Caroline Flack has urged 'Love Island' couples not to rush their relationship after leaving the villa.

Last year, Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham moved in together, with Megan Barton-Hanson and Wes Nelson also trying to take the next step, but both couples have since broken up and the dating show's host has advised potential stars to "start again" with their romance once the programme is over.
She told the Mirror: "Don't put too much pressure on your relationship. Don't worry about being one step ahead of other couples, don't jump into moving in together too quickly.
"Once you're out of the villa, start again, start dating, start taking it slowly. Just enjoy it. There is no point rushing."
Caroline, 39, also admitted she finds it hard to be impartial towards the hopeful romantics.
She explained: "You want to say, 'I'm on your side!' But I have to be professional."
Meanwhile, the presenter recently defended the show following the tragic deaths of Mike Thalassitis, 26 and Sophie Gradon, 32, after some viewers called for the programme to be axed.
She previously said: "The show is a journey of love and emotions that everyone can relate to and learn from. We are a feelgood show.
"When something becomes popular there seems to be a desire to pull it to pieces and over-analyse it. This is about young singletons having fun, getting to know each other, in an amazing villa in the Spanish sun."
Caroline claimed the team give "first-class care" to stars "before and after" their time on the island, and suggested the issues go much further than the ITV2 dating show.
She added: "There is a spotlight on reality TV shows at the moment but sadly this is a global problem we are dealing with; a modern-day life for all that is becoming overwhelming.
"We need to stop blaming speculating without the facts. As a human race we all need to come together, communicate, open up, express ourselves, be kind and be understanding of what all of us are dealing with on a daily basis."
