Tributes are being paid to TV presenter Caroline Flack who has died at the age of 40.

She was found dead at her flat in London yesterday after taking her own life.

Her boyfriend Lewis Burton posted a statement on Instagram, promising to be her "voice" and "ask all the questions".

He posted a picture of the couple and 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."

Flack was due to stand trial in March for allegedly assaulting Burton last year, despite him saying he did not support the prosecution.

Her management team have criticised prosecutors for pressing ahead with what they called her "show trial".

The TV star stepped down from presenting the current series of Love Island in December.

Laura Whitmore, who replaced Flack on the show, said: "I'm trying to find the words but I can't."

The writer Dawn O'Porter posted a string of messages on Twitter, one which said: "At some point I will find my words, and I will write the tribute she deserves. My dear friend. I'm lost."

Ant and Dec also paid tribute to Flack, saying her death is "so tragic" and "beyond words".

The X Factor, on which Flack worked, said she was a "much loved member of family" and it was "absolutely devastated by this tragic news".

Former Girls Aloud star Cheryl posted a tribute on Instagram, saying that her death was "just so utterly gut wrenchingly tragic".

Anyone who is feeling distressed can call Samaritans on 116 123.
