ITV's Love Island will not air tonight after Caroline Flack's death

Sunday's episode of Love Island will not be broadcast following the death of its former presenter Caroline Flack but the current series will continue on Monday, ITV said.

Last night, ITV cancelled its Love Island: Unseen Bits episode following the host's tragic death.

Tonight, an ITV spokeswoman said: "Many people at ITV knew Caroline well and held her in great affection. All of us are absolutely devastated at this tragic news.

"After careful consultation between Caroline's representatives and the Love Island production team, and given how close we still are to the news of Caroline's tragic death, we have decided not to broadcast tonight's Love Island out of respect for Caroline's family.

"Love Island will return tomorrow night which will include a tribute to Caroline who will be forever in our hearts."

Caroline, the star who fronted Love Island, was found dead at her London flat at the age of 40.

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."
