As the news broke, a major influx of messages flooded social media morning the loss of the beloved TV host. One of the sweetest messages came from Arielle Vandenberg, the host of Love Island USA on CBS.

Caroline Flack’s final messages on Instagram
Flack had stayed off social media since the assault charges against her. The television presenter was heavily scrutinized by the British press and it was hard on her. On Christmas Eve she broke her social media silence to share a few words with her fans.
“Been advised not to go on social media … but I wanted to say happy Christmas to everyone who has been so incredibly kind to me this year,” she wrote. “This kind of scrutiny and speculation is a lot to take on for one person. I’m a human being at the end of the day and I’m not going to be silenced when I have a story to tell and a life to keep going with.”
She continued to explain to fans why she was leaving social media at the time.
“I’m taking some time out to get feeling better and learn some lessons from situations I’ve got myself into to. I have nothing but love to give and best wishes for everyone,” she ended.
Her final Instagram post before her passing came two days before her passing. On February 13, Flack posted a collage of four photos with her dog Ruby. The star looked happy cuddling her baby and giving it a lot of love. A heart emoji is what she used in the caption.
