'I’m 35 and single' Caroline Flack hoping to 'steal chat-up lines' from Love Island stars
DESPITE being the new host of Love Island, Caroline Flack has admitted she is far from qualified to offer advice when it comes to matters of the heart.
The presenter, who kicks off the revamped dating series tomorrow night, confessed that she is hoping to pick up pointers on chatting up the opposite sex from tis year's contestants.
The 35-year-old is currently single after splitting from music manager Jack Street last year, which came prior to her winning Strictly Come Dancing.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror in Majorca - where the show is filmed - Caroline said: "I’m a good listener… But I don’t know that I can offer love advice. I’m 35 and single, look right here. I don’t think you ever learn a lesson.
"That is why I am doing the show, to be honest, to take advice from the contestants. I can jot down their chat-up lines."
Love Island will feature 12 singles, including Lauren Richardson, who was linked to Zayn Malik, Page 3 star Jessica Hayes and Jon Clark.
When asked if she would consider internet dating, Caroline added: "My friend is on Tinder… But I have never done it. I think I am old fashioned and I like to get into conversation with someone and get to know them that way."
Caroline's comments come just days after she said that she wouldn't make a good contestant herself.
"I wouldn't do Celebrity Love Island. I don't think I'm up for finding love on telly," she told the newspaper. I'd be sitting in the corner if I had to do Love Island."
However the down-to-earth beauty revealed that she enjoyed cinema dates more than anything else.
"Some of my best dates have been cinema dates. I think it's a really nice date, you get to sit near each other and talk about it afterwards."
