Last Thursday, police were called to Caroline’s home after what was said to be a jealous argument with Lewis got out of hand.

The television presenter decided to stand down from Love Island on Tuesday, four days after she was charged with assault.

The presenter, is said to be ‘devastated’, but for now, is only standing down from the sixth series, which ITV confirmed will begin on January 12.

Caroline broke her silence on Instagram and wrote: ‘There have been a significant number of media reports and allegations in regard to my personal life. 

‘While matters were not as have been reported I am committed to co-operating with the appropriate authorities and I can’t comment further on these matters until the legal process is over.

‘However Love Island has been my world for the last five years, it’s the best show on telly. In order not to detract attention from the upcoming series I feel the best thing I can do is stand down from Series 6. 

‘I want to wish the incredible team working on the show a fantastic series in Cape Town.’
