Caroline Flack’s family have released a haunting unpublished Instagram post she wrote before she tragically died.
The 40-year-old television star, who took her own life last Saturday, told in a tear-jerking message how she had accepted responsibility for an incident with her lover Lewis Burton but insisted an alleged attack was just an “accident”.
The tragic former Love Island host also defended herself, saying she was not a domestic abuser in the unseen message that was written at the end of january – but never uploaded.
Today her family released the heartbreaking statement and claimed her advisers told her at the time not to post it but that they were putting it out now so her voice would be heard.
The Love Island star wrote in the post: “For a lot of people, being arrested for common assault is an extreme way to have some sort of spiritual awakening but for me it’s become the normal.
“I’ve been pressing the snooze button on many stresses in my life – for my whole life. I’ve accepted shame and toxic opinions on my life for over 10 years and yet told myself it’s all part of my job. No complaining.

“But I am NOT a domestic abuser. We had an argument and an accident happened. An accident. The blood that someone SOLD to a newspaper was MY blood and that was something very sad and very personal.
“The reason I am talking today is because my family can’t take anymore. I’ve lost my job. My home. My ability to speak. And the truth has been taken out of my hands and used as entertainment.
“I can’t spend every day hidden away being told not to say or speak to anyone.
“I’m so sorry to my family for what I have brought upon them and for what my friends have had to go through.

“I’m not thinking about ‘how I’m going to get my career back.’ I’m thinking about how I’m going to get mine and my family’s life back.”
Her mum Chris shared Caroline’s final words with the Eastern Daily Press, after her advisers told her not to post the message.
She said: “Carrie sent me this message at the end of January but was told not to post it by advisers but she so wanted to have her little voice heard.
“So many untruths were out there but this is how she felt and my family and I would like people to read her own words.”

“Carrie was surrounded by love and friends but this was just too much for her.”
“Her friends Molly, Lou, Sam, Liam and Simon need a very special mention and lots of thanks for trying so hard to keep her safe.”
Mrs Flack added: “Jody her twin sister was there her whole life for her but this time nothing could take away the hurt of such injustice
“As Carrie would say: ‘In a nasty world just be kind.'”
Caroline’s family made a statement about her devastating death, saying: “We can confirm that our Caroline passed away today on the 15th February.
“We would ask that the press both respect the privacy of the family at this difficult time.”
An inquest into Caroline’s death will be opened at 10am today.
Following her death, an ITV spokeswoman said: “Everybody at Love Island and ITV is shocked and saddened by this desperately sad news.
“Caroline was a much loved member of the Love Island team and our sincere thoughts and condolences are with her family and friends.”
