It comes after Caroline’s ex Harry Styles appeared to pay tribute to her on the red carpet at the awards ceremony.
Harry appeared to pay tribute to Caroline by having a black ribbon pinned to his blazer, which is believed to be a symbol of remembrance or mourning.
Tributes have poured in on social media following the news of Caroline’s tragic death.
Her family said in a statement at the weekend: “We can confirm that our Caroline passed away today on the 15th February. We would ask that the press respect the privacy of the family at this difficult time.”
ITV called Caroline a “much-loved member of the Love Island team”, adding: “Everybody at Love Island and ITV is shocked and saddened by this desperately sad news.”
The channel also revealed it was in “close contact” with Caroline and were “constantly offering her assistance and help”.
Before her death, Caroline was reportedly distraught over the Crown Prosecution Service’s decision to pursue her assault trial for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend, Lewis Burton, back in December 2019.
