Caroline Flack's best friend, celebrity hair stylist Lou Teasdale, has shared a poignant photograph of the Love Island host playing with her daughter as a baby. Teasdale, who was with Flack hours before her death, captioned the image: 'This little lady misses you Caroline'.
In an Instagram story posted on Monday, Teasdale sought advice on helping her eight-year-old daughter cope with grief, writing: 'She's lost two very special people who lived with us in the space of 12 months and I wanna make sure I'm saying the right thing - if there's such a thing.'
Flack was found dead at her home in east London on Saturday at the age of 40. She had taken her own life. Teasdale also posted a gallery of pictures, writing: 'I don't know if this is okay or not, but Caroline and Lou have so many beautiful photos together that I decided to make this little tribute! Hope Lou is okay because I'm sure Caroline is going to be always with her!'
Another friend, TV producer Mollie Grosberg, shared a Valentine's Day photo of Flack in an extended Instagram tribute. The picture showed Flack in a red dress, with the caption: 'Our funny Valentine bought us cookies and oat milk this year.'
Grosberg wrote: 'I can't even find the right words to say here... Everyone remember her in the best way Carrie always had a smile on her face, a naughty laugh and her heart open wide. When she let you in, you were the luckiest.'
