Caroline Flack’s devastated boyfriend has shared an unseen photo of the couple laughing and smiling on holiday.
Lewis Burton posted the tear-jerking snap to his Instagram account with a broken heart emoji this afternoon.
In the photo, the 27-year-old is seen leaning his head on Caroline’s chest as the pair beam with happiness.
As part of Caroline’s bail restrictions, put in place during her court hearing in December, the pair were banned from contacting and seeing each other prior to the TV host’s trial in March over assault charges.
Following Caroline’s untimely death, Lewis posted a heartfelt tribute to his late girlfriend over the weekend, and said he was “so much pain” after finding out the news the star had taken her own life.
“He wrote: “My heart is broken – we had something so special.
“I am so lost for words I am in so much pain I miss you so much I know you felt safe with me you always said I don’t think about anything else when I am with you, and I was not allowed to be there this time I kept asking and asking.
“I will be your voice baby I promise I will ask all the questions you wanted and I will get all the answers nothing will bring you back but I will try make you proud everyday.
“I love you with all my heart.”

The pair were involved in a “domestic disturbance” at the star’s Islington home in December. Police arrested and charged Caroline with assault by beating.
Following the assault charge, she stood down from her Love Island presenting duties and Laura Whitmore filled her shoes for the Winter series.
During her court hearing, held at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on 23 December, she entered a not guilty plea and was released on bail, with conditions that banned her having any contact – or seeing – Burton before the trial.

His emotional post comes hours after an inquest opened at Popular Coroners’ Court surrounding the 40-year-old’s death.
Caroline was found hanged in her home, an inquest into the star’s death heard.
The small screen star was found dead at her home in Stoke Newington on Saturday 15 February after taking her own life.
