Lou Teasdale touched up her difficult relationship with Caroline Flack’s mum, Christine, as she opened up about her best friend’s suicide.
The Love Island host died by suicide on February 15 2020 aged 40, and Lou has sat down for an in-depth interview discussing the heartbreaking situation.
Following Caroline’s tragic death, her mum Christine has questioned why her pals Lou and Mollie Grosberg left her alone in her flat on the night she took her own life. The celebrity hair stylist, who is mum to daughter Lux, was the last person to see the TV presenter alive.
During a candid conversation with Paul C Brunson on his podcast, she was asked whether the rumours of Christine and her falling out were true.

Lou said: “So, my sister and I are really close with with Jody, her twin sister. I actually saw her at Glastonbury and hopefully we’ll stay in touch forever. Obviously, we were together on that day and she knows who we are and where we are.
“And I think what’s really hard with with parents, it does cause conflict because it’s the worst case scenario for anybody for that to happen to your child and all you’re going to do is think whose fault is it, which I understand.”
She added on the We Need To Talk podcast: “A lot of fingers get pointed at partners – that’s happened a few times that I’ve known about as well. For me, where I sat in the Caroline situation was I know what happened, I was there, I know what I’m comfortable with.
“I personally just don’t blame anybody and I panic about blame because it creates again another vulnerable person who has to take that on their shoulders and the trauma of that for the rest of their lives – especially publicly.

“Without going into anything private, I’ve basically tried my best to stay away from any conversations about who was in the wrong or whatever and I think that in this situation, people come together and do that as a way of trying to fight it and deal with it as part of the grief process. But I had a relationship with everybody in that situation which became impossible really.”
During the conversation, she was asked if she has been able to “properly grieve” Caroline, and Lou admitted: “No because I think suicide is a really hard death for people to grieve because it is filled with so many emotions.”
Recalling her final moments with the TV star, Lou shared: “The night before, she had attempted. So, the paramedics had sort of given a big talk to get her through the night.
“I always felt that I needed to get her through the night then I would go home to my daughter and she’d be alright in the day. I was never that worried in the daytime. I was too panicky in the night to leave her.”
