This article below is an interview with Matt Richardson, he presented the Xtra Factor with Caroline, this was before Andrew or Lewis, it's very telling of what she was like as a person, she clearly was troubled. Matt says she was very stubborn
“I can't sit here and pretend our working relationship was plain sailing. We argued a lot and fell out a lot.
“But we sit down and we'd really talk it out. She could be difficult and stubborn sometimes. We pushed back against each other.”
I think her stubbornness and paranoia is what led to her downfall, I think its all too easy to blame the boyfriend who was only on the scene a few months when she had been like this for years.
Both Matt and Olly Murs hinted that she could be difficult and that she would obsessively check twitter during the ad breaks on Xtra Factor, long before her Love Island heydays.
The truth is the woman should of sought professional help years ago, but she didnt, she was 40 years old and jumped from disastrous relationship to the next leaving a trail of destruction in her wake, she hung out with people much younger than her and lived the party lifestyle, courted the press, sold stories and pics to the press when it suited her but couldnt handle situations when they didn't go her way, I dont buy the emotionally abused by Lewis scenario at all, she liked lads, he was a lad, she should of got herself a man but that wasn't what she wanted, she was a teenager is a 40 year olds body, sure Lewis probably was riding on the coat tails, maybe he wasnt as in to her as she was him, but doesnt justify him being lumped on the head with something in his sleep and then being blame for her downfall and suicide, nope that was all Caroline, she just couldn't cope with fame and adulthood, a sorry tale but no one to blame but herself.
CAROLINE FLACK'S former Xtra Factor co-host Matt Richardson has opened up about his friendship with the late Love Island presenter, as the comedian said she was sometimes "suspicious of people" because she had been hurt in the past.
