Caroline tragically died by suicide at the age of 40 on 15 February. At the time, Laura spoke about her friend on Five Live s radio show, saying: She was bubbly and for such a small stature, commanded a room. She loved to laugh and had the most infectious chuckle. She also had many struggles, I am not going to pretend she was perfect. She lived every mistake publicly under scrutiny. Caroline loved to love, that’s all she wanted, which is why the show Love Island was important to her.
Caroline passed away in February 2020
She continued: You don’t have to tear down someone to feel good about yourself. So, to listeners, be kind: only you are responsible for how you treat others and what you put out in the world. I have had messages and been harassed for doing my job and this is where the problem is. I want to use my platform to call people out. It s gone too far, your words affect people… Enough.
