Love Island’s Amy Hart revealed she is planning on freezing her eggs so that she can have a child with her gay best friend.

The reality star, who left Love Island early due to her disastrous romance with Curtis Pritchard, is determined to have children whether she finds a man or not.

Speaking to The Sun, the 26-year-old said: ‘I would love to get married and have kids. Being a mum is something that is really, really important to me. It is something that I would do on my own if I didn’t meet the right man.

‘I have been thinking about freezing my eggs for a while and I’ve decided to do it next year. It is one of my New Year Resolutions.

‘I have a rough age in mind. If I’m still not with anyone when I’m 35 I would like to do it on my own although I may end up doing it earlier than that. That age isn’t set in stone.’

She continued: ‘I’m not sure exactly how yet. I could do IVF with an anonymous sperm donor or with one of my gay besties.’

We all know Amy would be a wonderful mum and we can’t wait to see if her children walk up the stairs the same way she does.

The former air hostess recently joined Celebs Go Dating to find her perfect man, and we hope she does find ‘the one’.

Discussing her decision to do the show, Amy said: ‘I have an awful track record with love. My love life is horrendous.

‘I’m a complete loser in love so why would I turn it down? I have a couple of professionals doing all the hard work for me.’

Amy and Curtis were inseparable during Love Island, and fans even thought they could win the show.

However, things changed when the ballroom dancer left Amy the moment Maura Higgins expressed an interest.

C’est la vie, Amy.

Love Island star Ovie Soko has ruled out any potential romance with his best pal and co-star Amber Gill.

Cue the sound of breaking hearts, everywhere.

While we’d absolutely love for true gent Ovie and Amber to get together, it sounds like the BFFs really are just that, BFFs.

He addressed their close relationship while attending the Pride of Sport Awards in London on Thursday night and told The Mirror: ‘Amber’s a friend. It’s gonna stay that way. 100%.’

Ovie also touched on his break up with Love Island’s India Reynolds and said he is doing OK after their split, while adding: ‘Break ups are never easy. They’re never easy for anyone.’

Ain’t that the truth.

Ovie and India had been finalists on Love Island this summer and while they gave their relationship a good go when filming wrapped, news broke of the pair’s split in October due to their busy schedules.

Confirmation of their break up came shortly after Ovie and India hit back at cheating claims, after India was accused of being unfaithful with her ex-boyfriend and footballer Kieran Gibbs.

She fiercely denied the claims and Ovie, at the time, told Metro.co.uk just how well their romance was going.

Amber, meanwhile, was loved-up with Greg O’Shea on Love Island’s last series and fans crowned the Newcastle beauty and her rugby player beau show winners.

They ended things just five weeks after the Love Island final and things got a little complicated, when Amber claimed Greg had dumped her over text and he insisted he hadn’t. 

Choosing to agree to disagree, Greg recently said nothing but nice things about his ex while addressing their split on Ryan Tubridgy’s Radio One Show.

He said: ‘I’m not going to badmouth [Amber], she’s got great stuff going on, and I can be happy with myself, my friends, and my family knowing what actually happened.

‘She can say whatever she wants, but I wish her the absolute best – she’s a great woman.’

Love Island urges winter to ‘do one’ in new trailer as Caroline Flack returns for January series

Love Island is done with winter weather, with the trailer for the January series dropping.

We’re so ready.

With the dulcet tones of narrator Iain Stirling playing and Caroline Flack strutting onto our screens, it’s nearly time for the South Africa series to kick off.

‘Oh winter, what is your problem?’ Iain asks in the new teaser. ‘Every year you make it so Baltic our toes go numb and we want to hide under our duvets.

Caroline Flack

‘You’re just rain, sleet, drizzle repeat.’

The comedian added: ‘Thanks to you, we’re stuck indoors with frostbite. So guess what winter? You can stick it where the sun don’t shine.

‘This year our heads have been turned. We’ll be covering ourselves in glitter and dancing round the firepit and there’s nothing you can do about it.’

With Flackers arriving on the scene, she weighed in: ‘Sorry winter, you’re just not our type.’

‘Do one winter,’ Iain declared. ‘Love Island returns in January, yes January, on ITV2.’

We’ll be needing this immediately, thank you.

The pair are jetting off to Cape Town to host a new class of singletons looking for love.

And, despite uncertainty about the new format, Caroline has made it clear we should all by hyped, describing it as the ‘hottest series yet.’

‘I literally cannot wait, it is going to be so hot,’ she told The Sun. ‘Probably the hottest one yet. Cape Town, can you believe it? Love Island’s twice a year now, it’s going to be mad.’

However, not everyone is as convinced.

Island alum Yewande Biala previously explained to Metro.co.uk: ‘I think the first one obviously… Everyone’s still in the Love Island bubble, everyone wants something, they’re hungry for something.

‘I feel like the first one will actually do really well. But I feel like after that it might gradually get less views, because everyone will be like, “Oh, it’s on again. I’ll catch it next time.”

‘They won’t be watching it on the go as they normally do. I think the views might drop because of that.’

Let’s hope not!

Love Island returns in January on ITV2.

The first ever Winter Love Island is due to begin in the new year with a new batch of singletons looking for romance.

Swapping the doom and gloom in the UK for a warmer climate, the Islanders will move into a brand new villa far away from the Mallorca pad used in the summer series.

Host Caroline Flack has already flown out to tour the home whilst shooting promotional material for the show.

Here’s what you need to know about the Winter Love Island villa.

Where is the Winter Love Island villa?

The new villa can be found in an exclusive neighbourhood in Cape Town, South Africa.

Construction work on the property is well underway and looks to be even more lavish than the Spanish villa and twice the size, Mail Online reports.

However many areas in the not-so-humble abode will be recognisable to fans, such as the daybeds, fire pit and roof terrace.

Winter Love Island bosses are rumoured to be shelling out R2 million (£104,000) a month, for four months for the luxurious villa.

When does Winter Love Island start?

While the exact date for the first episode of Winter Love Island has not been revealed, it’s thought to begin in early January.

Producers are expected to head to South Africa on New Year’s Day to prep ahead of the launch, with the Islanders flying out just days before the launch.

A source told Mail Online: ‘Bosses are still deciding on the final date but it is thought to be January 8 – a week after staff arrive in South Africa.

‘The new cast of singletons fly out just days before the launch but bosses work with test Islanders to uncover the best spots in the villa to create drama.’

Jacqueline Jossa won I’m A Celebrity last night and then had to deal with a barrage of comments that her husband Dan Osborne has been unfaithful.

But the EastEnders actress is letting nothing ruin her queen of the jungle glory as she returned her wedding ring to her finger today to film I’m A Celebrity…Coming Out.

The star cancelled all her TV interviews on Monday after last night’s final amid accusations that her other half has cheated on her, but she has insisted on Instagram she’s doing ‘fine’.

Jacqueline, 27, put the sparkling diamond right back on her ring finger to celebrate her 2019 win with all her co-stars after beating Coronation Street star Andy Whyment and DJ Roman Kemp in Sunday’s final.

She was even seen smooching her other half Dan in front of the hotel after leaving the jungle.

‘Hello everybody. Thank you so much for voting for me. If you voted, it means the absolute world,’ she said on Instagram.

‘I cannot quite believe it’s happening. I just want to let you all know, I am absolutely fine and it has been the best experience of my whole entire life and my babies are here.’

It’s not all plain sailing for Jacqueline. It was claimed that she asked fellow contestant, Myles Stephenson, about her husband’s alleged infidelity while on the Australia-based reality show.

In unaired scenes, Myles apparently told Jacqueline that he believed Dan, 28, had been involved with former Love Island contestant Gabby Allen, who is also Myles’ ex-girlfriend.

The move apparently nearly caused Jacqueline to quit I’m A Celeb for good.

Since Jacqueline’s jungle exit, model Chloe Ayling has also accused Dan of being unfaithful, saying she and fellow Celebrity Big Brother star Natalie Nunn had a threesome with him a year after he married Jacqueline.

But Dan has denied all claims of infidelity.

He’s blasted reports that he had a fling with Gabby, as has Gabby herself.

Dan, a former Towie star, has also completely denied the threesome that he’s been accused of.

A rep for Dan told Metro.co.uk: ‘This story is not true and Dan will be seeking legal advice.’

And now Jacqueline has chosen to focus on her win as she was pictured enjoying a glass of champagne and proudly wearing a flower crown at the Palazzo Versace hotel in Brisbane.

While the actress is the first-ever winner in the show’s 17 years to cancel all TV interviews, an I’m A Celebrity spokesperson told the MailOnline Jac wants to ‘spend as much time as possible with her family in Oz before they have to travel back to the UK. Plus she’s filming Coming Out’.

Love Island star Jonny Mitchell has cancelled his wedding to fiancée Danielle Zarb-Cousin.

The 26-year-old got engaged to model Danielle last Christmas after less than a year of dating, popping the question on a romantic trip to Switzerland.

However, Danielle confirmed they had split as she posted a video of herself in what was going to be her wedding dress.

The short clip saw the 28-year-old wearing a stunning strapless white dress featured lace embroidery over the bodice and the fitted skirt.

Danielle wrote: ‘It isn’t just cancelling a wedding, it’s saying goodbye to the vision you had for the rest of your life after that day. The venue, the laughter, the family members and the start of a journey with someone who you love and who will love you for the rest of your life, no matter what, for better or worse. The places you would live and the things you would see together.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B5zsKikH7FD/

‘I am not posting this for sympathy but for my own closure. I’m saying goodbye to the girl in this dress, I’m saying goodbye to her for good. It’s been pretty traumatising for me having to come to terms with everything lol but I’m only looking forward from now on. God has a different plan for my life 🙏 I hope the next chapter is the best one yet ✨✨#youstayclassysandiego.’

Danielle later added: ‘Edit – the details are between Jonny & I. We have some amazing beautiful memories together which I will always cherish and I wish him nothing but happiness and success with everything he does in his life.’

Jonny has yet to address the split, but posted a picture of himself standing next to his sports car and wrote: ‘It’s a new day, lets make it count.’

The pair were set to tie the knot in September 2020, having booked a lavish venue in Italy.

Jonny and Danielle enjoyed a trip to Verona, Italy, together at the beginning of November, but are believed to have split at the end of the month.

Reality star Jonny started dating Danielle shortly after his split from Stephanie Pratt, and he excitedly announced his engagement on Christmas Eve 2018.

He wrote: ‘It sounds clichè, but I knew from the first time I met this girl that I was going to marry her.

‘I probably would’ve proposed to her within the first month of knowing her if it wasn’t totally weird! She’s basically the girl version of me and gets me in every way humanly possible.. She’s a beautiful, caring soul inside and out.’

Mitchell previously attempted to find love with Camilla Thurlow and Tyla Carr during the third series of Love Island on ITV2.

This is the second engagement Jonny has ended – pre Love Island, he proposed to girlfriend Lauren Baxter in Bali, but they called off their engagement while planning their wedding.

Love Island star Malin Andersson is seeking help from the police after being subjected to acid attack threats online.

The reality star, who shot to fame on the second series of the ITV2 dating show in 2016, shared her scary ordeal on Instagram, as she called out the troll for taunting her on social media.

Highlighting just how scary trolling can be, Malin explained she has been working with police to find out who the troll in question is and told fans: ‘People don’t realise what kind these kind of threats do to people.’

‘Sick in the head,’ she wrote, while sharing a screenshot of the horrible message she had received.

It read: ‘I’ve seen you about 3times in mk and have not decided what I will do to you. you will not get away with all the sh*t you’ve done acid sounds good little b**** (sic).’

Malin added in a second post: ‘I couldn’t stay quiet for this one. Me and the police are going to find out who this is. I have no words.’

A source told The Sun that Malin has left her home, as a result of the threatening message, and skipped a service where she was supposed to be lighting a candle for her daughter Consy, who died earlier this year, because she feared the troll would be in the area.

‘Malin has been really shook up by the threats. She’s had the police to her house and has called in security to look after her,’ the source told the paper.

‘She’s not been back to the house since… it’s devastating and really the last thing she needs.’

Metro.co.uk have reached out to Malin’s rep.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4kp6jepWHf/

Malin, who is an advocate for body positivity, recently paid tribute to baby Consy, as what would have been her first birthday approaches, in a sweet Instagram post.

Sharing a series of pictures of her baby girl, before she died just four weeks after being born prematurely, Malin wrote: ‘It’s almost a year until what would have been her 1st birthday, and I can’t express how much my heart hurts for that. Nobody deserves to go through losing a child.’

In another post Malin reached out to her baby girl and called Consy her ‘forever angel’.

‘Oh baby girl this month is proving tough but I’m needing a reminder that you are my FOREVER ANGEL! For anyone else needing help please know @sandscharity are here to help,’ she said.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B53Ax7eJNYu/

Malin gave birth to Consy at the end of 2018 – naming her daughter after her mother, Consy, who passed away in 2017.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk about her heartbreaking loss, Malin said she doesn’t want to let it define her and instead wants to become a ‘better person’ because of her experience.

She said: ‘You can either let it consume you, or you could just let it evolve you as a person and use it as a kind of strength.

‘When you suffer stuff or loss. If you let it kind of define who you are, it will eat you up. So it’s best to let it make you a better person.’

Love Island winner Amber Gill has been crowned as the ‘people’s queen’ after urging her fans to vote.

The 22-year-old confessed she initially wasn’t going to tweet about the election.

However, after freshening up, the reality star managed to find the energy to address the importance of getting down to the polling station.

She said: ‘So I’m not going to lie I was kind of feeling fragile today and didn’t want a fight on twitter so tried to be impartial but I just had a shower & remembered I’m 100% that b**ch so #VoteLabourToday.’

The former islander added: ‘Please remember to vote TODAY it is so important. Vote for whatever you feel is right in your heart.’

Fans were quick to comment and applauded Amber on her political post.

‘I knew I picked the right winner,’ one wrote while another added: ‘A QUEEN FOR THE PEOPLE.’

Someone else said: ‘Thank you so much for using your platform so positively this Election Day! It’s all about uniting the country and you’ve proved time and time again you are FOR the people!’

Others thanked her for not remaining silent: ‘THE MOST ICONIC!!! not a typical love islanderrrr use that platform sis.’

Stormzy

And she’s not the only celeb who has urged their followers to vote, as Stormzy also took to Twitter, with some less than friendly words for Boris Johnson.

‘I know a lot of people are saying “Go vote,” and it can seem like just bulls*** but hear me out,’ the 26-year-old said.

‘Man’s never voted. Man’s always looked at politicians and thought “You guys are f***ing everything up. Man don’t trust you lot. You lot don’t do nothing for man and my community and my circumstance and my mum’s circumstance.”’

Stormzy explained: ‘But for the first time in my 26 years of life, there’s a man that man trusts. And I wouldn’t do all of this, I wouldn’t use my platform, my voice to say that to you guys if I didn’t whole-heartedly…’

He went on to say: ‘It’s very clear as day, personally for me it’s very clear-cut. Jeremy Corbyn is a man of hope, a man of justice, a man of equality, and the other guy’s a f***ing p***k so don’t be stupid.

‘Go use your vote. Serious.’

Caroline Flack has been arrested and charged for actual bodily harm, following an alleged row with boyfriend Lewis Burton.

The Love Island presenter, 40, has been accused of attacking the tennis pro at her home in Islington, London.

He was reportedly taken to hospital after the rumoured argument.

Caroline’s rep shared a statement with Metro.co.uk, which read: ‘We confirm that Police attended Caroline’s home following a private domestic incident.

‘She is co-operating with the appropriate people to resolve matters. We will not be making any further comment for legal reasons.’

According to the Daily Star, six police cars were spotted outside her home on 12 December, with officers called to a ‘domestic disturbance’.

A police spokesperson confirmed the news, sharing a statement with Metro.co.uk: ‘Caroline Flack of Islington was charged on Friday, 13 December with assault by beating.

‘She will appear on bail at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Monday, 23 December.

‘This follows an incident at approximately 05:25hrs on Thursday, 12 December after reports of a man assaulted.

‘He was not seriously injured.’

Caroline and Lewis started dating earlier this year, after being introduced by mutual friends, and made their relationship official in August.

The pair have been seriously loved-up on Instagram, and were seen looking cosy together just days ago.

The arrest comes just days before the ITV2 presenter was due to fly out to South Africa for the upcoming winter Love Island series, which is kicking off on 8 January, 2020.

It is not yet known if the arrest will affect her hosting role on the show.

Speaking about what we could all expect, she previously teased the ‘hottest show ever’.

‘I literally cannot wait, it is going to be so hot,’ she told The Sun. ‘Probably the hottest one yet.

‘Cape Town, can you believe it? Love Island’s twice a year now, it’s going to be mad.’

Caroline Flack has been charged with assault after an alleged row with boyfriend Lewis Burton.

The Love Island host was arrested yesterday morning at her home in Islington, London, with her 27-year-old boyfriend taken to be hospital to be ‘treated for injuries’.

A police spokesperson told Metro.co.uk: ‘Caroline Flack of Islington was charged on Friday, 13 December with assault by beating.

‘She will appear on bail at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Monday, 23 December.

‘This follows an incident at approximately 05:25hrs on Thursday, 12 December after reports of a man assaulted. He was not seriously injured.’

Caroline and Lewis made their relationship official in August this year, when Lewis – a former pro tennis player – shared a picture on Instagram, showing the TV star kissing him on the cheek.

The caption read: ‘Self confessed @carolineflack.’

This came after the pair were pictured kissing in Ibiza – although rumours of their relationship began swirling a month earlier.

Caroline and Lewis apparently met through mutual friends and hit it off, shortly after Flack wrapped the fifth series of Love Island.

Things looked tense, however, on a trip to Ibiza in October, when Caroline was seen having a row with her beau on a yacht.

Since then, though, the couple have been pictured on numerous nights out, with model Lewis celebrating the TV star’s 40th birthday with her last month.

Caroline was forced to deny she and Lewis were engaged after she was pictured wearing a ring on her engagement finger on social media.

Lewis was also there to greet Caroline when she returned from South Africa, where she was shooting promo material for the winter series of Love Island, due to begin in January.

The couple packed on the PDA at Heathrow airport, with Flackers looking delighted to be reunited with her boyfriend.

The pair were last seen together on Tuesday night, as Burton picked up The Surjury host after a meeting at ITV.

Before Lewis, Caroline had a brief fling with Danny Cipriani, which ended back in April.

The former X Factor host was engaged to The Apprentice star Andrew Brady, but their turbulent relationship saw them split and get back together multiple times over a year.

They eventually called it quits for good in November 2018, with Andrew relocating to Australia.

In the past, Caroline was linked to Harry Styles, Olly Murs and Jack Street, as well as Prince Harry.

Metro.co.uk has contacted Flack’s rep and ITV for comment.

The Love Island host, 40, was arrested and charged for assault, following an alleged row with the tennis ace at her home in Islington.

And an eyewitness has now revealed the 27-year-old shouted about his relationship with the ITV2 star while being escorted to a waiting car.

According to the Daily Star, he told officers: ‘Bruv, I was normal until I met her’.

Caroline has been accused of attacking Lewis, who was reportedly taken to hospital after the incident.

The publication states six police cars were spotted outside her home on 12 December, with officers called to a ‘domestic disturbance’.

Presenter Rick Edwards has joked that he should replace Caroline Flack on Love Island in a series of now-deleted tweets, after she was charged with assault by beating.

With the first winter Love Island due to begin in January, Caroline was planning to begin her 2020 soaking up the sun in South Africa.

Instead, the pressure is growing on ITV to sack the presenter after being arrested and charged for actual bodily harm on Friday morning, with fellow TV personality Edwards joking that he should be given a go at the presenting gig.

‘Well, ITV2,’ he wrote in a since-deleted tweet. ‘I’m pretty free in January, I’ll happily travel to South Africa, and I’ve never been charged with assault.’

He continued in a second deleted post: ‘Full disclosure though, I was once charged with public urination in New York. Hope that’s not a problem.’

Having presented Love Island since its first series in 2015, Caroline’s role on the show is up in the air after the 40-year-old presenter was charged with assault, with six police cars being called to a ‘domestic disturbance’ at her house.

Caroline is thought to have been arguing with her boyfriend Lewis Burton, 27, who was reportedly taken to hospital to be ‘treated for injuries.’

A police spokesperson told Metro.co.uk: ‘Caroline Flack of Islington was charged on Friday, 13 December with assault by beating.

‘She will appear on bail at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Monday, 23 December.

‘This follows an incident at approximately 05:25hrs on Thursday, 12 December after reports of a man assaulted. He was not seriously injured.’

Eyewitnesses claim that six police cars, including a van, showed up to the house at around 5.30am on Thursday.

They told the Daily Star: ‘I thought a criminal had escaped but then saw them running into her house. They were in there for over two hours.’

Taking to Twitter, the writer said: ‘Woken up to some really hard news about my friend Caroline Flack. Who I love very very much.

‘I will wait until I know the facts before I make a judgement, and I urge you to do the same.’

Caroline Flack’s ex boyfriend Andrew Brady has broken his silence following the Love Island star’s arrest.

The ITV host endured a turbulent relationship with the former Celebrity Big Brother star, which saw them get engaged and break-up several times in the space of a year.

However they decided to call it quits in November 2018 before Andrew, 26, jetted off to Australia to start a new life Down Under.

Taking to social media Andrew said: ‘Sad that I’m not surprised by the news.’

Caroline’s friend Dawn O’Porter has also spoken out in support of the ITV host.

On Friday morning, the 40-year-old presenter was arrested and charged for actual bodily harm, following an alleged row with boyfriend Lewis Burton.

Love Island star Maura Higgins sent the internet into a frenzy when she posted a photo of herself on a jet with a cryptic caption.

The 29-year-old Irish reality TV star took to Instagram to post the photo in a private jet while she held a glass of water and looked out of the window.

Rocking a short denim dress and white trainers, she’s looking relaxed and absolutely glowing.

But it’s the cryptic caption turning fans’ heads.

She wrote: ‘Off to the sun to shoot something very exciting…’

It comes about after Caroline Flack was arrested and charged with actual bodily harm on Friday morning, following an alleged row with boyfriend Lewis Burton.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6DSBh5hBXP/

Maura’s post prompted many to think she had been called in by Love Island producers to host the upcoming season of Love Island, filmed in South Africa and due to start next month.

One fan simply responded to her photo: ‘Take over as host of Love Island please and thanks’.

While another wrote: ‘Love Island I wonder.’

And another mused: ‘Are you heading down to SA by any chance miss Higgins’.

We don’t want to disappoint fans, but unless Maura has access to a Time Turner, it’s unlikely she’s going to host Love Island in South Africa at the same time she’s due to compete on Dancing On Ice in London next month

Sorry, guys.

Love Island’s Amber Gill ‘gets cosy with Joe Garratt’ on night out after Lucie Donlan split

Love Island stars Joe Garratt and Amber Gill were spotted ‘getting very close in a nightclub’ together, just one month after his split with Lucie Donlan.

In a video that surfaced online, Joe had his hands on Amber’s hips as they made pretty intimate eye contact in the club.

With Amber smiling, the video revealed Joe leaning in, before an eagle-eyed bouncer obstructed the camera’s view and then reportedly ‘kicked out and banned’ the person recording the video.

Confused? Let’s play catch up for those who aren’t following along.

Lucie and Joe were paired-up on the latest season of Love Island, but Joe was booted off the show fairly early on during a shock elimination.

Despite saying she had strong feelings for Joe, Lucie decided to stay in the villa, but after a couple of failed attempts at finding love in the villa, she was voted out.

The pair start dating in August and things seemed to be going well for a few months but then they split in November, according to The Sun.

Now things are well and truly over, as Joe was spotted getting cosy with the winner of the series, Amber.

The budding romance isn’t a complete shock, with Amber admitting on the show that she thought Joe was attractive.

Time will tell to see if this nightclub romance blossoms into something more.

Last week, fans urged show besties Ovi Soko and Amber to get together.

Addressing their close relationship while attending the Pride of Sport Awards in London, he told The Mirror: ‘Amber’s a friend. It’s gonna stay that way. 100%.’

Ovie also touched on his break up with Love Island’s India Reynolds and said he is doing OK after their split, while adding: ‘Break ups are never easy. They’re never easy for anyone.’

Ain’t that the truth.

Fans are calling for Caroline Flack to be replaced on Love Island following her arrest.

The 40-year-old was accused of attacking her boyfriend Lewis Burton at her home in Islington, London.

He was reportedly taken to hospital after the rumoured argument, but his injuries were not serious. Caroline also reportedly went to hospital after allegedly accidentally cutting her hand on broken glass during the row.

And while ITV is yet to comment on the subject, the bookies are already at it with their predictions of who could replace the host on Love Island (if it came to it).

Paddy Power makes Maya Jama the 6/4 favourite to head to South Africa to cover for Caroline.

She would be a popular choice with fans after receiving rave reviews when appearing on spin-off show Aftersun last year.

Also in the running is former Islander Maura Higgins at 3/1, Amber Rose Gill (7/1), while experienced presenter Laura Whitmore is rated 5/1 alongside Emily Atack at 6/1.

Gemma Collins, who has her own show on ITV, is rated 10/1, while the most likely male presenter is seen as Ant McPartlin (20/1) – who has a bit of downtime now after returning from the I’m A Celeb jungle.

While Holly Willoughby is the same price (20/1) after she excelled as a substitute for Ant in the jungle last year –picking up a Bafta in the process.

The bookies make it odds-on 4/6 that Flack doesn’t appear in this series but returns for next summer’s edition.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6DSBh5hBXP/?utm_source=ig_embed

Spokesman Paddy Power said: ‘With Caroline Flack in a spot of bother, it seems likely that ITV will take her out of the spotlight for the upcoming winter series of Love Island.

‘Maya Jama is our favourite to get the role – she fronted MTV’s True Love or True Lies dating show – and was a very popular Aftersun guest. Plus, her own single status is much-discussed at the moment after Stormzy’s apology song release.

‘Maura Higgins is the second favourite and would be sure to give the nation flutters if she got the job. She’s also more than qualified to talk about a successful Love Island coupling.’

Fans are also coming up with their own suggestions – and they have taken to social media to share their views.

Among the suggestions were Ant and Dec, Rylan Clark-Neal and even Iain Stirling’s partner Laura Whitmore.
