Laura Whitmore took over as host of ITV2 dating show Love Island this year when Flack stepped down after being charged with assault following a row with boyfriend Lewis Burton.

She was awaiting trial after pleading not guilty to charges of assault by beating at a hearing last month. She was on bail and awaiting trial to begin on 4 March.
