Caroline Flack ‘s former boyfriend Lewis Burton has reportedly grown close to Lottie Tomlinson.
The reports come five months after the Love Island host tragically took her own life.
According to the MailOnline, the tennis coach, 28, and social media influencer, 21, bonded over the grief of losing their loved ones, with Lottie losing her mum Johannah Deakin aged 43 to leukaemia in 2016 and her younger sister Felicite, 18, died last year following a drugs overdose.
The publication claimed Lottie, the sister of One Direction singer Louis, 28, met Lewis at a party in May hosted by Caroline’s friend Lou Teasdale, which was held to mark three months since her untimely death.
