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.

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."
