Love Island’s Caroline Flack and former fiancé Andrew Brady are back together after explosive row – as he is spotted walking their dog
The Love Island host and her boyfriend, Andrew Brady, were spotted walking the couple's French bulldog outside Caroline's flat in North London
CAROLINE FLACK has let ex ANDREW BRADY be top dog again – but he’s certainly not getting any treats yet.
We can reveal (depressingly) that the Love Island host and her former fiancé are back together once again.
And our exclusive snap shows the former Apprentice wannabe walking the couple’s French bulldog Ruby outside Caroline’s North London home on Thursday, and using his own key to enter her house.
That’s despite The Sun on Sunday’s exclusive last week detailing the pair’s most explosive bust-up yet, which resulted in Andrew dialling 999 for an ambulance to come to their home, saying the star had threatened to kill herself.
Now friends of Caroline — seen walking the dog on Friday, have confirmed that the most volatile relationship in showbiz is back on . . . for now.
A source said: “Caroline has been told by so many friends that she should get rid, but she is refusing because she still loves Andrew and is desperate to make it work.
“Everyone wishes Caroline will realise her worth because she deserves so much better.
“She could have her pick of any man so it’s such a shame she continues to pick him.
Andrew never apologises for anything and there is bound to be another fight soon.
“They are back together for now and everyone is holding their breath to see what happens next.”
Caroline fled to a London hotel after news broke of 999 drama and spent the next few days away filming the Love Island Christmas special.
It often feels impossible to keep up with the couple, who met in January and were engaged by April before breaking up weeks later.
But while her love life stumbles, Caroline’s career is soaring.
Earlier this week she confirmed she had landed the role as Roxie Hart in West End’s Chicago — a job we know Caroline has dreamed about since she was a kid.
So here’s hoping the star has an incredible 2019.
And if Caroline is definitely staying with Andrew this time, she should at least keep making him pick up Ruby’s droppings.
Simon: I will X-pand factor
SIMON COWELL has confirmed plans for a special all-stars show and Celebrity X Factor in 2019.
He admitted he was not keen on the last attempt, 2006’s The X Factor: Battle Of The Stars – and it is easy to see why.
The less-than-starry line-up included TV nutritionist GILLIAN McKEITH, the BECKHAMS’ former PA REBECCA LOOS and PRINCESS DIANA’s ex JAMES HEWITT showing off their supposed vocal talents.
But speaking ahead of tonight’s X Factor final, Simon told us: “This year’s show has been really fun. We did a celebrity one years ago. It was a disaster and I hated it but, for some reason, now seems like a better time.
“We want to do an all-stars series with a mix of former contestants and judges, a champions show and a celebrity version.
“Negotiations have begun and I hope and think it will happen.”
It's Mosses en masse
KATE MOSS has a new fashion rival – her stepmum Inger.
We can reveal the glamorous 56-year-old, who is married to Kate’s dad Peter, has signed with agency Models 1.
Inger is the fourth in a long line of Moss models – Kate and her sister LOTTIE are already established in fashion and Kate’s daughter Lila made her mag cover debut last month.
Models 1 has YASMIN LE BON, TWIGGY and SOPHIE DAHL on its books.
A source said: “Inger is over the moon at signing to Models 1 as, for a long time, she put all her focus on helping Lottie break into the notoriously difficult market.”
Imagine the pouting on show in the Moss family photoshoot this Christmas.
Riri's blue Christmas
WHAT do YOU do when December rolls in?
Personally, we like to curl up in our dressing gowns with a bottle of Baileys and watch Love Actually on repeat.
But RIHANNA?
The singer slips into some skimpy lingerie, heads outside and dives into a boat full of flowers.
Each to their own.
She wasn’t doing this for her own amusement, of course. It’s all to promote her new Savage X Fenty undies.
We took a quick look at the website and soon found a whip and a blindfold.
Better clear that search history before our other halves come across it.
Bruiser Bruno
SHIRLEY BALLAS has revealed she has been left battered and bruised by her Strictly experience – thanks to the flamboyant antics of her colleague BRUNO TONIOLI.
Head judge Shirley has borne the brunt of the excitable Italian waving his arms around and hitting her as he reveals his scores on a Saturday night.
Showing off her injuries at the 2018 Macmillan Ball at London’s Dorchester Hotel on Wednesday night, Shirley told us: “I like to work out to prevent the bruises on my arm.
“Honestly, I am taking boxing lessons to avoid him. He is great though, I love him.”
Hopefully the marks given by Shirley and Bruno to the celebrity contestants this weekend aren’t quite as painful.
Robbie eyes up Bambi
ROBBIE WILLIAMS wants a pay rise on top of his £10million X Factor salary – and now we know why.
The TV judge has acquired a rather expensive new hobby, which could quickly drain his bank balance.
We hear Rob has turned into a bit of an art fan and has just splashed out a huge £20,000 on just one painting.
The piece, named ‘Too Much Force’, is by mysterious street artist BAMBI – dubbed the female BANKSY.
It depicts a police officer in riot gear using an orange lightsaber as a weapon.
Rob joins a long list of celebs who love the artist.
DAVID BECKHAM acquired a pie-and-mash themed frame, ANGELINA JOLIE paid a five-figure sum for a racy topless painting of 1950s pin-up Bettie Page and KATE MOSS picked up a picture of a dog.
Given the price tags, when it comes to Bambi we’ll stick to the Disney film instead.
2019 is a Lipa year
DUA LIPA has certainly sparkled this year after dominating the charts for much of 2018.
And now the New Rules singer may dominate the magazine stands next year – after having a cosy dinner with the editor of British Vogue.
Dua, who donned green sequins and tassels to perform in Los Angeles on Friday was spotted looking thick as thieves with EDWARD ENNINFUL at West London restaurant Laylow last week.

Dua has previously featured inside the fashion bible but if she landed a cover it would make her the first British pop star to grace the front since FLORENCE WELCH in January 2012.
No doubt such an honour would annoy rival and fellow fashionista RITA ORA.
Meanwhile, fellow performer at LA’s Jingle Ball on Friday CARDI B clearly got Dua’s style memo about tassels.
No wonder Vogue is taking note.
