Danny said: “I am just asking we are kind and if you have vulnerable moments, and you have people you care about, share it with them.”

Danny admitted to sending Caroline messages since her death that “she is not going to read”, adding: “I can see clearly now and I hate the fact it has taken someone so kind and so beautiful and had just as many faults as me and you... But never malicious. She was kind, she was loving.” Caroline ended her life ahead of a trial for an alleged attack on boyfriend Lewis Burton, 27. The fallout over the case had led to her quitting her beloved presenting role on ITV hit Love Island. As Danny spoke out to honour her yesterday, he became the latest in a growing throng of voices praising Caroline and calling for greater kindness in society. Yesterday, her friend Simon Carroll described spending Valentine’s Day with her, chatting as they walked around Stoke Newington Cemetery, a peaceful place that Caroline loved.

Simon warned against a blame game over her death and spoke of how he and other friends are concentrating on spreading “joy and love, because we are her people”. He said: “Keep sharing her joy and let us all hear HER voice.”

Reading Caroline’s 2015 autobiography, Storm In A C Cup, it appears her caring nature was there from the start.

She wrote of how she and twin Jody used to visit a farm near their Norfolk home as kids. And tellingly, the animals Caroline made a beeline for every time were blind pigs kept in a pen away from the rest, because she felt sorry for them.

She said: “We’d get in with them and stroke their ears and generally give them as much love and affection as we could.”

And when a baby blackbird fell from its nest in her garden, she cared for it, although it only survived a week. She was desperate for pets, a living thing she could care for. The wish to comfort and protect others, especially those more vulnerable, seems to have been instinctive.

Caroline described herself as the “wild child”, less organised and more emotional than Jody. But that emotion came hand in hand with a big heart.

In tributes since her death, the word kindness appears again and again.

Repeatedly, so many of her friends, like Danny, have spoken of the care Caroline, who was open about her own emotional turmoil over the years, showed – even when she was suffering.

Pop star Louise Redknapp, 45, called Caroline the “kindest” friend she had in showbiz. She posted: “Caroline, when things were tough and you were going through equally such a tough time you reached out to me. It takes a certain soul to be able to reach out to someone who they don’t really know that well and speak from the heart but you did.”
