Caroline Flack's mum said she was left devastated by texts found on Lewis Burton's phone just weeks before her daughter's tragic death.
The much-loved Love Island presenter tragically died, aged 40, in 2020 after learning that her criminal trial for assaulting then boyfriend, Lewis, 32, was going ahead, after initially being told she would only be given a caution.
Following a late-night explosive row between the couple in 2019, after Caroline was said to have found messages from another woman on Lewis' phone, the star was charged with assaulting the model before a downward mental spiral lead to her heartbreaking suicide on February 15, 2020.
It has now been revealed that Caroline's mum has long questioned whether the texts Caroline reportedly found on Lewis's phone could have been from Lottie Tomlinson, the younger sister of One Direction star, Louis Tomlinson. Influencer Lottie, 26, is now engaged to Lewis, and shares son, Lucky, with the Tennis star - and is about to give birth to his daughter.
Lewis and Lottie got together just six months after Caroline's tragic death following a party marking three months since the presenter had died. However, insisting the text messages Caroline is said to have found on Lewis's phone shortly before her death were not from her client, Lottie's agent told the Mail: "It is not true at all, they hadn't even met before at the time of the incident. Hope this clears that rumour up."
After Lottie posted a family photo with Lewis and Lucky on Instagram, telling fans it was their "last time as a three" as they await the birth of their daughter, one of Caroline's friends told the outlet: "It must be devastating for Christine, she has lost her daughter and now Lewis has become some kind of influencer with his girlfriend, living in apparent bliss and about to become a father for the second time."

The show, which will be released in the coming months, will see Christine try to discover the truth about her daughter's final hours and also whether her tragic death could have been avoided.
In a statement yesterday, she said: "I still have so many questions about what happened to Caroline in her final months, and it's something I feel deeply compelled to explore, even though I know it will be challenging. I'm pleased to be working with the team at Curious Films once again, in the hope of bringing clarity and understanding to Carrie's story – not just for her, but for everyone who cared about her."
