An unearthed tweet sent from her friend Paige Banks reads: "Highligh of the dayyy seeing Caroline Flack and calling herrr a dirtyy pedo withhhh @francesca_allen hahaha (sic)."
After the tweet was unearthed, Francesca's rep said: "This was a historic tweet that has not come from Francesca directly.
"Francesca can’t reply as she is in the villa but she would be mortified if she was judged based on the actions of a 16 year old friend.
"She has a lot of respect for Caroline and is looking forward to meeting her."

"After that, anyone could say anything. In the street people started shouting at me 'paedophile' and 'pervert'.
"I've never felt I was much older than Harry. I still feel 18 and I probably act that way half the time.
"Although it was just a bit of fun we decided it was best to keep it to ourselves as we were both working for Simon Cowell."
