Caroline Flack Found Dead In Her London Apartment at 40

News has just broken this evening that Caroline Flack has been found dead in her East London apartment.

The ex-Love Island host was due to go on trial for domestic assault charges against her partner in the coming weeks.

The presenter, had entered a not-guilty plea against the charges in December of last year.

Just this week she had broken her social media silence since being ‘advised’ not to go on social media.

Caroline had been keeping a very low profile on social media in recent weeks, since she was charged with assault against her boyfriend Lewis Burton back in December.

Flack had a successful career in TV, beginning with sketch show Bo! Selecta back in 2002. Her fame rose as she got bigger and bigger presenting gigs with I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here NOW! in 2009, then in 2011 as co-presenter with Olly Murs on The Xtra Factor.

Her meteoric rise came when she landed the hit show Love Island in 2015.

Speaking once since the charge, on Christmas Eve Caroline took a moment to thank those who have been kind to her, she also explained that she has been advised not to use social media.

“Been advised not to go on social media… but I wanted to say Happy Christmas to everyone who has been so incredibly kind to me this year.”

Recently, Caroline’s boyfriend Lewis was forced to deny rumours that the pair had split, despite rumours circulating. Sharing a picture of himself and Caroline on Instagram stories, Lewis said:

“We ain’t split. Can’t wait to see you.”

Later that day Caroline also posted, but shortly deleted:

“I’m going to speak today… mine and my family’s life is no longer up for entertainment or gossip.”

Our thoughts go out to her family and friends at this time.
