Caroline Flack’s boyfriend has said his “heart is broken” as he paid a devastating tribute to the tragic star.
Lewis Burton said he was in “so much pain” after finding out his ex-Love Island host girlfriend had taken her own life yesterday.
In a tear-jerking post to Instagram, Lewis, 27, shared a photo of himself and 40-year-old Caroline cuddling on a sofa.
He said: “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.”
Caroline was found dead at her east London flat by a friend yesterday.
Her family said in a statement: “We can confirm that our Caroline passed away today, the 15th of February.”
The shock news prompted a flood of tributes from celebrities but also questions about the pressures faced by TV celebrities and about the decision to press ahead with her prosecution for an alleged assault on her boyfriend.

Flack, 40, stepped down from presenting the current Love Island show after she was alleged to have assaulted Lewis Burton 27, at her then flat in Islington, north London, in December.
She entered a not guilty plea to the assault charge at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court and she was released on bail, with conditions that stopped her having any contact with Burton ahead of a trial in March.
Last December, Caroline was involved in an alleged incident with Lewis at her Islington flat. Police were called following complaints of a “domestic disturbance”.

In a statement released on Saturday night her management company criticised the Crown Prosecution Service for pressing ahead with what it called her “show trial” even after her boyfriend said he did not support it.
Francis Ridley of Money Talent Management, said: “In recent months Caroline had been under huge pressure because of an ongoing case and potential trial which has been well reported.
“The Crown Prosecution Service pursued this when they knew not only how very vulnerable Caroline was but also that the alleged victim did not support the prosecution and had disputed the CPS version of events.
“The CPS should look at themselves today and how they pursued a show trial that was not only without merit but not in the public interest. And ultimately resulted in significant distress to Caroline.”
