A new Disney+ documentary has cast fresh light on the relationship between television presenter Caroline Flack and her boyfriend Lewis Burton, revealing intimate details about their life together before her tragic death.
The Heartbreaking Documentary
Caroline Flack: Search For The Truth, a two-part documentary streaming on Disney+, features Caroline's mother Christine Flack embarking on an emotional journey to understand her daughter's final months. The beloved Love Island host tragically took her own life in February 2020 at age 40, while facing trial for alleged assault against Burton and battling significant mental health issues under intense media scrutiny.

Caroline Flack began dating model and former tennis professional Lewis Burton in June 2019. According to close friends featured in the documentary, Caroline was completely besotted with him and the couple had made concrete plans to move in together.
In a text message to a friend revealed in the film, Caroline enthusiastically wrote: "Lewis is going to move in. New life!" However, friends also reflected on the relationship's volatile nature, with one noting: "They had a really nice time together, until they didn't."
