She rarely talks about her love life, so when we got a chance to grill Caroline Flack on all things boys in Majorca just before she began presenting Love Island (ITV2, daily), we went for it. Oh, and we asked about other stuff, too.
On her type…
“I’m there for a shoulder to cry on, but that’s as far as it goes,” says Caroline, when we ask if she fancies any of the contestants. “I’m not really into muscly men. I don’t have a type, but when I take my boyfriends home to my mum, she says, ‘Looks the same as the last one,’ and I’m like, ‘He doesn’t!’ We think your mum’s onto something, Cazza.
On being on the show...
From flings with Harry Styles (who’s 17 years younger than her) to speculation about flirting with her X Factor co-host Olly Murs, over the years we’ve become fascinated with Caz’s love life. So we were surprised when she told us she’d be a rubbish Love Island contestant. “I’d be really boring!” she says. “I don’t think I’d want to kiss anybody in front of the camera.” Oh, and she wouldn’t wear a bikini, either. “The worst feeling ever. No!” Maybe stick with presenting?
On ex Jack Street…
While she’ll be egging everyone else on while on the island, Caroline reckons holiday romances should stay abroad. Talking about her last boyfriend, she says, “[My advice would be] don’t go out with them afterwards, because it didn’t work out for me.”
On dating apps…
While confirming she’s currently single, Caroline says she won’t be heading online to find herself a date. “I’m actually more of a conversation person,” she tells us. “I like to meet someone – I’m quite old-fashioned in that way.”
