Caroline Flack's boyfriend Lewis Burton has opened up for the first time since news of her death broke.
Posting a photograph of the pair together on Instagram this morning, Lewis Burton said he is 'in so much pain' after it was announced that the television presenter had taken her own life.
He wrote: "My heart is broken we had something so special.
"I am so lost for words I am in so much pain I miss you so much I know you felt safe with me you always said.
"I don't think about anything else when I am with you and I was not allowed to be there this time I kept asking and asking.
"I will be your voice baby I promise I will ask all the questions you wanted and I will get all the answers nothing will bring you back but I will try make you proud everyday.
"I love you with all my heart."
This comes after Ms Flack's family confirmed that the 40-year-old had tragically died yesterday.
The statement, published on The Sun, read: "We can confirm that our Caroline passed away today on the 15th February.
"We would ask that the press both respect the privacy of the family at this difficult time."
A lawyer for the Ms Flack's family confirmed that she was found in her flat after having taken her own life.
