Caroline Flack heartbreakingly admitted that she ‘couldn’t see any way out’ before she took her own life, according to final voice notes and text messages that have now come to light
Caroline Flack said she ‘couldn’t see any way out’ in heartbreaking texts and voicenotes sent before her death.
The former Love Island presenter took her own life in February 2020 at the age of 40 as she was awaiting trial for the alleged assault of her boyfriend.
A coroner determined that her mental health had worsened following her arrest, with an inquest hearing that the presenter had been “hounded” by sections of the media. Now the star’s desperate final messages have been shared – with the permission of her family – in a brand new documentary.
The TV presenter’s mother Christine retraces her daughter’s steps before her tragic death as part of new Disney+ documentary Caroline Flack: The Search for the Truth. In the trailer, Caroline can be heard saying: “I’m just really going all over the place, my head doesn’t know what to think at any point.”

Mum Christine says the phone messages Caroline left behind tell the ‘real story.’ A new trailer for the documentary shows a message sent by the late Love Island presenter which reads: “I feel the lowest I’ve ever felt, I don’t see any way out of this.”
Revealing why she has decided to share the untold side of her daughter’s story, Christine admits: “I’ve got nothing to lose. The worst thing in the world has happened. My daughter has died. As a parent, we think our children are always gonna be there. I want justice for my daughter.”
And in the very last moment of the documentary trailer, the former Strictly Come Dancing star is heard saying: “I think I should make a documentary about all this! What do you think?” as she reflects on the trauma of her looming court case. Caroline was also replaced on her Love Island hosting job as she waited for her court trial.
Caroline was accused of assaulting her boyfriend, Lewis Burton following a row at her flat.
In 2023, the Metropolitan Police apologised to Flack’s family for not keeping a record about why they charged her with assault.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) had recommended the former Love Island presenter receive a caution following an incident with her boyfriend but this was overturned after an appeal from the Met Police who instead charged her with assault by beating.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said the force was ordered to apologise to Flack’s family following a review by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) which found there was not a “record of rationale” to appeal against the CPS decision.
Split into two parts, Caroline Flack: Search for the Truth will see mum Christine revisit the events that occurred prior to Caroline taking her own life in 2020. Both episodes will be released on the streaming platform on November 10.
Ahead of the release date, Disney+ shared an emotional scene from the documentary in which Christine visits her daughter’s grave with family as they discuss her mission to expose those who contributed to her daughter’s spiralling mental health. She later addresses the camera directly, saying: “I think Caroline would be pleased with what I’m doing. I wish I’d done it then, before she took her own life – and that’s my biggest regret, that I wasn’t shouting like this, then.”
She continues: “But now, I’ve got nothing to lose. The worst thing in the world happened with losing Carrie.”
A synopsis for the upcoming Disney+ documentary states: “After her arrest in 2019, she became the target of a relentless media storm. Vilified in the press and online, her world spiralled – ending in tragedy when she took her own life.
“This powerful two-part Disney+ documentary follows Caroline’s mother, Christine, as she investigates the truth about her daughter’s final months – uncovering new shocking details, asking difficult questions, and exposing the misrepresentations, pressures, and failures from institutions and decision makers that shaped Caroline’s final days.”
