Co-stars, colleagues and celebrity friends have paid tribute to Love Island star Caroline Flack.
The death of the 40-year-old TV star was confirmed by her family on Saturday night.
An outpouring of grief on social media has followed, with heartfelt messages of sorrow flooding Instagram and Twitter.
Among those to express their sadness have been contestants on the show Ms Flack was best-known for presenting, ITV2's hugely popular Love Island.
Firefighter and bio-medical science graduate Michael Griffiths, from Merseyside, wrote: "I can't actually believe it, this has knocked me sick... people need to understand the power of social media and the comments they make really resonate with people."
Arabella Chi, a co-star with Mr Griffiths on the 2019 series of Love Island, said: "Absolutely devastated, I can't get over what I am reading, such an awful loss. You don't know what goes on behind closed doors. This world is so cruel. My thoughts go out to her friends and family."
Gabby Allen, a former contestant from Allerton, simply posted a broken heart emoji on her Instagram account, before adding: "This is beyond tragic and utterly heartbreaking. Sleep tight Caroline, you will be missed."
Former winner Jack Fincham wrote: "Truly in shock after hearing such devastating news, it was a pleasure knowing you Caroline. My thoughts are with your family and loved ones."
In a statement released on their behalf on Saturday night, Ms Flack's family said: "We can confirm that our Caroline passed away today on February 15. We would ask that the press both respect the privacy of the family at this difficult time."
She is believed to have been found at her London home.
Ms Flack's television career began back in 2001 when she appeared in the TV movie 'Is Harry on the Boat?'
But she shot to prominence with presenting roles, working on shows including Fame Academy, I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and its spin-off, Britain's Got More Talent and The X Factor.
And it was Love Island that brought her the most fame.
She hosted the hit ITV2 dating show and its spin-off Aftersun from 2015 until her decision to step down in 2019 following an allegation that she had assaulted boyfriend Lewis Burton.
She was charged with assault by beating of the 27-year-old, an accusation she had denied when she appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court just before Christmas.
Mr Burton had previously spoken out in support of Ms Flack, claiming she has become the subject of a "witch hunt" following her arrest at her flat in Islington on December 12.
She was due to stand trial in March.
Following confirmation of her death, ITV said: “Everybody at Love Island and ITV is shocked and saddened by this desperately sad news. Caroline was a much loved member of the Love Island team and our sincere thoughts and condolences are with her family and friends.”
Presenter Dan Walker was one of many who, in paying tribute, highlighted concerns about her treatment in the aftermath of the allegation coming to light.
He took to Twitter on Saturday tonight to write: "It must be heartbreaking for the family & friends of Caroline Flack to read tributes from some of those who hounded her.
"Our ‘cancel’ culture is brutal.
"We all have demons and flaws but we dehumanise each other and are then surprised when it all becomes too much for some."
Jonathan Ross added: "I am very sad to hear that Caroline Flack is dead. I had been in touch with her recently and had hoped she was doing better. She was talented and smart and likeable and she will be missed. It’s awful."
Comedian Jack Whitehall said: "Utterly devastating about Caroline Flack. She was a fun, kind beautiful person, always loved seeing her. So unfair that this has happened. Let’s pray we learn from this and remember to be a little bit more compassionate to people when they are down."
And Wirral star Samantha Quek, who was part of Team GB's Olympic gold medal winning hockey team, wrote: "The saddest thing in all this is that Caroline will never see the outpouring of love for her. If only she knew yesterday.
"Love now...Banish hate... Don’t judge others how you wouldn’t want to be judged yourselves.
"So, so sad. #CarolineFlack"
