Lewis Burton celebrates his birthday five weeks after Caroline Flack’s death – OK! magazine

Lewis Burton has celebrated his birthday just five weeks after the tragic death of his girlfriend Caroline Flack.

The 28 year old marked the day in self isolation on Monday due to the current coronavirus crisis, but shared messages he had received from friends.

His birthday fell just five weeks after 40 year old Caroline was found dead at her London home and two weeks after her private funeral.

A number of friends posted tributes to the professional tennis player, sharing images of themselves with him.

He reposted the messages of well wishes to his 226,000 Instagram followers, with one reading: “We love you LB, see you soon, happy birthday.”

A second friend wrote: “Happy birthday Lewis Burton, love you bro,” as Ed Sheeran’s Photograph plays over the top of the video.

The Only Way Is Essex star Vas J Morgan also shared a message, writing: “Happy birthday beauty lots of love.”

Another friend wrote: “Happy birthday legend” as another shared clips of him on a previous night out.

Last week, Lewis shared a touching tribute to former Love Island host Caroline as he marked one month since her passing.

Sharing an image of the pair laughing with one another on holiday, he wrote: “It’s already been a month I love and miss you so much, I never thought that one day I will never be able to see or speak to you again.

“I wake up and think you’re going to be laying next to me or you’re going to call me in a minute.

“It just doesn’t seem real. I wish I could give you a kiss and a cuddle and say everything is going to be ok.”

He finished the emotional post: “I am so grateful I met you I just want to make you proud.”

At the time of Caroline’s death, Lewis took to Instagram to pay tribute.

He wrote: “My heart is broken we had something so special. I am so lost for words I am in so much pain I miss you so much I know you felt safe with me you always said I don’t think about anything else when I am with you and I was not allowed to be there this time I kept asking and asking.

“I will be your voice baby I promise I will ask all the questions you wanted and I will get all the answers nothing will bring you back but I will try make you proud everyday. I love you with all my heart.”
