Caroline Flack has released a statement after viewers accused her of 'snubbing' Francesca Allen after her Love Island departure.
The Essex boutique owner and Scouser Michael Griffiths left the villa after a public vote put the three couples with the lowest votes in danger.
The three couples were Michael and Francesca, Chris and Harley, and Anna and Jordan.
The rest of the islanders decided in their couples on who to save.
All of the couples voted for Anna and Jordan, bar Ovie and India who decided upon Chris and Harley.
Following the brutal dumping, Francesca appeared on Love Island spin-off show Aftersun to speak to host Caroline.
But come the end of the interview viewers thought they saw Francesca going in for a hug, only for Caroline to walk away from her.
However, the Flack has revealed on Twitter that this is 'the opposite' of what happened.
She said: "As you know ... I hate commenting on stuff... I didn’t snub Francesca .. infact (sic) quite the opposite .. made her feel very welcome as soon as she got to the studio.
"I don’t hold grudges.. and the wellbeing of our islanders is important to me. Thought she was a great islander."
This comes after Francesca's pal claimed she called Caroline a "dirty paedo" a number of years ago.
The comment is believed to be in reference to the 39-year-old's relationship with One Direction singer Harry Styles back in 2011.
