She said: “Goodbye. Please forgive me. I love you – knowing that you hate me is enough.”

In a statement at her inquest, Jack said he had refused to talk to Charlotte about her affair.

He said: “She sent me a Snapchat message that was meant for her friend. She apologised and said she was a horrible person. She said that she wanted to talk and explain but I said that I didn’t feel like talking.” It was then that Charlotte, of Orrell, Wigan, sent her final messages to Jack.

Recording a narrative verdict at the inquest in Bolton, coroner Alan Walsh described Charlotte as “troubled”.
