ITV television director Kevin Lygo breaks his silence for the first time since the death of the former Love Island host.

"Caroline loved Love Island and was very vocal in her support of the show. Viewers could relate to her and she to them and that was a big part of the programme's success. We will all miss her very much."

She had been awaiting trial for allegedly assaulting her 27-year-old boyfriend Lewis Burton last year, despite him saying he did not support the prosecution. Ex-Hollyoaks actress Stephanie Davis told Sky News' KayBurley@Breakfast that her friend had been"destroyed" by negative press and social media posts, and had also been receiving death threats.

Damage limitation! Squirming till the end

The door was left open.Although i don't watch this program it should not be taken off air.

The door was left open to me by two jobs but when I was in the depressed suicidal state I was in last year I couldn’t think of anything worse than to even leave my bedroom, if only the people who comment negative stuff go through what I and many others have gone through.

I think the media should leave this alone now and let the poor lasses family grieve in peace.

It wouldn’t have been if it was a man on a domestic abuse charge, his career would have been over.

I am sure the door was left open but did she have a guaranteed presenting job for Love Island this summer? Was there an opportunity for her to host the current series of love island even if an investigation was on-going? Did she still feel welcome and part of the ITV family?

You’ve not stopped since 10 mins after you announced her death. Trying to call out social media & papers but YOU are as much to blame with your insidiously salacious reporting

Of course it was, I just didn’t see him come out and say that in public after all the publicity of her being removed. What a joker

Now they say it, leave the lady alone and let her friends and family grieve. It's the next bone the media have hold of. First was Brexit, then coronavirus, and now this 🤦🤦

No good pointing fingers now.

It is time ITV culled Love Isand. We do not need to hear this type of story again in a couple of months or years to come.

But she appears not to have been treated like Ant ...... or is it just me?

Have some respect

Stable Door horse bolted !

Well he would say that now wouldn’t he

Subject to the pending court case obviously, no prejudice or special favours. The same as lots of employers/ employees.

Door was left open if she was found not guilty but after the police body cam and the phone call from the 999 recording she was never going to be found not guilty and let’s not forget what the boyfriend said on that call, she’s trying to kill me, so why is he blaming the papers.

Leave the lass to rest in peace. Next it will be the funeral...photos...who was present...what they were wearing...who said what...then the inquest, and repeat! Enough. Enough. Enough. RIP x
