MailOnline can reveal the embattled TV presenter, 40, no longer has Lewis, 27, as a contact on the photo-sharing site, indicating there may be some difficulties between the couple.

Despite the charges, Caroline and Lewis have remained united – with the tennis coach posting in support of his girlfriend, who was forced to step down as Love Island host last week.
He even shared a throwback image of Caroline on the app on Sunday, showing her sat on the back of a plane alongside the caption: ‘I love this girl. Take the backseat darling.’
But just a day later the couple have unfollowed each other in a move that could be to convince the court that they haven’t been in contact since the incident took place earlier this month.
Caroline concerned fans with her most recent post, which read: ‘This is the worst time of my life.
‘I don’t know where to go to. Where to look. Who to trust. Or who I even am.’
