Love Island fans were left in tears during last night's finale episode, as the show paid an emotional tribute to Caroline Flack.
Presenter Laura Whitmore, 34, became choked up as she spoke about her late friend who 'loved Love Island.'
The former host took her own life at the age of 40.
She was found dead in her home in east London on Saturday, February 15.
The islanders were told of Caroline's death yesterday by ITV bosses, who previously decided to keep it from them, reports Mirror Online.
Ahead of the tribute, Laura said: "The past week has been extremely difficult, coming to terms with the loss of our friend and colleague, Caroline. We're thinking of her family and everyone that knew her at this time.
"Caroline loved Love Island. She loved love and that's why tonight's final is dedicated to her."
Viewers were then shown a variety of clips from Caroline's time presenting the show which left fans in tears.
Former Love Island star Chris Hughes wrote: "Caroline missed every day. Great tribute. Very touching, sure she’s watching from up there #LoveIsland."
One viewer said: "Was not ready for that tribute to Caroline, absolutely bawling my eyes out. What a beautiful woman."
A third said: "Utmost respect for @thewhitmore delivering the tribute for Caroline.. probs the hardest thing in the world.. pretty emotional."
"Well done, you two. Sending you much love as I know it's been the most heartbreaking week for you. You did @carolineflack1 proud and the tribute section was so lovely. Still in shock and sending lots of love to all of Caroline's family and friends xxx," said another viewer.
