Love Island host Caroline Flack has announced her split from fiancé Andrew Brady.
In a statement confirming the news on Twitter, Flack wrote: “I’m sad to announce that Andrew and I have decided to part ways. Unfortunately, it was not to be. I wish him all the best.
“At least there’s a villa waiting for me. It’s back to the ol’ grafting.”
The news of the engagement between Flack, 38, and former Apprentice star Brady, 27, has come as a shock to fans of the shows.
After meeting through Instagram and dating for three months, the pair announced their engagement in April.
The relationship first blossomed when Flack followed Brady on Instagram after seeing him on TV. "You followed me back with the simple, emotionless line: 'Thanks for the support,'" she revealed in a recent interview with Cosmopolitan.
"It made me laugh so I gave you my number. A few days later, we met," she wrote.
According to Flack, she knew immediately that this relationship was different from her past relationships.
She said: “People talk about meeting someone and feeling as though you’ve known them your whole life. That’s what it felt like when I met you.”
In the same interview, Flack reflected on her past relationships with men she’s “loved, lost and found,” including Harry Styles.
The Love Island presenter acknowledged that she used to date men who were “hopelessly inappropriate” for her but suggested that the relationship between her and Brady was the first time a partnership had been about friendship as well as love.
The couple previously split in March before reuniting days later.
