Earlier today, Caroline Flack , 40, announced that she had stepped down from hosting Love Island series six this winter, following her arrest last week.
Now, TOWIE star Olivia Attwood, 28, who was in Love Island in 2017, is reportedly one of the favourites among the show's producers to take over the role of Aftersun host.
A source told The Sun: "Olivia starred on Love Island in 2017 – she knows exactly what the Islanders will be going through.
"Olivia has really proven herself as a TV star. Since making a name for herself she's worked on a number of shows including Crackin' On, Celebs Go Dating and TOWIE, as well as appearing as a guest on I'm A Celebrity… Extra Camp and Aftersun.
