Love Island are left baffled as host Caroline Flack skips major recoupling episode... as she parties in London with fiancé Andrew Brady

Each week, Love Island contestants are left quaking in their swimwear as Caroline Flack descends on the Majorca villa, knowing it signals one of them will be dumped.

But viewers of the racy ITV2 series were left baffled on Thursday night, when they noticed that a major elimination episode — which saw a total of four contestants dumped from the island — didn't feature the 38-year-old TV presenter at all.

And, as fans flocked to Twitter to question her whereabouts, the stunning TV personality took to Instagram to share a snapshot of herself partying up a storm at the House Festival in London with her 27-year-old fiancé Andrew Brady.

All is well: Caroline Flack, 38, and Andrew Brady, 27, put on a loving display as she sat on his shoulders at House Festival... after unfollowing each other on Instagram

Give 'em the cold shoulder in Alice McCall like Caroline

Caroline Flack took a break from her Love Island presenting duties and partied up a storm at House Festival!

Splitting her time between the Mallorcan sun and London's current heatwave means she's become quite the dab-hand at dressing for the warm weather... no wonder she looked so amazing here!

She's normally known for her love of the high street, but the TV presenter opted for a designer pick instead. She wore a gorgeous Alice McCall jumpsuit, which she had customised to a shorter playsuit length. It's the exact outfit she wore to present the first Love Island episode, in fact!

Instead of Caroline's weekly slow-motion entrance into the villa ahead of delivering the news on contestants' status on the show, the hopefuls received news of losing the popular vote via text messages, which were read out by Samira Mighty.

One viewer tweeted: 'I like how they easily replaced Caroline Flack with a mobile phone tonight and nobody gave a s**t. Check your contract love.'

Wrote another: 'Jesus, Caroline flack shows up once a week and now she cant be a***d and has the islanders doing her job.'

After watching the episode, which saw Love Island Lothario Adam Collard among the dumped, a third stated: 'That was the weirdest dumping I’ve ever seen?? Where was Caroline Flack? Why didn’t they show them walking out in slow mo?? Literally Adam's been there since day one and they didn’t even show him leaving.'

Even Keith Lemon referenced the star's absence from the show ahead of his follow-up show Coming In America airing, when he quipped in his signature irreverent style: 'I only tuned in for Caroline. Where is she?'

However, while the micro-blogging site was flooded with speculation as to Caroline's reasons for being absent, it's actually regular protocol for her to miss an episode or two each season. 

When contacted by MailOnline for comment, a representative for Love Island stated: 'Caroline isn't always present for the dumpings or the recouplings — we have used the text mechanism several times before over the last four series.'

MailOnline has also contacted a spokesperson for Caroline Flack for comment. 

Meanwhile, Caroline shared a snapshot of herself sitting on her beau's shoulders as they soaked up the festivities at the House Festival, held at Kenwood House, on Thursday night. 

The TV personality looked incredible wearing a bright yellow dress as she watched events unfold, sporting a huge smile on her face.

Andrew's face was just visible but it was clear it was her beau, who proposed to her after a whirlwind two month romance. 

The couple had something of a rocky start to their romance and split after a few weeks amid worries of cheating and claims Andrew was using Caroline for fame.

However, so sure was the pretty Love Island host that things were going to work, she had his initials tattooed on her wrist just four weeks after they started dating. 

The couple did look frosty on their recent dog walk, prompting fears that all was not well. Moreover, the couple have unfollowed each other on Instagram.

A source later dismissed the notion of any friction in their relationship, telling MailOnline: 'Caroline and Andrew are very happy and are living together. 

'As they see each other everyday they don’t feel the need to follow each other on social media.'

Caroline recently gushed about falling in love with her man in a recent Cosmopolitan interview.

She said: 'People talk about meeting someone and feeling as though you’ve known them your whole life. That’s what it felt like when I met you.

'I'll never forget seeing you walk into the restaurant – tall, with a smile 10 miles wide, not just for me but for everyone in there. Talking to you was effortless.

'There were no first-date nerves – just two people laughing and getting to know each other until the early hours. It was how all first dates should be.'
