Caroline Flack’s best pal urges fans to ‘look after their friends’ as she marks six months since the star’s tragic death
CAROLINE Flack's best friend Lou Teasdale has paid tribute to the star on the six-month anniversary of her tragic death.
The TV favourite took her own life at home in North London on February 15 of this year, aged just 40.
Heartbroken Lou, 36, had stayed with Caroline the previous night - leaving her home at 9.30am, with the Love Island presenter found dead just hours later.
Now the mother-of-one has taken to her Instagram page to remember her famous pal, urging her followers to "look after" their own friends.
She shared two photos to her Instagram page, with one showing the pair posing for a mirror selfie in a living room.
Caroline is looking at Lou's phone as the hairstylist takes the picture.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society - from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You're Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
Let's all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others... You're Not Alone.

The second snap saw the pair cosying up to each other as they chatted in a corner together, with smiles on both of their faces.
Lou captioned the post: ";Six months without you. I miss you. Look after your friends x";.
She was inundated with supportive comments from followers, with Laura Whitmore among the celebs to send their love to their grieving friend.
