Anyone who watched the show can hear the difference in his voice. This man is crushed.

"I'm gonna miss you, Caz"

That broke my heart.😭💔
Rip Caroline Flack.

Guy loses his close friend
Mass amount of comments that he's being sarcastic
Strange world we live in

[BobaZeeb]

It’s horrible hearing Iain break down at the end. Just shows how actions make a difference. We won’t forget you Caz! 💖💗

Guys it's not Ian's fault that he has that accent some people may perceive it as if he's being sarcastic but he's obviously not and of course he's gonna be the one to say the tribute because he is the voice of love island so it only makes sense for that to happen . Also people who are judging Ian on how "sincere " or how real he was being in this tribute to his friend Caroline is what this whole thing is based on, people giving their unneeded rude opinions and bringing others down, we are already in a world full off hate we shouldn't be adding to it . We should be showing kindness to one another instead and trying to bring positivity to this world..( rest in peace Caroline✨) To whoever's reading this I hope you have a great day ❤️

He’s not being sarcastic you can hear him holding back his tears so idk why people saying he sounds sarcastic

[baders]

I can tell he is being sincere, it’s just difficult his voice naturally has a very insincere intonation.

Don’t agree with the people in the comments, saying he sounded like he was being sarcastic or that she deserved more of a tribute on this episode. I’m just gonna say what I think. Only being 2 days after her passing, I’m sure everyone is in shock still and I think that it would be too soon to show a full tribute, Iain as well as Laura have all been close friends and so in no way would he be being sarcastic. Yes, he’s a comedian and yes he’s Scottish, as am I, but why would he be sarcastic at a time like this? You can hear him choking up at the end. I like how they kept it short because like I said I feel as if it’s too early to say more, at least they payed their tributes.

When Iain said “I'm gonna miss you Caz!" (and even how he was going to cry) it felt down in my heart how much he loved her as dear friend.
I'm still trying to come in terms to how and why did this happen. I just hope that this would never repeat itself again.

[katenetic]

YO! He is not being sarcastic! He is naturally Scottish! Like me. So stop saying he is sarcastic! He and Caroline were great friends!

[Raas]

If you think he’s being sarcastic then listen to the end how can his voice be breaking up. Clearly he’s devastated and heart broken

[lukefelton]

Haven’t seen one sarcastic comment but loads complaining about people who say it was sarcastic ?

[kornnutteva]

"Try and be kinder always show love and listen to one another". RIP Caroline

Something about the sound of the waves, Ian’s breaking voice at the end, just brings home the true bleakness of what’s happened. It feels a bit like sitting in a lifeboat, staring in disbelief at a calm sea where a ship has just gone down. Very sad.

[i.hateyou.]

You can tell he means it, I mean just listen to his voice at the end.
RIP Caroline xx

I hope she heard him.... some where she did I know she did

With regards to people/the press blaming the CPS, no one should be above the law. Yes, Caroline's bf didn't want the case to continue, yes Caroline had mental health issues and yes, the incident might be perceived by many as a minor domestic dispute. However, the people who really know how minor or serious the incident in question was is the police, and they clearly had sufficient evidence to prove the incident was serious enough to warrant continued investigation. Also, the CPS has the right and the moral duty to proceed with a criminal investigation regardless of the wishes of the victim or the mental state of mind of the accussed, to protect the victim and anyone else from further incidents. I doubt very much that anyone who is appearing in court for a serious assault would be in a great mental state of mind, but proceedings must continue regardless. Many victims continue to support their abuser, the CPS knows this. They also know that a crime was committed. The fact that she was a woman, a celebrity, a person in a fragile state of mind shouldn't take significance over the law.

This wasn't a show trial. It was the law doing what the law does. Maintaining justice.

Just be kind, nobody knows what anyone is going through behind closed doors.
So please, just be kind x
R.I.P Caroline x
