Caroline Flack and Andrew Brady are giving it another go after holding crunch heart-to-heart talks at secret location
Caroline Flack’s break-up with Andrew Brady barely lasted longer than an episode of Love Island.
I can reveal the ITV2 show’s host has got back together with Apprentice reject after heart-to-heart talks during a secret getaway.
The pair, right, travelled north near to Andrew’s home in Chester to work through their problems and he has managed to bag a second chance.
A source said: “Caroline and Andrew have worked things out away from the spotlight.
“She’s heard what he’s had to say and believes the relationship is worth another go. There’s just something about him that she thinks is worth holding on to.”
It was on Tuesday that Caroline pulled the plug on the two-month romance.
Her pals claim the telly host grew suspicious of their date nights being captured by snappers and accused Andrew of using her name to boost his showbiz profile.
She deleted all traces of him on social media and unfollowed him — the modern-day signal that a relationship is over.
But having re-followed Andrew on Wednesday, he has slowly worked his way back into her good books.
And their trip north has clearly put the romance back on track.
The Geordie reality TV regular enjoyed a nine-hour bender on Wednesday evening – and it’s a miracle she could still stand for these snaps with her barely-there dress still in one piece.
She began her night at a viewing party for her new MTV series The Charlotte Show – on Wednesdays at 9pm – and finished up in a London karaoke bar at 2am.
Joining her were reality telly pals including former Geordie Shore castmates Chloe Ferry, Sophie Kasaei and Holly Hagan, Towie’s Mario Falcone and Pete Wicks, and Love Island’s Olivia Attwood, who had stains on her shirt and was overheard moaning about ex Chris Hughes.
Speaking about making the show, Charlotte, who was with boyfriend Joshua Ritchie, said: “I don’t know why I did it.
“Halfway through I was like, ‘Damn, this is hard.’ I had so many breakdowns. I was screaming.
Rylan is Eurovision Big Cheese
Eurovision has just become even more fabulous.
I can reveal Rylan Clark-Neal will join Scott Mills to commentate on the two semi-finals live from Lisbon, in the week leading up to the main event in the Portuguese capital on May 12.
Speaking about his gig, to be screened on BBC Four, Rylan said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be saying I can’t wait to join the Eurovision family.
“As a massive fan of Eurovision I’ve already cracked out my Union Jack Spice Girls jacket and am packed, primed and ready to take on Lisbon.”
Graham Norton will comment on the grand final, on BBC1, where Surie will represent the UK. Mel Giedroyc will be the UK representative announcing what points we give our rivals.
After Bake Off, she should be good at dishing up just desserts.
Louisa says sorry for 'foolish' tweets
Louisa Johnson has apologised after a series of her old tweets emerged containing the use of the gay slur “f****t”.
The X Factor winner, right, yesterday hastily deleted several posts from 2013 in which she used the word as an insult.
It came hours after she was announced as a performer for Birmingham Pride in May.
I have always liked Louisa but could not ignore this after I criticised Jack Maynard and Stormzy last year for using the same language online. Thankfully Louisa was quick to apologise as soon as fans picked up on the tweets. She said: “I’m sorry for some of the comments I made at that time on social media.
“I was young and foolish and hanging around with the wrong crowd and didn’t know any better.
“That’s not an excuse, it’s an explanation.
“I have a lot of young fans and I know I can now use my voice for a message of positivity, inclusion and equality.”
I hope this teaches others not to use such hurtful words.

Mol eyes Saturday job
Mollie King may have paused her singing career but she is still desperate to reform The Saturdays.
The Strictly star, who co-hosts her last show with Matt Edmondson on Radio 1 tomorrow, is ready for a Spice Girls-style reunion. In an exclusive chat, she revealed: “I’d love to reform The Saturdays at some point. We’ve never officially broken up. It would be really fun to get back on the sparkly dresses and bust out some of the moves.”
But Matt hinted Mollie will be back to do more presenting after Example and Scarlett Moffatt take over co-hosting duties in the next few months. He said: “As far as radio is concerned, she’s got it and she’s got it really fast.” I’d love to see a reunion.
Don't give this a Mis
RUTHLESS! THE MUSICAL, Arts Theatre, London
I sent Bizarre critic Benjy Potter to check out a West End send-up:
This is the tale of demonic eight-year-old Tina, who will stop at nothing to get the lead role in her school show, even orchestrating a grisly murder plot. Starring Jason Gardiner, as Tina’s coach Sylvia St Croix, it is crammed full of macabre jokes and filthy double entendres.
Tracie Bennett’s cutting theatre critic Lita steals the first half with parody song I Hate Musicals, leaving the audience begging for more.
Don’t waste your time sobbing at Les Mis when Ruthless will have you rolling in the
aisles. ****

TOP DJ STEVE AOKI has hinted he has worked with CELINE DION on her new album after he remixed her 1997 worldwide chart smash My Heart Will Go On. He teased: “I know she’s doing her own album – she told me that she was full-on into the album mode.”
LINKIN PARK band member MIKE SHINODA has announced the release of his debut solo album Post Traumatic – inspired by the death of the group’s frontman CHESTER BENNINGTON last July. He said of the album, out on June 15: “It’s a journey out of grief and darkness.”
TODAY NE-YO premieres the lead single from his first album in three years. He has teamed up with US singer-songwriter BEBE REXHA and British rapper STEFFLON DON for Push Back, from the Good Man record which is due out later this year.
Cameron Diaz eyes Sweetest reunion
AFTER Selma Blair said her pal Cameron Diaz had retired, then took it back, the actress herself has had her say.
Cameron, who hasn’t made a film in four years, said she wants to meet up with her castmates from 2002 comedy The Sweetest Thing, because she has so much free time on her hands.
Her co-star Christina Applegate said: “I’m literally doing nothing. I’m semi-retired. So I’m around.”
Cameron, who wed Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden in 2015, added: “I am actually retired, so I would love to see you ladies.”
