Olly Murs and Dawn O’Porter pay tribute to Caroline Flack marking five months since her death

‘Clinging onto my memories like she clung onto fun,’ writes Dawn O’Porter

Olly Murs and Dawn O’Porter have paid tribute to their friend Caroline Flack marking five months since her death.

In February 2020, it was reported that the former Love Island presenter had taken her own life at the age of 40.

In new posts shared on Instagram, Murs and O’Porter recalled some of their favourite memories with Flack, with whom they were both close.

Writer O’Porter shared a photograph of herself with Flack, in which the late television presenter is smiling while looking off-camera.

“Five months. Some days it feels like it happened yesterday,” O’Porter wrote.

“Clinging onto my memories like she clung onto fun. I miss you my love.”

In Murs’ Instagram post, he shared a video from a photo shoot he and Flack took part in for Heat magazine.

In the clip, he and his former X-Factor co-presenter are messing around while on set and striking poses.

“Been watching old videos of us all day today Caz!” Murs stated in the caption.

“Five months have past already and there is not a day that goes by I don’t think about ya!”

Murs wrote that this particular photo shoot that he and Flack participated in “was the funniest and the best one”.

“I’ll never forget it!” he said. “Your laugh was the best, just wish I could call ya and hear it again!”

In April, Laura Whitmore, who replaced Flack as host of Love Island in January, said “it’ll never be OK“ after her death.

Speaking to Cosmopolitan, Whitmore said her friend was “so strong-willed and feisty”.

“I remember thinking, ‘God, I wish I could be as strong as her’. I felt like if people said things, it wouldn’t bother her. But obviously it did because everyone is human,” the television and radio presenter stated.

“I don’t want to speculate reasons because nobody will ever know. (But) it did frighten me.”
