Caroline Flack TRIPLES her pay in brand new Love Island deal

Caroline Flack has reportedly tripled her pay packet after signing a new three-year deal with ITV.

The Love Island host is said to have negotiated £1.2million for each year after bosses revealed the reality show will air twice a year from 2020.

Caroline will host the winter version, filmed in South Africa, as well as the original summer version, which will still take place in Majorca, Spain.

‘Caroline negotiates a good deal. She drove a hard bargain. It is thoroughly deserved and she is highly valued at ITV,’ a source told The Mirror.

‘Her fee for two months each year was £450,000 plus expenses but she’d only agree to commit to both series with a massive pay rise.

‘She has really risen up through the ranks at ITV and is a hit on Love Island.

‘She’s part of the furniture – the show wouldn’t be the same without her.’

Earlier this month it was announced that Love Island will have two series a year off the back of the 2019 series being the most watched for adults aged 16-34 across any channel.

‘Love Island has proven yet again to be the perfect format that engages younger audiences. In response to this viewer appetite, a new batch of young singletons will deliver some highly anticipated post-Christmas romance and drama from our new and luxurious location.’
