Caroline Flack's mother is resolute in discovering 'the truth' of her daughter's arrest after something 'very unusual happened' to her at the police station

The former 'Love Island' presenter was found dead at her London home in February 2020 at the age of 40 having taken her own life after she was charged with assaulting her then-boyfriend Lewis Burton.

Now, Caroline's mother Christine has insisted she will work non-stop to see justice for her daughter after the Met Police successfully appealed her case, which found her guilty of assault.

She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We won’t stop until we get the truth."

After the initial ruling that gave Caroline a caution, it was said that an officer who was present at her arrest in 2019 did not give evidence for initial reviews into police conduct when he left the force.

The Met apologised to the Flack family last year after admitted officers did not record why they had appealed against the CPS's decision not to charge Caroline for allegedly assaulting Lewis.

Now, Christine thinks something "very unusual" happened to her daughter on the night of her arrest.

She explained: "Something very unusual happened to Carrie at the police station that night, but no one kept a proper record explaining why.

"I have now made a complaint to compel the officer to give the ­statement we think he should have given four years ago. As a family, we have been left with important ­unanswered questions."

Christine then revealed she has been begging Met Commissioner Mark Rowley for a meeting about the issue, though has not been successful yet.

She said: "He has refused to speak to me. Now it’s time the Met gave us full disclosure."

As Christine continues to seek the truth into what happened to 'The X Factor' presenter at the police station, a spokesperson for the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) told the BBC it has urged the Met to re-open their investigation into Caroline's case, which it has since agreed to.

They told the publisher: "On the basis there may be new witness evidence available, we returned one aspect of the complaint back to the Met to investigate."
