Love Island host Caroline Flack has seen her salary triple after scoring a £1.2million a year contract with ITV.
It was announced earlier this week that the ITV2 reality show will soon 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 - meaning the contract is worth £3.6m.
A TV source revealed to Mirror Online : “ Caroline negotiates a good deal. She drove a hard bargain. It is thoroughly deserved and she is highly valued at ITV.
“Her fee for two months each year was £450,000 plus expenses but she’d only agree to commit to both series with a massive pay rise.
“She has really risen up through the ranks at ITV and is a hit on Love Island.
“She’s part of the furniture – the show wouldn’t be the same without her.”
Former Xtra Factor host Caroline fronts the Uber Eats ads as well as hosting Love Island’s spin off programme, Aftersun.
The extra series will see the action taking place in a luxury villa in South Africa.
The dating show is currently the most watched programme for adults aged 16-34 across any channel.
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.
