Caroline Flack's family release unpublished Instagram post written days before her death

The family of Caroline Flack have released an unpublished Instagram post that the Norfolk TV presenter wrote just days before her death.

In the post, she wrote that her "whole world and future had been swept from under her feet" following her arrest for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend Lewis Burton.

She also said that she "took responsibility for what happened that night" but added that it was an accident and she "was NOT a domestic abuser."

Caroline had been advised not to share the message on social media, but her mum Chris has now released it to the Eastern Daily Press newspaper so that people can read her daughter's words.
