Fans have accused Lauren Goodger of making Caroline Flack’s death “about herself” – as they slammed the Towie star’s “self-centred” tribute post.
Goodger, 33, was bombarded by angry comments after mourning the tragic TV presenter with a racy cleavage picture from a night out and a statement about her own mental health struggle.
She wrote: “I’ve thought before a few times I want to die but then I realise I am stronger than this.
“I am never going to let the stitch ups the bad press the hate the let downs the terrible pap pics and the heartache and the stress that caused ongoing anxiety that I’ve been through in business money family partners break me one minute I am loved the next I’m slated I’ve done this job for 11 years nearly and I’ve accomplished a lot.

Another raged: “This just needs to be about Caroline.”
A third added: “Don’t get me wrong, I agree with self love and being proud of how far you’ve come and well done for that however I don’t think you should have combined your accomplishments with post for Caroline Flack… I think it’s very distasteful.”
A fourth Instagram user blasted: “Let’s think of Caroline Flack now, not you. Why don’t you actually post a pic of Caroline and not of yourself posing.”
A fifth added: “Being mentally unwell doesn’t make you weak it’s an illness- if someone dies of cancer you don’t say ‘oh weren’t strong enough to fight it'”
