”
