Celebrities criticise media following presenter’s death but reporters describe more complicated web of relationships
Stephanie Davis is a singer, an actor in Hollyoaks, a former runner-up on Celebrity Big Brother and a single mum. She was also a friend of Caroline Flack’s, and on Saturday evening, distraught at the news of her suicide, she posted an emotional video on her
Instagram feed addressed to the media “and to everyone who has blood on their hands”.
She also launched an online petition calling for “new and stricter laws around safeguarding celebrities and people in the public eye” from the press, which to date has attracted more than 615,000 signatories.
