Love Island presenter Caroline Flack admits she doesn't fear being single and she admits some of the happier times in her life have been when she was unattached.
The 38-year-old star, who recently parted ways from her fiancé Andrew Brady, believes "love comes in all different shapes and forms".
Speaking to Fabulous magazine, she said: "When I was younger I did (fear being single) because people tell you that you have to have done this and that by a certain time - you should have kids by this time and you should be married - and we're kind of taught that by books and fairy tales."
"But actually as you get older and experience life, you realise that it's not about that. Love comes in all different shapes and forms - from friendship and sisters and mums - and as I've got older I've definitely learned that some of my happiest times have been when I've been on my own."
Flack added if everyone was "doing things at the same time then life would be so boring".
"I just think, 'Why do you care? Why do you care where I am in my life?' So I just ignore it and live life day by day," she added.
Flack is currently preparing for the Love Island live finale, which airs on 3e at 9pm on Monday.
