He said: “Before our next performance, I just wanted to add that over the weekend we learned the awful news that a member of the BRITs family, our friend, Caroline Flack, tragically passed away.

“She was a kind and vibrant person with an infectious sense of fun. She will be sorely missed.

“I’m sure I speak for everyone here when I say our thoughts are with her friends and family.”

It was followed by Lewis’s emotional track, which he recently revealed was written after his grandma’s death.

Caroline’s shocking death came hours after she was told prosecutors would be pushing ahead with an assault trial – despite boyfriend Lewis Burton’s requests to drop the case.

She was said to have been determined to prove her innocence when the case eventually went to crown court, scheduled for March 4.

But she was also tormented by strict bail conditions which prevented her from contacting Lewis until after the trial – which her managers slammed as a “show trial”.

Her team said she was terrified about the case coming to trial and footage of her arrest being played out in court.

Lewis, 27, rushed back from a skiing holiday after being told the shocking news of her death.

On Friday he had posted a picture of the couple, saying: Happy Valentines. Love You.

A source close to the star said: They are trying to make out it was a really serious assault, that Lewis suffered a significant injury and that Caroline may have been an ongoing danger to him.

Its total nonsense, the whole thing was designed to be a glitzy show trial.

Now theyre trying to cover their tracks by vaguely claiming it was in the public interest.

There was no public interest this was a minor incident blown out of proportion when the CPS knew Caroline was incredibly vulnerable. Prosecutors have some very serious questions to answer.
