Your support makes all the difference.The family of the late Love Island presenter Caroline Flack has released previously unseen photos of her as a teenager, ahead of a new documentary about her life and death.
The forthcoming Channel 4 documentary promises to “delve beyond the headlines to reveal the complex woman behind the public persona”.
It will feature never-before-seen footage and childhood home videos, as well as interviews with her twin sister, Jody.
Flack took her own life at the age of 40, on February 15 2020.

The newly released images feature Flack as a teenager, and in both she wears red lipstick and smiles broadly at the camera.
The second is a school photograph taken in the 1990s and shows her with cropped hair.
A final image sees the TV star as an adult with her head tossed back and her hair spread outwards.
The documentary will feature tributes from Olly Murs, her co-host on The Xtra Factor, fellow presenter Dermot O’Leary, and family and friends. It will air on Channel 4 in March.
