They dated from 2003 while Matthew was hosting his own show on show The Wright Stuff.
In 2005, while out with Matthew and her mum in Primrose Hill, north London, Caroline was the victim of a “happy slapping” attack.
At the time, she had suffered hair loss from breast cancer treatment and was called a “slaphead” and knocked to the ground by a gang of teenagers.
“Happy slapping” was a new crime phenomenon in the early 2000s where gangs attacked random victims and filmed it on mobile phones.
Matthew said at the time: “When people go around torturing and abusing people with cancer, it makes you wonder what kind of world we live in.”
The 60-year-old LBC host is now married to Amelia Gatte after meeting at a garden party held by their mutual friend Miriam Stoppard.
They married in 2010 and welcomed a baby daughter called Cassady after eight years of unsuccessful IVF treatments.
Meanwhile Caroline appears to have sworn off men following her five failed engagements, admitting she sold all the rings.
During her 30-year career in PR, Caroline has worked for , The Who and Dionne Warwick.
Speaking about her upcoming stint, she said: “What I’m looking forward to is getting out of this world at the moment.
“Just getting off social media, getting away from my phone. I’ve had my phone since 1994. That’s a long time.

“And I watch too much TV and there’s too much noise going on, so it’ll be nice to just pretend that the world is beautiful.
“I think I’ll bring quite a complex amount of things to the Big Brother house.
“One, I like to joke around, and I like to do practical jokes and stuff like that.
“Two, I’m very sensitive and caring. And I probably cry a lot. I don’t think I’ll be the mum of the house because I’m too naughty.”
Last night, Caroline faced eviction alongside two other housemates just moments after entering the house.
Viewers will find out tonight whether she survived the first night – or whether she was given the boot.
