Posting on Instagram, Flack said: “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.” The Sun reported that Flack is “absolutely devastated” about the decision, hinting that it wasn’t her call to leave the show.
