A week after the former Love Island host was found dead at her London home, pal Janette paid tribute to the “incredible” 40-year-old.
And the touching Instagram post was soon after liked by Caroline’s boyfriend Lewis, 27.
Sharing a photo of Caroline beaming at the beach, Janettewrote: “My favorite photo of hers… Today marks a week since I found out my beauty @carolineflack has died.
“I have taken time away from social media & tv to process this tragic loss and had loads of time to think about our times together w/o all of the cluster.
“And I keep coming back to the same conclusion…. she was incredible!!
“I want to continue spreading her love, her laughter, and making the people that I encounter feel the way that she made me feel…. AWESOME!
“I love you so much my dear friend. I hope you have found peace, and that we can find a way to create peace for all of us in this world. #BeKind”.
Caroline had been plunged into despair after the decision tocharge her with assault in Decemberdespite Lewis, 27, begging the Crown Prosecution Servicenot to proceed with the case.
The former Love Island host was found dead in her east London flat on Saturday, the day after she had been told that the CPS would continue with the case against her.
‘JUST BE KIND’
Grieving Lewis previously the emotional statement hours after her manager slammed the CPS for pursuing a “show trial”and banning the couple from making contact.
He included a picture of the pair of them on holiday in the post, showing Caroline happily posing with her arms around him.
And as tributes flowed in for Caroline, her family shared an unpublished Instagram post written by the star, in which she revealed she felt that the “walls” she had built around herself had “collapsed”.
An inquest has since been opened and adjourned into the star’s death as police investigate.
The Met Police referred itself to the watchdog for an “independent assessment.”
It is standard practice for a referral to be made to the Independent Office for Police Conduct when a person dies or is seriously injured after recent contact with police, the force said.
A Met spokesman said no officers have been suspended, placed on restricted duties, or served with investigation notices, and no issues have been identified.
Caroline is the third person linked to Love Island to have killed themselves.
Sophie Gradon, who appeared as a contestant in the show in 2016, was found dead at her home in 2018 at the age of 32.
Mike Thalassitis, who appeared in the 2017 series, was 26 when he was found dead in a park in March last year.
