Caroline Flack is reportedly set for a massive pay hike.
The ‘Love Island’ host – who is now one of the most sought-after stars on British TV – has tripled her salary after landing a £1.2 million-a-year contract with ITV.
A source said: "Caroline negotiates a good deal. She drove a hard bargain. It is thoroughly deserved and she is highly valued at ITV."
Caroline’s pay rise is, in part, explained by the fact that ‘Love Island’ will soon appear on TV screens twice a year.
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror newspaper, the insider continued: "Her fee for two months each year was £450,000 plus expenses but she’d only agree to commit to both series with a massive pay rise.
"She has really risen up through the ranks at ITV and is a hit on ‘Love Island’.
"She’s part of the furniture – the show wouldn’t be the same without her."
Caroline, 39, has already spoken enthusiastically about fronting a second series of ‘Love Island’ each year, saying it was "going to be a long, hot winter".
Meanwhile, Paul Mortimer, the head of digital channels at ITV, said the decision was taken in light of viewer demand.
He explained: "In response to viewer appetite, a new batch of young singletons will deliver some highly anticipated post-Christmas romance and drama from our new and luxurious location."
