Caroline Flack has reportedly landed a job on Heart FM after leaving The X Factor.

The presenter, who recently announced that she wouldn’t be returning to host the ITV show this year, is thought to have been offered a new radio role.

According to reports, the 36-year-old has signed a £100,000 contract to appear alongside Gethin Jones in a new slot.

“Heart FM have been after Caroline for a while, they’ve offered her loads of money and reckon they’ve struck gold pairing her with Gethin,” a source told The Mirror.

“Producers are hoping they will be the station’s next hit duo.”

They added: “It’s likely to be a temporary position to begin with, but station bosses are hoping she stays for the long haul.”

Flack confirmed that she hadn’t been asked back to appear on this year’s X Factor in an statement back in February.

After co-host Olly Murs announced his decision to leave, she said: “I have had a brilliant time working on The X Factor over the last few years, and hosting the main show was just fantastic, I made some amazing friends.

“I'm looking forward to carrying on working with the team over at ITV.

Dermot O’Leary will return to host this year’s X Factor after a one year hiatus.
