The store owner-turned-reality star cleared things up on Instagram: "I saw online there was something between me and Caroline but I feel really embarrassed because I was supposed to stay seated the entire time, so, Caroline was doing the right thing by walking across....it's all new to me, I still walked the wrong way on Lorraine this morning."

"Me and Caroline get along really well I don't use Twitter and those words didn't come out my mouth...It’s all getting blown out of proportion. Me and Caroline had a little drink and a chat after Aftersun... I don't know what this is all about."

The tweet in question was posted by her friend, Paigey Banks, who wrote back in 2012 after seeing Caroline at Wireless festival: "Highligh of the dayyy seeing Caroline Flack and calling herrr a dirtyy p*do withhhh @francesca_allen hahaha."

However, Francesca insists there's no bad blood between the pair and a representative for her posted a statement that ‘Francesca would be mortified if she was judged based on the actions of a 16 year old friend.'

Caroline also diffused the situation and insisted the wellbeing of islanders are at the forefront of all the crew's minds, writing:

"As you know ... I hate commenting on stuff... I didn’t snub Francesca .. in fact quite the opposite .. made her feel very welcome as soon as she got to the studio. I don’t hold grudges.. and the wellbeing of our islanders is important to me. Thought she was a great islander."

She has also spoken about the hate she got for dating Harry Styles when he was 17 and she was 31, saying: "Once that was out, it was open season. After that anyone could say anything. In the street people started shouting at me 'p**dophile' and 'pervert.'"
