The Metropolitan Police has been instructed by a watchdog to reinvestigate Caroline Flack's mother's complaint that her daughter was treated differently by police due to her fame.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police (MPS) told the BBC that the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) had instructed the MPS to reinvestigate the aspect of an old complaint.
The popular Love Island presenter took her own life at the age of 40 in February 2020.
A coroner ruled she took her own life after learning prosecutors were going to press ahead with an assault charge over an incident with boyfriend Lewis Burton.
Her mother, Christine Flack, told the BBC: "I just want those answers to make me feel better and to make me know that I've done the right thing by Caroline."
The MPS spokesperson said: "Following a review, the IOPC agreed with the MPS that service was acceptable in relation to seven areas of the complaints relating to the response and handling of the incident by the MPS.
"The IOPC has directed the MPS to reinvestigate one element of the complaints. This relates to the process involved in appealing the CPS decision to caution Ms Flack.
"We will re-examine this element of the investigative process. Our thoughts and sympathies remain with Caroline's family."
Caroline's devastated mum remains 'sad and very angry' at the police treatment of her daughter in the weeks before her death.
Tuesday will mark the second anniversary of the death of the Love Island and X Factor host after she was tragically found dead at her home in London.
A coroner later ruled the TV star had taken her life because she knew she was facing prosecution and feared the publicity the trial would attract.
Christine first complained to the Met one month after Caroline's death.
She asked the force to investigate its duty of care towards her daughter and the procedures it followed when it arrested and subsequently charged her.
Speaking to BBC News, Caroline's mum said she feels the decision to charge her daughter contributed to her death.
"She couldn't see a way out," Christine told.
She said she had now lost trust in the force:
"There's no trust at all. No trust at all."
"I just want the truth out there," she added. "And it won't bring her back. I know it won't bring it back. But I've got to do it for her."
