ITV and Love Island have issued a statement following the death of Caroline Flack.
Caroline died at the age of 40, her family said in a statement.
The TV presenter died at her flat in east London.
The family statement said: "We can confirm that our Caroline passed away today, the 15th of February.
"We would ask that the press respect the privacy of the family at this difficult time and we would ask they make no attempt to contact us and/or photograph us."
An ITV spokeswoman said: "Everybody at Love Island and ITV is shocked and saddened by this desperately sad news.
"Caroline was a much loved member of the Love Island team and our sincere thoughts and condolences are with her family and friends."
Many former Love Island contestants paid tribute to her individually as well, with Merseyside's Michael Griffiths writing: "I can't actually believe it, this has knocked me sick... people need to understand the power of social media and the comments they make really resonate with people."
The troubled Love Island star stepped down from presenting the show after she was alleged to have assaulted her boyfriend Lewis Burton 27, at her then flat in Islington, north London, in December.
She entered a not guilty plea to the assault charge at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court and she was released on bail with conditions that stopped her having any contact with Burton ahead of a trial in March.
