ITV pulls Love Island from schedule after Caroline Flack's death

ITV has pulled Love Island from the TV schedule following Caroline Flack's death.

Caroline, 40, was found dead at her new flat in east London on Saturday.

Her family said in a statement: "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."

 

Love Island: Unseen Bits was due to air at 9pm tonight on ITV2. However, a BBC radio presenter has said it has been removed from the schedule.

Scott Bryan tweeted: "ITV2 has pulled tonight’s Love Island: Unseen Bits tonight from schedules. No word on main show yet."

On the ITV website, episodes of You've Been Framed are now scheduled to run from 9pm to 10.05pm - the original slot reserved for Love Island.

Following the news of Flack's death, 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."
