Caroline Flack’s manager has shared a sweet video of the late star lip syncing to her favourite song.
The former Love Island host was found dead on Saturday 15 February, with an inquest this week provisionally saying she died by suicide.
And as her friends, family and fans mourn, the star’s manager has remembered her with a joyous video of Caroline lip syncing to Rupert Holmes’ classic Escape (The Piña Colada Song).
Nathan Smith – who also reps Amanda Holden, Alexandra Burke and Matt Cardle – posted a series of clips to his Instagram story, where Caroline sat in a dressing room and mouthed along to the words of Escape.
The presenter was seen giggling and swaying back and forth, before laughing out loud at the end.
Earlier this week, Nick Grimshaw dedicated the Piña Colada Song to Caroline, while paying tribute to his late friend and former X Factor colleague.
Grimmy shared that he had struggled with choosing a song to play in honour of Caroline, saying: ‘I spoke to some of our mutual friends before and said I wanted to play something heartfelt, I dunno, sad to suit the mood – but there was one song that kept coming back, and it’s not sad, so it feels kind of weird to play this song, but it also feels the most appropriate because it reminds me of her.’
Before playing Escape, Nick said: ‘I just thought there was maybe a few lessons to learn from this, and I think that one of those things was something she tweeted about, which is about being kind to people. It’s a very vital good lesson for all of us, I feel.
‘You never know what someone is going through and kindness, it sounds simple, but it’s key.
‘I think the other thing we can take from this is to take care of your mental wellbeing, I think it’s so important. So if you are struggling, or going through anything, or having a hard time, I think the best thing you can do is just reach out and talk to someone, it really helps.
‘There’s a tendency to think you’re alone, or a crazy person, but you’re not. And the reality is, most people struggle and feel down from time to time, I know I do, and talking to people is key.
‘So I think those are the lessons we can learn from this, being kind to one another and speaking to someone if you need it.’
Since her devastating death five days ago, Flack has been honoured on Love Island and at the Brit Awards.
It is unknown as of yet whether Love Island will make a further tribute to the star on Love Island’s finale this Sunday.
It is believed the islanders have not been informed about her death.
