It comes after Carol filled in for Lorraine Kelly last Friday to host her eponymous daytime show as the host recovered from contracting Covid-19.
But Carol seemed more ready for Mallorca when she donned a personalized Love Island bathrobe, dressed with a matching water bottle – in true island style.
The TV icon embraced the hit ITV2 show as she layered the white cloak over her existing outfit, which had her name written in pink letters on the left.

Fellow host Andi Peters also gifted her a water bottle, matching the one the famous islanders are often seen sipping.
Carol’s blond locks were left in a tousled style as she looked ready to enter the famous villa.
Aside from the costume-clad Love Island debriefing portion of the show, the host wore a bright pink sweat for the look — with a three-quarter sleeve.
