Caroline Flack is hoping to rent out her London home, worth £1.1million, according to reports.
The presenter, 40, has been keeping a low-profile lately after pleading not guilty to an assault charge involving boyfriend Lewis Burton, and had put her flat on the market in the hope of selling.
However, it’s now claimed Caroline has decided against her original plan and now wants to lease her flat instead.
Sources had claimed to The Sun that Caroline was renting as ‘an extra source of income’, they said: ‘[The flat has] been on the market for a while, but [Caroline has] taken it off and will now rent it out, as it makes more business sense.’
When contacted by Metro.co.uk, Caroline’s rep declined to comment.
The Love Island host is back in London, after returning from a trip to Los Angeles, and she was seen wishing the ITV2 series good luck at Tuesday night’s National Television Awards.
Caroline posted on Instagram: ‘Good luck to all the team and cast at tonight’s NTAs… it’s such a fun night… cmon Love Island.’
She stepped down from the show’s first winter series, currently going ahead in South Africa, and Caroline threw her support behind Laura Whitmore who has stepped into replace her.
Laura said landing the hosting gig is a ‘dream come true’, but wishes it was under ‘better circumstances’.
Caroline was arrested in December and later pleaded not guilty to assaulting her boyfriend Lewis, and is currently awaiting trial. He is standing by her and has denied claims she hit him with a lamp.
It’s been claimed the ‘door is still open’ for Caroline to return to Love Island, with a show runner revealing ITV and the star are in ‘constant contact’ still.
Caroline is reportedly plotting her return to TV and has vowed to ditch her party lifestyle in a bid to ‘reinvent’ herself.
A source told Closer magazine that she has purposely been ‘avoiding usual celeb haunts’ and is instead ‘going on long hikes, reading, doing yoga and taking care of herself with a treatments, healthy food and lots of sleep.
They added: ‘She is more keen than ever to get out of the city and escape the stress of it all.’
