It was a gripping finale for the conclusion of the first 'Winter Love Island' series last night. It was also a bittersweet one as the episode was dedicated to Caroline Flack.
Last week, a tribute to Caroline Flack also aired on the reality series, which Iain Stirling narrated.
Last night's was more extensive and featured footage of the former 'Love Island' host.
Laura Whitmore, who was a friend and colleague of Flack's, introduced the tribute tearfully.
