Danny Cipriani reflects on the ‘gift’ ex Caroline Flack left behind: ‘I hadn’t really cried before’ The retired rugby player dated the former ‘Love Island’ presenter until May 2019.
Cipriani, a retired rugby player, dated Flack until May 2019, and he said they were in regular contact and that he heard from her the day before she died by suicide on 15 February 2020 aged 40.
Danny Cipriani has revealed that the late TV presenter Caroline Flack gave him “the gift” of fully expressing his emotions and feelings.
Reflecting on the grief he experienced in the wake of Flack’s death, Cipriani said he was “devastated” and confided in his Gloucester rugby club teammates.
The club used a premiership match against Sale Sharks to raise awareness of mental health issues, in response to the abuse that Cipriani received on social media following Flack’s death.
