Two months after her arrest, Caroline Flack, 40, took her life at her home in Stoke Newington, North-East London. Her mother Christine has now revealed that the Independent Office of Police Conduct has urged the Met to reopen its investigation into the case of her beloved late daughter.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) recommended that the former Love Island presenter receive a caution following an incident with her boyfriend, Lewis Burton, in December 2019. Ms Flack allegedly struck Mr Burton while he slept because she believed he was cheating on her, an inquest heard in 2020. But the caution was overturned after Met Police officers appealed the decision and she was instead charged with assault by beating. Ms Flack was found dead in February 2020 at the age of 40, with a coroner later ruling she took her own life after learning that prosecutors were going to press ahead with an assault charge. The Met has now said it is making 'further enquiries' as new witness evidence 'may be available' relating to the actions of officers in appealing the initial CPS decision not to charge Ms Flack.

The Met police have been urged to re-open their investigation into the tragic death of Caroline Flack 'on the basis there may be new witness evidence available'.

EXCLUSIVE: Following her refusal to look into how the channel's reality stars treat their actors after a former X Factor contestant shared horrific experiences with her, ITV's under fire chief executive Dame Carolyn McCall was questioned further. Despite three Love Island actors, including host Caroline Flack, who took their own lives, Rebecca Ferguson has revealed how Dame Carolyn refused to launch the probe and fobbed her off to her deputy. The singer's letter to the channel came after she spoke to many former stars of ITV's shows who told their own difficult times with her. Aftercare of services such as the X Factor, Britain's Got Talent, and Love Island, she wrote to Dame Carolyn on March 11, 2021, asking her to investigate the code of conduct and post show aftercare.

Schofield was asked how he was feeling when he first appeared on camera after learning about his affair, saying: 'I think I know how Caroline Flack felt.' Ms Flack, a woman who committed suicide three years ago, hosted a number of television shows, including the well-known reality show Love Island and I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! NOW! Between 2009 and 2019, there have been no accidents between 2009 and 2019. Following her daughter's death, her mother Christine appeared on BBC's Newnight last night, where she expressed support for Schofield and accused ITV of not knowing anything about her daughter's death.

Schofield was asked how he felt when Caroline Flack said, and he appeared on camera for the first time after admitting to the Mail last week that he had an 'unwise but not unlawful' affair.' The 61-year-old said the fallout from his admission had been "relentless" and praised his two children for saving his life, adding that he'wouldn't be here if it wasn't for" them. Schofield's words have disbelief among those close to Ms Flack, who took her own life three years ago. One of the Mail said, "It's completely unbelievable that Phil would do this." What a low blow from him.'
