by

The mother of television star Caroline Flack has accused a senior police officer of prosecuting her daughter because of her celebrity status.

Chris Flack said her daughter killed herself as a consequence of Detective Inspector Lauren Bateman’s personal decision to appeal against the plan to hand the former Love Island host a caution for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend, Lewis Burton.

She also accused the Crown Prosecution Service and police of “having it in for” her daughter.
