Love Island Finalist Curtis Pritchard Pays Tribute To Caroline Flack | Lorraine

love

and friend Curtis Pritchard joins us this morning. I still can't believe we're having this conversation. Really I can not. I wish we were here. I couldn't read anything over the weekend. I really couldn't and I'm sure we all felt that way this morning. I think they all did it because whether you've followed Caroline's career closely or watched any of her shows, she had a massive impact, she was a huge part of a broadcast landscape is a very important part of the people's lives because she was always there and for me yesterday, even when I was cooking the roast dinner, there was this guy Paul, if you like to keep an eye on your day to day.

I'm sure a lot of people felt this at home, so if it's just about everyday activities and getting on with it because the news came in such utter shock on Saturday, this well documented that I had done a lot. of pressure with this impending CPS trial that and You've mentioned that there was a lot of anger after the initial shock that came out on social media and in today's newspapers, other than that aside, the facts are too clear to to see that an absolutely horrible body was discovered on Saturday afternoon discovered by her. father after her friend Lou alerted her father to the fact that she could not return to the property and that she had actually been staying with Caroline for a while and this is due to reports that paramedics were also attending the apartment .

Friday and they assessed Caroline and told us Caroline said no I don't really need to go to the hospital on that and they thought I was in a better place tragically it clearly seemed like that wasn't the case so you can only imagine how it must be for her to be in that fishbowl under this enormous amount of pressure understandably LaVon was taken off the air this weekend we have an ITV statement here many people had to know Caroline well and I stood by it. It is with great affection that all of us are absolutely devastated by this tragic news after careful consultation between Caroline's representatives and the be

love

d Island production team and given how close we still are to the news of Caroline's tragic death, we have decided not convey Lavina tonight's dubious respect. to Caroline's family Love Island is coming back tomorrow night which will include a

tribute

to Caroline who will be in our hearts forever so obviously tonight she's going to be paid on the show she absolutely loved loved the nature and and she was completely in love so she left she was the host she was synonymous with and you guys must have been so sorry so Curtis and her became friends because of the show yeah she was such a big part of the show you all know and foot i remember the first time i met her it was actually a memory so we didn't have a lot of time to talk but she was so professional so amazing at what she did and then i remember we met after the final and in we actually had a real chat she was lovely probably thanks Pat and I'll tell you that's what a lot of Love Island contestants say and as I just said on Good Morning Britain she he was always there with the trademark hair flip but he was also there with a hug and socializing with everyone after which in a very very inclusive way it wasn't one of those twists if you like that he pulled the ladder, you know? once the show was over and she disappeared, oh no, she, she, the driving force, a very important part of the band, it's kind of a rough week, so for Laura Whitmore, imagine Richard, I mean they were clearly friends, She obviously took over the show, yeah, um, hi, just that's time with Laura I know she did a radio show yesterday so she's incredibly excited about what happened she was in where I know Laura very well and of course everyone her partner Ian who is that the voice of love

island

went out to love

island

to south africa and Laura felt very much that she was holding the baton and that Caroline was coming back yeah you know that was the place she was at and of course she was like You say, Christine, you were incredibly emotional on your show this weekend. we can hear a little bit which is heartbreaking, it's actually very hard to hear each other and you mean irony?

Social media has been used a lot for the outpouring of grief and rightly so, but it's coming. I hope that actually, no one gives Laura Whitmore any trouble, no snake, no pain because she was a great addition to the Love Island show and I hope people don't push her saying she took a job or something. she wanted to get that out there not well since you say she was just holding her back yeah I absolutely adore she had crippled full support when she took over obviously plus

tribute

s coming from celebrities and stars alike. Anton's coach tweeted that we are. both devastated here the news about

caroline

flack

is beyond sad beyond words so tragic our thoughts and prayers are with her family rest in peace

caroline

ali's was also heartbreaking over the weekend if you read her instagram post it says that my heart is forever broken i lost something today that i will never ever get back and that is you and of course they housed the ex together.

They were very, very good friends. Louise Redknapp posted this on Caroline when things were hard for me and you were going through the same thing. It was such a difficult time that you reached out to me. I was so proud to be your friend. You were our girl, which, again, Curtis echoes. Your feelings are a big part of love. The Allen family, very, very inclusive. heartbreakingly tragic i cant even find my words rest in peace Clara and Louis Burton of course her partner Caroline due to the impending CPS case was unable to have any contact which in itself is heartbreaking. obviously posted and retweeted a post that Caroline said you know in a world you can be anything be kind and that's the theme and that's awesome no I think we need to be more in 2020 now as I don't think people he should be using social media as a way of negatively commenting on people because it really has a massive impact, he's alive and you know the doors, you know this Curtis and when he's black and white it's so hard to escape that you can get out of the program and you have a dozen positive comments and then you only see one and you feel completely crestfallen and you think you know you might be in the public eye but what you do deserve this amount of scrutiny is from people you've never met and it's very easy to pick up a phone or a computer and you know, anonymously, write something else on it and I think that's fine, but then how do you change it? i'm willing to put something i in black and white i have to have the right to be in contact with you then in fact i have to go really thousands of people you know going online today with a request you know the legacy It would be great if we can get something out of this. terrible tragic event caroline's law do you know where the source is that many of these stories that are online and in the press are attributed to them being responsible you know they are under scrutiny and they are guilty yes if that happened and we got to that stage because that skips needs a much bigger problem than just a show or being a celebrity because this toxic conversation is happening in every workplace and it's happening in playgrounds God forbid and we have to take this back no I know how we can reverse that tie, but we have to do that, and you helped him yourself, didn't you, Curtis? it's really because we go in there as normal people and we come out one hundred percent you know it's not we've been thrown fifty percent we come out and you're right in the public eye and that's amazing so I can't say a bad one word about the show because it's really amazing and it's helped me a lot, but if you're not ready and you don't have someone to talk to, that's why I encourage people to talk to someone no matter what. small, no matter how big the problem is, there will be someone out there who will listen and people just need to talk to get things off their chest.
