The family of the late Love Island presenter Caroline Flack has released previously unseen photos of her as a teenager, ahead of a new documentary about her life and death.

The forthcoming Channel 4 documentary promises to “delve beyond the headlines to reveal the complex woman behind the public persona”.

It will feature never-before-seen footage and childhood home videos, as well as interviews with her twin sister, Jody.

Flack took her own life at the age of 40, on February 15 2020.
