Former Love Island host Caroline took her own life, aged 40, in February last year.
Ahead of Caroline Flack: Her Life and Death airing, the presenter‘s mum Christine likened her daughter to Meghan Markle.
What did Christine Flack say about daughter Caroline and Meghan Markle?
In a chat with Eastern Daily Press, Chris said she thought not enough lessons had been learned since her daughter committed suicide.
She told the publication: “I look at the headlines about Meghan Markle and everything that is said about her and it just makes me think, ‘Have we learned nothing?’ The national press has been awful to her.

“It’s almost as if people think that because she is beautiful and because she is articulate that she can not think these things – and it was the same with Carrie.”

In a preview of the upcoming Channel 4 programme, Christine gets emotional as she reflects on the times she wasn’t able to be with her daughter.
She looks over a Mother’s Day card she received from Caroline, in which the star wrote: “Mum, you’re the best. Sorry I can’t be there. Have a happy Mother’s Day, all my love Carrie.”
It’s almost as if people think that because she is beautiful and because she is articulate that she can not think these things.
She expressed her frustration at just how much live got in the way of them being with each other in person. And Christine appeared to regret how work got in the way of her spending more time with her daughter.
She says: “She used to say to me, ‘Oh, I’ve booked this Mum, you coming? Come with me’ or ‘We’ll go here, we’ll go there’.

Choking up, Christine continues: “And I thought, ‘Oh, do you know you just shouldn’t’… all the times you miss with someone. And you should just do it, shouldn’t you?”
