Mother of Love Island presenter, who took her own life in 2020, says Flack’s fame influenced decision
Police have been ordered to reinvestigate a complaint from Caroline Flack’s mother that her daughter’s fame had influenced the decision to charge her daughter with assault.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has instructed the Metropolitan police (MPS) to reinvestigate whether Flack was treated differently because of her fame when she was charged with assault rather than receiving a caution, which prosecutors had initially indicated would be the preferred course of action.
