Think Caroline Flack is hot? Wait 'til you see the international versions of her who host Love Island around the world

And they’ve all got their own glamourous version of Caroline Flack hosting them.

From Australia to Finland to Germany – the UK show has been such a massive hit that other countries have been desperate to get in on the action.

They’ve recruited local versions of our leggy host to front their series – and they’re all stunning.

From experienced telly hosts to former reality show contestants, beauty queens and popstars – they're all big names in their home countries.

Let’s have a look at all the different versions of Caroline around the world. Of course, no-one beats the original and the best …

Love Island Australia – Sophie Monk

Former Marilyn Monroe impersonator Sophie, 38, shot to fame in Australia by appearing on the Aussie version of Popstars.

She won a place in girl group Bardot, before going solo three years later.

She then moved to LA and landed roles in Date Movie, Entourage and even dated Benji Madden from Good Charlotte before moving back to Australia.

Since then, she’s appeared on Celebrity Apprentice Australia, was the Bachelorette in the most recent Australian series – and then landed the job on Love Island’s first Aussie show.

Love Island Finland – Shirly Karvinen

Finland’s version of Love Island hasn’t even started yet – maybe they were waiting for the villa to become free.

But the show has already chosen it’s host – former actress Shirly, 25.

After winning Miss Finland in 2016, Shirly said she wanted to go into TV presenting – and Love Island is her first job.

The show, which will also be shot in Spain like the UK and Aussie versions, starts filming later this year and contestants win a slightly reduced £23,000.

Love Island Germany – Jana Ina

Brazilian model Jana, 41, is hosting Germany’s version of the show – the first series kicks off next month on 11 September.

She’s also a former popstar – with three singles in Spanish, English and German – and has hosted her own afternoon TV chat show.

Jana is married to German TV presenter Giovanni Zarrella and they have a son, Gabriel.

A bit like Germany’s version of Katie Price and Peter Andre, the couple had two reality shows based around their lives in 2008 and 2010: one called ‘We’re Pregnant’ and another called ‘Pizza, Pasta and Amore’.

Love Island Norway – Tone Damli

Tone, 30, is another former popstar – she got famous appearing as a contestant on Norwegian Idol in 2005.

After finishing second in the competition, Tone represented Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest, coming second (again).

She finished third in their version of Dancing With The Stars in 2006, and tried out for Eurovision again in 2013. She did not win.

She’s recently moved into TV presenting, landing a job on the Idol panel and also the Love Island job.

Love Island Sweden – Malin Stenbäck

31 year old former radio host Malin landed the Love Island job a couple of months ago – and has even worn Caroline’s pilot’s outfit when it was announced.

It’s the first ever series of Love Island in the Scandi country – and it kicks off on TV on September 3.

Malin started out in radio, as a breakfast radio host’s coffee-making sidekick, before hosting the Swedish Idol spin off show, Extra.

She’s also a behind the scenes TV producer and has interviewed Olly Murs for Swedish TV.
