He previously shared with The Sun: “Even answering this question doesn’t seem right, to be honest. I’m still in shock, really.
“To think I won’t have a conversation, a laugh, work, or even just get a random voice note from Cazza again – I just can’t get my head around it. I heard the news when I was away on holiday.
“My phone went at 2.23am and I’ll never forget it. My manager told me and I just stared at my phone for hours, I didn’t know what to do. I just didn’t want to believe it. I was numb to any feelings and then I just broke down.
“Since then I just have constant waves of emotions – one minute I’m OK, the next I’m so sad for her. It’s hard, I’ll always miss Caz a lot.”
Caroline’s passing
Caroline was accused of hitting her boyfriend Lewis Burton, 27, over the head with a lamp at her London home – charges which the pair both denied.
She took her own life on February 15, hours after learning lawyers were going ahead with assault charges. Her management team condemned the CPS for pushing ahead with a ‘show trial’.
The CPS issued a statement offering its “deepest sympathies” to Caroline’s family.
They later closed Caroline’s assault case at the end of February.
