British celeb world shaken after ex-Love Island host found dead at 40
RT Deutsch
Former Love Island presenter Caroline Flack has been found dead in her London flat, aged 40. Flack was due to appear in court in March, after she was charged with assaulting her boyfriend.
Flack’s body was found on Saturday, and the cause of her death has yet to be confirmed.
Famed for hosting reality show ‘Love Island’ on ITV between 2015 and 2019, Flack’s personal life was a turbulent one. The presenter was due to appear in court next month to stand trial for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend, Lewis Burton, outside her home in December.
Flack was barred from contacting Burton since the incident, though the pair shared photos of each other on Instagram the day before Flack was found dead.
British celebrities and fans took to Twitter on Saturday to send their condolences. Some blamed the tabloid press for “hounding” the former Love Islander following her arrest last year.
