Speaking about Flack’s passing last week, ITV boss Dame Carolyn McCall said: ‘So many people at ITV knew Caroline, including me, and it was unbelievably tragic.
‘I think that we can never know what is behind suicide. It is not in any way simple. It is a very, very complex thing.
‘We take advice from (mental health charities) Samaritans and Mind and we will continue to do that.’
The popular TV host’s family also shared an Instagram post advisers had told her not to share online.
Part of it read: ‘I’m so sorry to my family for what I have brought upon them and for what my friends have had to go through.
‘I’m not thinking about ‘how I’m going to get my career back’. I’m thinking about how I’m going to get mine and my family’s life back.’
