‘She’s lost two very special people who lived with us in the space of 12 months and I wanna make sure I’m saying the right thing – if there’s such a thing.’
Lux, who is the daughter of Miss Teasdale and her former fiancé Tom Atkin, has her own Instagram page billing the girl as ‘the youngest fan of One Direction’.
Miss Teasdale had been staying with Miss Flack on Valentine’s Day after the star was left terrified when she learnt prosecutors were not going to drop her assault case.
The 36-year-old stylist had popped out to the shops and Miss Flack took her own life within minutes of her friend leaving the flat in Stoke Newington, East London.
Caroline Flack’s friend Lou Teasdale posted a photograph on Instagram on Sunday of her with Miss Flack in the TV star’s flat in Stoke Newington, East London, saying: ‘Here’s us like five days ago really happy, lolling, telling each other we’re really fit and funny… I love you’

Miss Teasdale had volunteered to be at her side after family and friends grew increasingly concerned about the welfare of the former Love Island presenter.
A source last night said Miss Teasdale had been ‘brilliant’ with her and that Miss Flack had convinced her friend to go home.
The presenter is said to have persuaded her friend that she was fine after London Ambulance Service paramedics visited the property on Friday night.
After returning from the shops Miss Teasdale could not get back into the flat, but called Miss Flack’s father Ian who gained entry to the flat and found her body.
A source close to the family told the Sun of Miss Teasdale: ‘She was absolutely brilliant with her. On Saturday morning Caroline insisted she was fine and persuaded her friend to go home.

‘No one is blaming Lou for a second. She couldn’t have done any more. She is understandably distraught. It is so awful for her.’
Miss Teasdale shared an emotional Instagram post in memory of her ‘beautiful friend’, sharing a photograph taken last week of them together in the flat.
Sharing a series of photographs of the pair together, Miss Teasdale wrote: ‘Here’s us like five days ago really happy lolling telling each other we’re really fit and funny and five years ago, and ten years ago.
‘I love you. I hope you are at peace now. Til the end my beautiful friend, Caroline x.’
Miss Flack had pleaded not guilty to assaulting her boyfriend Lewis Burton at her former flat in Islington, North London, in a court hearing in December.
