Wes Nelson wrote on Instagram: "I can’t believe what I’m reading! Caroline Flack was an absolute diamond, my hearts genuinely broken! One of the warmest funniest people I’ve ever met, I have nothing but great memories! It was just weeks since we were chatting away! The Media is FUCKED! My tears, thoughts and prayers go out to her family at this extremely difficult time! I’m lost for words R.I.P ❤️".
Amy Hart wrote: "I take as I find and what I found was the kindest soul ✨ from putting us at ease on day one, to squeezing my hand when I didn’t know I needed it most, to reaching out to my best friend to help her navigate the dark side of social media, to inviting me to her dressing room for showtune karaoke, to giving me the pep talk of all pep talks at Aftersun, she kept me really calm at the reunion and kept reassuring me all evening. Caroline went above and beyond her job at all times, she didn’t HAVE to do any of that and she did. Absolutely gutted. 💔 Go and be the star you are".
Jack Fincham also paid tribute on Instagram, writing: "Truly in shock after hearing such devastating news, it was a pleasure knowing you Caroline my thoughts are with your family and loved ones. Xx"
