Laura Whitmore Instagram – I got a new phone this month and as I was trying to download WhatsApp messages from my cloud loads of old messages came up. Ones I thought I lost a few years ago and no longer had. It really hit me hard.
Looking at messages I’ve never publicly shared as they were private messages. Media outlets wrote a lot far from the actual truth.
I think they show a side to Caroline which is nice to remember. Hence I’m sharing now.
She wasn’t perfect and I didn’t know her as well as others but I knew she had her demons. I met Caroline in 2011 when I took over from her hosting I’m a celebrity get me out of here now. She was as supportive of me doing that role back then as she was when she supported me doing Love Island in 2020. Both were great shows with hundreds of people working on them and relying on the show going ahead. I will always be so thankful of the last messages between me and Caroline. I never asked her about the court case – it wasn’t my business. I didn’t know her partner at the time and still don’t. Every time I’ve been asked to speak about the situation or be part of a documentary I decline. I’ve already said all I can say on the tragedy and don’t want words to be misconstrued and need to look after my own mental health. This was the last correspondence I ever had with her. I really did hope she was somewhere lovely. A spa/ retreat/ rehab. I never knew the extent of her struggles or what was to come. The last message from her to me were love hearts. I’d like to think wherever she is now, she’s at peace and somewhere lovely like I hoped. I’m sad when I see the press and social media be so divisive and that we still haven’t learned from Caroline’s treatment before her death when it comes to women in the spotlight.
Today I choose to remember these messages and thank the cloud for giving them back to me ❤️ | Posted on 15/Feb/2025 14:11:22
