Guys it's not Ian's fault that he has that accent some people may perceive it as if he's being sarcastic but he's obviously not and of course he's gonna be the one to say the tribute because he is the voice of love island so it only makes sense for that to happen . Also people who are judging Ian on how "sincere " or how real he was being in this tribute to his friend Caroline is what this whole thing is based on ,people giving their unneeded rude opinions and bringing others down ,we are already in a world full off hate we shouldn't be adding to it . We should be showing kindness to one another instead and trying to bring positivity to this world..( rest in peace Caroline✨) To whoever's reading this I hope you have a great day ❤️

[@leahrobertson4341]

Don’t agree with the people in the comments, saying he sounded like he was being sarcastic or that she deserved more of a tribute on this episode. I’m just gonna say what I think. Only being 2 days after her passing, I’m sure everyone is in shock still and I think that it would be too soon to show a full tribute, Iain as well as Laura have all been close friends and so in no way would he be being sarcastic. Yes, he’s a comedian and yes he’s Scottish, as am I, but why would he be sarcastic at a time like this? You can hear him choking up at the end. I like how they kept it short because like I said I feel as if it’s too early to say more, at least they payed their tributes.

[@BlackRose-vi2yg]

So you wrote all that to explain why he sounded like he did!! You for serious??

[@leahrobertson4341]

Black Rose I don’t understand. I wrote that because I was annoyed at the comments towards Iain saying how sarcastic he sounded. I just didn’t understand why people would even suggest that. So yes, I wrote all that to explain why he sounded like that

[@SDBandit]

I thought he sounded so robotic in a sense, kinda like a child reading aloud in a way, I didn't realise till the end when you can hear how upset he is that probably the he did just read what he had wrote down because of how emotional it is.

[@SDBandit]

@@JK-ux9du you are just a troll and are being intentionally insensitive, but for anyone that does read this, the fact that she felt pushed to ending her life is tragic but it doesn't change the fact she abused her partner.

[@Solo-vh9fm]

Katenetic that’s just his radio voice, he doesn’t speak like that on the tv and he dropped his radio voice after about 18 seconds, he clearly couldn’t control his tone, especially towards the end.

[@Raas987]

[@michaelacioffi1291]

When Iain said “I'm gonna miss you Caz!" (and even how he was going to cry) it felt down in my heart how much he loved her as dear friend. I'm still trying to come in terms to how and why did this happen. I just hope that this would never repeat itself again.

[@davidhyatt7772]

But she was a feminist! Violently battering males is empowering and helps the fight against the patriarchy. The sooner they canonise poor Caroline the better!

[@grahamjackmacpherson6501]

With regards to people/the press blaming the CPS, no one should be above the law. Yes, Caroline's bf didn't want the case to continue, yes Caroline had mental health issues and yes, the incident might be perceived by many as a minor domestic dispute. However, the people who really know how minor or serious the incident in question was is the police, and they clearly had sufficient evidence to prove the incident was serious enough to warrant continued investigation. Also, the CPS has the right and the moral duty to proceed with a criminal investigation regardless of the wishes of the victim or the mental state of mind of the accussed, to protect the victim and anyone else from further incidents. I doubt very much that anyone who is appearing in court for a serious assault would be in a great mental state of mind, but proceedings must continue regardless. Many victims continue to support their abuser, the CPS knows this. They also know that a crime was committed. The fact that she was a woman, a celebrity, a person in a fragile state of mind shouldn't take significance over the law. This wasn't a show trial. It was the law doing what the law does. Maintaining justice.

[@katjafrandsen1687]

She hadn't been convicted yet, in the eyes of the law she would have been innocent until the verdict had been said. The absolute slaughter of her character from the moment the case was wrongfully leaked to the press is an absolute mockery of the judicial system this country is founded upon. She might have been convicted, she might not have been, as you said: the real facts are only known by those who had access to court files.

[@kezzarr7360]

Katja Frandsen I agree with this fully, she said in a now published by her family post that she knew what she did wrong but that whoever brought the situation to light twisted the story and therefore made her look completely insane, I don’t agree with what she did. But I don’t agree with how the situation was handled. Poor girl had it out for her the minute the incident was reported

[@tjfSIM]

Something about the sound of the waves, Ian’s breaking voice at the end, just brings home the true bleakness of what’s happened. It feels a bit like sitting in a lifeboat, staring in disbelief at a calm sea where a ship has just gone down. Very sad.

[@Solo-vh9fm]

If people listened for more than 10 seconds he actually loses his “sarcasm” (which just happens to be his radio voice), talks in a more normal voice because sounding like he’s crying towards the end.

[@davidhyatt7772]

No wonder this saintly lady is becoming a feminist icon and figurehead for abused woman everywhere!

[@mrn8645]

This is a quote from Refuge, they don't take the 'mental health' of a perpetrator as an excuse. The same should apply to female perpetrators: ''The vast majority of men who abuse women are not mentally ill. Research shows that the proportion of abusers with mental health problems is no higher than in society as a whole. If an abusive man were mentally ill, why is it that he only abuses his partner - not his colleagues, strangers or friends? This is another way of making excuses for the abuser’s behaviour.''

[@davidhyatt7772]

The track record of Refuge is abysmal. They get countless millions in aid but refuse to even acknowledge male victims. They despise male victims as pathetic wimps. But if a male dares to retaliate then he automatically becomes an "abuser"

[@mrn8645]

@@davidhyatt7772 - Exactly! Their silence over Caroline Flack shows just what hypocrites they are. They would be up in arms if a male abuser's mental health was the media's focus.

[@queuing_jupiter535]

Trolling is what played a part in her death. It makes me sad to see some people on here are still leaving those types of comments especially on a tribute video. When you was little didn't your mum say "if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all" You can have your opinions in your own house in private with your friends and family but I do not think it is appropriate on a tribute to someone's death! Edit - yes ANY domestic violence is wrong , she didn't have her day in court to be judged because she is gone. You can state the facts of the situation but you don't need to comment horrid words along side it.I'm not telling anyone to shut up I'm telling people to be mindful about what they are saying as she is DEAD. You can't hurt her anymore now as she was tipped over the edge. Have your opinions but it's up to you if you want to make your self look bad. I could say things about Caroline that I did not like but it's not the time or place to do that.

[@grahamjackmacpherson6501]

Firstly I'd like to give my deepest condolences to Caroline's family, friends and fans. My thoughts are with you all. I can't help but relate to Caroline's story. Most my life I've battled with mental health issues. I am 40 years old. Things came to a head on New year's Eve when my partner of 10 years and I had a domestic dispute in which I verbally and physically assaulted her. The police were called and I was arrested and taken to the station where I remained in a cell for 3 days until the court reopened on the 3rd January. Those 3 days were possibly the worst of my life, but possibly also the best as I had complete solitude to really evaluate my life, my actions and my mental health problems. It was a complete wake up call to get the help I needed and which I am now receiving. I pleaded guilty and owned up to my actions. I knew I had done wrong and I owed it to my partner and myself to tell the truth. For the next month I was allowed no contact with my partner while I stayed at my parents house and awaited my sentencing court date. I was given a 6 month deferred sentence and was told if I had no further incidents in the next 6 months, the sentence would be favourable. Since then I've been refered to and seen a psychiatrist at my local hospital, I've been put on appropriate medication, I'm awaiting a proper diagnosis and a referral for talking therapy and I've slowly but positively integrated back into my partners life, who has chosen to support me throughout all of this and welcome me back into our home provided I continue to receive help and show signs of improvement in my temperament and attitude, of which I feel there has been significant improvement. Some people have chosen to cancel me out. They see black and white, right and wrong, and in their eyes I did wrong. I think alot of people in life would feel the same. As Joaquin Phoenix stated in his Oscar speech, we live in a culture where so often we cancel others out for their mistakes. Fortunately for me, my mum, my dad and my partner of 10 years have supported and encouraged me throughout this difficult period. My partner in particular could have done what so many would do or be urged to do, and I couldn't blame her if she did. Actions have consequences. She has however made it clear that she loves me. She understands the complexity of mental health. She rightly also knows that if anything like this were to happen again I'd be on my own. But I don't feel it will happen again. I feel like I've seen the other side and it's not somewhere I want to be again. Mental health has thankfully received alot more focus in recent years and so it should. We can't outrun our own minds but what we can do is what so many people have been asking for, change. Changes in social media laws, changes in print media laws, and most importantly, changes in how we all collectively treat each other. It's a tough life. Too tough for some. We need to offer our hands of support to one another everyday instead of using our feelings to express words of hate, anger and judgement. RIP Caroline. X

[@emperater]

@@leebeef No doubt her death is extremely sad and tragic but the prosecution was going ahead for a reason and would have been dropped if the evidence wasn't compelling enough. My point is she's been afforded the benefit of the doubt that many other types of people in society wouldn't be afforded. If she wasn't a beautiful young well off white female I don't think the conversation would be the same that's all I'm saying.

[@methylene5]

@@leebeef Yeah, because she was manipulative. Her boyfriend was the one who called the police! She smashed a lamp over his head when he was asleep, blood everywhere. She was TERRIFIED of the police bocy cam footage being presented as evidence at the pending trial. Abusive partners are often very manipulative, but they can't manipulate the police. It was campaigning by women's groups that made it law that even if the victim doesn't want further action, the police will pursue it if they believe they can achieve a successful prosecution. One rule for the male abusers, and I see its another for female abusers, so it seems.

She's gained such a huge following throughout her career, which has sadly been cut horrifically short. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, there's no need to comment something like this. No one cares about anything negative you have to say. Ever head of the saying "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all"? - and also. No deserves this kind of nationwide hatred over something that's nothing to do with anyone else. Regardless of celebrity status or not. What's happened to humanity?

I'm not defending Caroline's alleged actions or violence in general, I'm just saying that to call those ppl terrible is a judgement too far. Murderers, rapists and paedophiles and persistent abusers are terrible people. Someone who makes one bad mistake isn't.

The people who loved Caroline should be allowed to mourn her. That doesn't mean she's innocent.

@@ashleyfairway.540 I agree that there's a double standard. But I'm not trying to excuse Caroline's behavior, I'm saying that people should be allowed to be upset about her death. And Caroline had family and friends who loved her, not just fans.

@@methylene5But two wrongs don't make a right. If this same situation had happened to a man I would've wanted his loved ones to be able to grieve as well. I am not going to treat Caroline worse to somehow even out a double standard. The situation is horrible for the people that Caroline abused as well as for Caroline and the people who loved her.

To everyone that is saying he is sarcastic then you obviously don’t care that she took her own life as if it was you taking your own life and a deer friend was saying that about you you wouldn’t say oh you are so sarcastic. It is horrible as they worked together for years and she has passed away so why say he is being sarcastic. Also it is because of his accent and if you think he is sarcastic then don’t say anything and just keep it to your self thank you.

He certainly wasn't sarcastic, poor bloke voice broke at the end. It was beautiful & I shared this on Facebook. This is still raw for everyone, I am upset by this tragic news, so goodness knows how Caroline's colleagues, friends & family must be feeling. I feel by watching the tributes from Love Island, that they are gutted. If anyone is reading this & has been effected by this tragedy, not everyone is negative . I just want to take this time to show my respect to Caroline's family, friends & everyone that had the pleasure of knowing her.

Genuinely curious, if it was a male abuser who killed himself a few weeks away from his trial, would he be getting this much sympathy... if any? Or would he be seen as taking the easy way out?

david hyatt *sigh*. Show me the evidence of her last boyfriends abuse. Because from what I saw, he was in tears saying that she had supported him and made him feel safe. As for her death becoming a platform for feminists, on the contrary, I think it’s revealing more than just a few misogynists. AND, I never watched love island or any of the programmes she presented that I can think of. I’ve expressed my sympathy and sadness at the desperation and subsequent death of a fellow human being. Now get off my post the pair of you and go and muddy someone else’s comments. I have a right to express my opinion in peace.

[@davidhyatt7772]

@@brianatonicarys1) no because when you make controversial comments in the public domain you should expect to be held accountable for your claims...we have every right to hold you to account in the same way that the CPS had the right to hold Saint Caroline to account 2) yes it's easy to fling around the magic word "misogyny" as if that automatically invalidates the opinions of people you disagree with...I could equally toss the word "misandrist" at you couldn't I 3) are you even aware that in 2018 her previous boyfriend dumped her claiming that if he had stayed with her then she would have ended up literally killing him. This is a matter of public record. 4) Do you "identify as a male"? If so then I hope you one day have the misfortune to end up with a bullying violent abusive partner. Are you female? In that case may I remind you that according to most authoritative studies of domestic abuse women are just as bad as men. In other words "men and women are equal" - fancy that! Whoever would have imagined such a thing!

[@davidhyatt7772]

Would you ever express any empathy for a male accused of abuse who had taken their own life, let alone expressed "love". Certainly not! As a feminist your tolerance of psychopathic behaviour extends willingly to females only. As you may be aware feminists like you are actively trying to criminalise people like me who express humanist viewpoints. The opposite of "feminism" is humanism by the way. It is certainly NOT misogyny, a word that has been rendered meaningless by decades of ruthless "feminist" abuse of both language and society

There are people who commit suicide every day for far more important reasons than fame. People don't bat an eyelid that it's a problem and nothing is done about these REAL issues. Blaming social media is pathetic. Anyone who cares about what's said there, by people they don't know need a reality check. Just cancel the trash that is Love Island. This is now the 3rd death associated with it. One death thinly related to The Jeremy Kyle Show got that cancelled, but of course it wasn't bringing in the ratings that Love Island did. Shame on ITV!
