Caroline Flack has shared an Instagram message thanking her fans for their support.

Following today's court hearing in Highbury London, the TV presenter took to social media to acknowledge the situation. The 40-year-old said: "Thankfully I know a lot of you will not believe all that you have heard and read following today's court hearing...thank you for all your continued support and love. It's going to be a relief when I can give my side of the story when I'm allowed to". Flack pleaded not guilty to assaulting her boyfriend, Lewis Burton, with a lamp during this morning's court hearing at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court. According to the BBC, Burton does not support the prosecution and declined to press charges. However, Flack will stand trail for at the court on March 4. Her bail conditions say she is not permitted to contact or visit Burton at his home despite a plea from her solicitor to lift these restrictions in time for Christmas. Last week, the TV personality stepped down from her role as Love Island presenter, releasing the following statement.

"There have been a significant number of media reports and allegations in regards to my personal life. "While matters were not as have been reported, I am committed to cooperating with the appropriate authorities and I can’t comment further on these matters until the legal process is over. "However, Love Island has been my world for the last five years, it’s the best show on telly. In order not to detract attention from the upcoming series I feel the best thing I can do is stand down for series six. I want to wish the incredible team working on the show a fantastic series in Cape Town."

Bray native Laura Whitmore has been confirmed as the new host and will front the show when the new winter series kids off in January.
