Caroline Flack has confirmed she's standing down as the Love Island host following her alleged assault on boyfriend Lewis Burton.
The TV presenter confirmed the news saying, 'Love Island has been my world for the last five years, it’s the best show on telly. In order to not detract attention from the upcoming series I feel the best thing I can do is to stand down for series six.
'I want to wish the incredible team working on the show a fantastic series in Cape Town,' she posted on Instagram.
It's currently not known who will replace her as the host on the ITV2 show although Maya Jama, Laura Whitmore and Rochelle Humes have all been tipped.
The shocking news comes just days after Caroline was arrested and charged for assaulting her boyfriend Lewis in her London home.
However following her arrest Lewis shared as photo of himself and his girlfriend on Instagram along with a red love heart emoji.
He has since defended her following all the backlash she has received by writing on social media, 'I'm tired of the lies and abuse aimed at my girlfriend.
'This is not a witch hunt this is someone's life. I have not signed any NDA. Why would I? Caroline is the most lovely girl. Loyal and kind. She doesn't deserve any of this.'
It was just weeks ago that Caroline's ex-fiancé Andrew Brady claimed that the end of their relationship saved his life.
On Instagram he wrote, 'It's exactly a year tomorrow since I left a very toxic relationship and got away. Leaving probably saved my life.
'I mark it one year on by doing something I probably should have done a while ago.'
Following Caroline's arrest, Andrew shared a series of photos from a non disclosure agreement and simply captioned the post, '#AbuseHasNoGender'

Who will replace Caroline Flack as Love Island host?
1 of 11Maya Jama
Maya Jama ticks all the Love Island host boxes. Hilarious? Check. Loved by the public? Check. Cool outfits? Check. It's probably high time a single gal took the reins on the show too.
2 of 11Maura Higgins
We know Curtis said she wouldn't be able to do the show because of Dancing on Ice commitments, but we can't let go of the dream yet - okay? The Love Island star recently posted a snap on Instagram captioned: "Off to the sun to shoot something very exciting...", so maybe the dream isn't dead just yet.
3 of 11Rochelle Humes
The former pop-singer and presenter Rochelle Humes has also been tipped as a favourite to replace Caroline. Sadly she's neither confirmed or denied her interest in the show. Maybe they can sort out a Saturdays reunion for the final too?
4 of 11Rick Edwards
After Caroline's assault arrest was made public, presenter Rick Edwards suggested he might make a great replacement. He tweeted: "Well, ITV2. I'm pretty free in January, I'll happily travel to South Africa, and I've never been charged with assault."
5 of 11Holly Willoughby
She stepped in on I'm A Celeb, why not take one for the team and fill in for the Flack on Love Island? Holly's usually pretty busy presenting Dancing on Ice in January, but maybe she fancies some sunshine this year.
6 of 11Gemma Collins
Everyone's been getting behind the GC on Twitter, with users demanding she become the show's new host. The TOWIE star has even got a petition on the social media site boasting nearly 60,000 likes.
7 of 11Ovie Soko
After the Love Island final, fans of the show were calling for Ovie to claim the £50K and win the show alone. His nation's-favourite status could mean he would make an amazing host on the winter version of the show - can you imagine this face on TV every night? Yes please.
8 of 11Alison Hammond
Alison is TV presenting GOLD and we know she'd be hilarious as the new Love Island host. We haven't heard anything from her yet and it's radio silence from her social media, but watch this space...
9 of 11Laura Whitmore
As presenter of Survival Of The Fittest Laura certainly has the right credentials to replace Caroline as the host of Love Island. Plus she's dating Love Island voiceover and general funny man Iain Stirling. Now that would be a true Love Island power couple.
10 of 11Clara Amfo
Clara Amfo does an amazing job as BBC Radio 1's mid-morning presenter, so she'd make the perfect Love Island host. We're not sure she'd be able to record her radio show from the villa, though.
11 of 11Rylan Clark-Neal
Obviously Rylan has got to make the cut. He might be a little too busy filming the new series of Ready Steady Cook for the BBC, but he's reality TV royalty and it would be just great telly.
