We've cried with you.

But most of all, we've fallen in love.

Caroline Flack was synonymous with TV's hit reality show Love Island as its host for five Siri's.

She became one of the most popular personalities on TV, but the 40 year old was today found dead at her home in East London.

Her family's lawyer has confirmed that she took her own life.

In a statement, they said, We can confirm that our Caroline passed away today, the 15th of February.

We would ask that the press respect the privacy of the family at this difficult time.

Caroline Flack co hosted The X Factor, Andi Wanna Siri's of Strictly Come Dancing before becoming Love Islands presenter in 2015.

She stepped down from that role at the end of last year after she was charged with assaulting her partner.

She appeared in court in December to enter a not guilty plea.

Her boyfriend, tennis player and model Louis Burton, had said he wanted the case against her to be dropped, but it wasn't and her trial was due to go ahead next month.

Tonight, Caroline Flax management team criticized prosecutors for what they described as a show trial.

As part of her bail conditions, Caroline Flack was told not to contact her boyfriend.

She posted a message on Instagram just before Christmas, saying, This kind of scrutiny and speculation is a lot to take on for one person to take on their own.

Tonight there was an outpouring of emotion on social media.

Has people reacted to news of her death?

Fellow I TV presenters Ant and DEC said on Twitter.

It is beyond sad beyond words so tragic.
