Caroline Flack ‘s boyfriend Lewis Burton has spoken candidly about the tragic death of his girlfriend and late Love Island star .
Caroline was just 40-years-old when she took her own life in February while waiting to appear in court on charges of assault by beating of Lewis.
During a chat on friend Steven Sulley’s YouTube channel, Lewis hinted he spoke to Caroline minutes before she died.
Lewis said: “My outlook on life is totally different.
“One minute you’re with someone and the next minute they’re gone.
“Within a 10-minute space of speaking to someone on the phone to never going to see them again. It’s f**king mad.
“You can’t explain it. It is what it is. It has changed my life.

“Everything I do now, I’m worried. I worry when I leave the house will I see that person again?
“I worry every day now. My mum rang me last night about 9.30pm in the evening and I’m f**king panicking on the phone.
“I’m thinking I don’t want to answer that. I’m very jumpy now.”
Lewis was on a skiing trip when he found out Caroline had passed away.
Recalling her final few months, he said: “That time we were going through was just so difficult, you couldn’t really see a way out.
“Obviously, she couldn’t unfortunately, but it’s a very difficult situation.
“I don’t talk about it. I put it in the back of my head and just get on with it.
“When I got that phone call you felt like your life was done. I was away at the time. I was skiing. I just dropped to the floor. I’ll never forget it. I’ll never forget it. I think about it every day.”
Fighting back tears, he continued: “Do you know what’s hard?
“It’s such a shame that in her head she couldn’t see a way out.
“That’s a mental health but if she just knew that it passes, everything passes.

“She had me. I was standing by her. It’s heartbreaking but it is what it is.
“You’ve just got to hope she’s in a better place.
“For me, it’s going to live with me… like I said, I think about it every single day but you deal with it.
“Is it right or wrong how people deal with it? No. I don’t know how to deal with it. I’m just dealing with it how I know and I’m getting by.”
Referencing his new relationship with Lottie Tomlinson, Lewis added: “I’m lucky I have amazing family and friends. I’ve got a lovely girlfriend now that supports me massively.”
