The TV presenter began her career in the comedy series 'Bo' Selecta!' in 2002 and went on to host shows on the ITV network such as 'The Xtra Factor.'
Caroline Flack, former host of U.K.'s Love Island, has died. Her death was confirmed by her family in a statement via the Press Association on Saturday. She was 40.
"We can confirm that our Caroline passed away today on the 15th February," the statement began. "We would ask that the press both respect the privacy of the family at this difficult time."
While no cause of death was given, multiple reports in British news outlets noted that Flack was found unresponsive at her home in London.
She began her career in the comedy series Bo' Selecta! in 2002 and went on to present shows on the ITV network such as The Xtra Factor. Flack began presenting the dating reality series Love Island in 2015, which she became well known for. The reality series follows a group of young men and women living in a Spanish villa together and hoping to find romantic connections.
Flack stepped down from the series in 2019 following a domestic assault charge involving her partner, tennis player Lewis Burton. She was replaced by Irish TV host Laura Whitmore.
In a statement given to The Hollywood Reporter, an ITV spokesperson 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."
Flack was born in 1979 in London. Among her additional TV credits, she had guest appearances in Celebrity Juice, Britain's Got More Talent, Loose Women, Sunday Brunch and Strictly Come Dancing among others.
In the coming days, Flack was due to face trial for the alleged assault.
