The 34-year-old recently recounted the tragic way she found out her friend, and the show's former presenter, Caroline Flack, had died, admitting she dismissed initial talk she saw on Twitter whilst appearing on Kate Thornton's Table Talk, saying:

"Looking back now, I found out about Caroline on the Saturday and I found out in a way I wish I didn't. It was something on Twitter that someone had tweeted initially that I disregarded because there's always so much stuff."

"Someone had tweeted something about Caroline but there's so many things that would be said about Caroline that you wouldn't really take everything as truth so I kind of ignored it then I had a message from my friend from LA who was staying in my house and she was like, 'Where are you?' and I said 'I'm on my way home', I was in the shops and she said 'Can you just come home now?'"

Caroline Flack died aged 40 in February after taking her own life.
