Caroline admits she took some flak over X Factor exit
She hosted the main X Factor show in 2015 and prior to that she hosted the spin-off, The Xtra Factor.
Caroline Flack has said her exit from The X Factor showed her how “tough the industry can be”.
Flack, 37, and Olly Murs replaced the ITV show’s long-time host Dermot O’Leary in 2015, but both she and Murs announced they would not return after just one series.
“It doesn’t matter who you are, it’s never just a walk in the park. You win some, you lose some.
“It’s probably gonna happen to me again somewhere down the line with another job. But I can’t walk away. I’m not a quitter.”
She said: “Honestly, I’m so grateful to all of the production team and to Simon (Cowell) for the opportunities that changed my life. I can’t go back and moan about The X Factor because Xtra Factor was so brilliant.
Flack was recently seen on screen fronting ITV2’s reality dating series Love Island.
She dismissed rumours linking her to one of the show’s contestants, Mike Thalassitis, who was nicknamed Muggy Mike.
“I’m not talking about bloody Muggy Mike! Do you honestly think if I was having an affair with Mike I would put it on Instagram?”, she told Fabulous.
Flack added that she is friends with all of the contestants from the series.
