''Yeah, she didn't handle heartbreak well. We went through all the doctors and they say her and thought no it's just a one-off but there was always that fear after that''

Jodie, Caroline's sister said she had a fascination with suicide for a long time. She said: '' It feels so weird talking about it because I know it's something she never wanted anybody to know about

''Each serious boyfriend, she sort of took a lot of tablets, drank a lot, and ended up in A&E situations a lot of times. She really didn't think she could cope with that feeling so it was her trying to control it''

Christine stated that Caroline was ''addicted'' to her phone and reading negative comments about herself on social media, ''' She would look at her phone all the time. It took her over''. she added.

Viewers flooded to Twitter after the documentary, One viewer wrote '' Watching the programme and it's heartbreaking such a beautiful person inside and out was a shame that she thought this was the only way out! Hope this helps people understand what she was going through.''

Another viewer said '' Oh my god this Caroline Flack programme is heartbreaking.''

''I am sat here in tears listening to Caroline's story and listening to her family talking about her.'' another said.

Christine said: '' I wanted to show Carrie in a positive light. I wanted all the last months of the things that were written about her and said about her, her being an abuser, and things like that, they're the things that stuck and got repeated and I just wanted to show she was an ordinary girl, that wasn't her.''
