After Phillip Schofield resigned from ITV, Caroline Flack’s mother alleged the broadcaster treated its talent as ‘commodities’.
, saying it had “learned nothing” from her daughter’s death and that on-screen talent were treated as “commodities”.
“The family are obviously grieving. I would say we never feel that we treat anybody, whether it’s a presenter or a member of staff or a junior person that’s coming in for work experience, we would really not treat anyone like a commodity.”Former Love Island host Flack was found dead in February 2020 at the age of 40, and a coroner later ruled she killed herself after learning that prosecutors were going to press ahead with an assault charge after an incident involving her boyfriend Lewis Burton.
