The attacks were coming in from all sides.

At the time, the ITV host said: “As Caroline Flack steps down from Love Island, we find out who is set to replace her. Yeah, that’s showbiz!”

Commenting on the clip, Christine admits: “Just to laugh in the worst time in Carrie’s life and say ‘that’s showbusiness’. Well, it shouldn’t be showbusiness. It should not be showbusiness.

“She started to feel like she was losing a grip on her life. The attacks were coming in from all sides.”
