itv will tonight screen the first episode of love island since the death of its former presenter, carolined been pulled for two consecutive nights as a mark of respect. earlier i spoke to professor jonathan shalit — chairman of the talent agency intertalent and a friend of caroline's. my thoughts are shock. i want to be clear because i'm not here to pretend a relationship i didn't have, i was a work associate of caroline. i certainly wouldn't consider myself a close friend but i was certainly someone, or she was someone i used to run into regularly and had a warm relationship with. and i think like many people i was struck by her warmth, her charm, her smile and the fact that she was friendly to everyone. i mean, to me, and i say this very sadly, it was inevitable, and i don't mean inevitable to caroline necessarily but inevitable to people in the public eye. we saw an mp who was murdered a few years ago. because what has happened now is getting out of control. you just commented about the online petition requesting an inquiry into the media. we had that some years ago, the levenson enquir

the presenter of the itv reality show, love island, took her own life at her home in east london yesterdayre, who replaced caroline flack as love island host for the latest series, paid an emotional tribute to her friend at the start of her show on bbc radio 5live this morning. here's some of what she said. i wish we were talking under better circumstances. i've been debating whether i should, would or could come on air today. but this isn't about me. yesterday, we lost someone before their time. at age, a0 caroline flack made the decision to take her own life, and i want to talk about it. i'm going to talk about her and give her the respect that she deserves and that she didn't always get. i met herjust shy of ten years ago at v festival and then we became friends. she was bubbly and for such a small stature, commanded a room. she loved to laugh and had the most infectious chuckle. she also had many struggles. i am not going to pretend she was perfect, but as anyone. she lived every mistake publicly under the scrutiny of the media. caroline loved to love. that was all she wanted, which is

as the house knows, i was in self isolation last week, harry horton itv, alerted to me to the fact thatang 111, at the advice was if i had been in contact with the person who had coronavirus, i should self—isolate and if i did not have contact i wouldn't. but no agency could confirm or deny whether i had been in contact or not. some more work on tracking needs to be done. the situation where parents are self isolating while waiting on testing, should the children be going to school until we know the outcome of that test? because schools being what they are, there is downed to cause some degree of alarm in that school. shouldn't the children be kept away until such time as the all clear is given? i think it is best here that we follow the clinical advice, which is as i set out. one of the good things compared to other, similar illnesses, about this covid—19, coronavirus is that it seems much, much less impactful in terms of symptoms on children. that is good news, because for a flu is not only the other way around. so that observation outlines the clinical advice and we need to listen to
