Caroline was found dead at her home on Saturday 15th February after taking her own life.

The following night’s episode of Love Island was pulled from the air out of respect. When it returned the following evening, Iain fought back tears as he delivered an emotional tribute to his ‘true friend’ and colleague.

He said: “We are all absolutely devastated by the news that Caroline - a much loved member of our 'Love Island' family - has passed away.

Yesterday we said goodbye to Caroline. It was a small services filled with her friends and family. The day was spent sharing stories, singing songs and of course some tears were shed. As someone who had the worst FOMO in the world I know Carrie would have hated missing it. And her infectious laugh was painfully absent. You were so loved Caz, by so many - I hope you knew that. And I hope you’re now at peace. X

“Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this dreadful time...

“Caroline and me were together from the very start of 'Love Island' and her passion, warmth and infectious enthusiasm were an important part of what made this show connect with millions of viewers.

“Like many of you, right now we are trying to come to terms with what has happened. My only hope is that we can all try to be kinder, always show love and listen to one another.

“Caroline, I want to thank you for all the fun times we had, making our favourite show. You were a true friend to me. I'm going to miss you, Caz.”
