Caroline Flack has been found dead at her London flat aged 40.The presenter is believed to have killed herself and in a statement tonight her family said: 'We can confirm that our Caroline passed away today on the 15th February. We would ask that the press both respect the privacy of the family at this difficult time.'
Flack was best known for previously fronting the hugely popular ITV2 show Love Island, which has tonight been rocked by the third death of one of its former stars.
Contestants Mike Thalassitis and Sophie Gradon took their own lives following their appearances on the dating programme, throwing the show's future into question.
Flack's death comes just weeks before she was due to go on trial for assaulting partner Lewis Burton, who in December accused her of hitting him with a lamp before backtracking on these claims.
Yesterday, the model and tennis player, 27, posted a picture of him and Flack on Instagram and wrote: 'Happy Valentine's... Love You.'
