Caroline Flack documentary announced by Disney+

Disney+ have confirmed details about their upcoming documentary film about the tragic death of former Love Island host Caroline Flack.

It's been five years since TV star tragically took her own life aged 40, amid a looming court case after allegedly hitting boyfriend Lewis Burton with a lamp. 

Last month, the Mail revealed that Caroline's mother Christine is central to the new documentary, which will forensically detail her last 24 hours and try to give some answers as to why she died – and whether her life could have been saved. 

Now Disney have officially confirmed the feature length film from the makers of the 2021 Channel 4 documentary Caroline Flack: Her Life and Death.

Disney revealed the film would include first hand testimony, among them Caroline's family and friends, as Christine embarks on a journey to uncover the truth around the circumstances that led to Caroline tragically taking her own life in 2020.

Following the announcement Christine said: 'I still have so many questions about what happened to Caroline in her final months, and it's something I feel deeply compelled to explore, even though I know it will be challenging'. 

'I'm pleased to be working with the team at Curious Films once again, in the hope of bringing clarity and understanding to Carrie's story, not just for her, but for everyone who cared about her.' 

Gaby Aung, Senior Manager, Unscripted, Disney+ said, 'We're privileged to be working with Christine Flack and our production partners at Curious, as we follow a family's pursuit for answers and celebrate Caroline's legacy five years on from her tragic death.' 

One of the questions that Christine has been desperately seeking answers to is why Lou Teasdale and fellow friend Mollie Grosberg, left Caroline alone in her flat on the day she took her own life - with the Love Island star having made a previous suicide attempt the day before. 

'Why was it down to Caroline's friends to look after her?' a close pal of Lou, a stylist, asked MailOnline's Katie Hind last month.

'Where was her family? Louise had to get back to her young daughter, she couldn't stay any longer. They had been with Caroline for hours and hours and they tried to get her to go to hospital but she wouldn't. They remained at her flat to make sure she was OK but they couldn't stay there indefinitely, so they went.

'It is devastating that they now have Caroline's mother blaming them. Christine was once so close to Lou but not any more.

'Caroline's death has haunted her friends and changed their lives, and there is a view that she should be left to rest in peace. But this documentary is going to drag everything up and, whether it intends to or not, runs the risk of laying blame in certain places.'

Mollie, a production manager, who also stayed with Caroline that night, has openly said she will never get over her death. 'She was a good friend to Caroline,' said a friend of hers. 'She would have done anything for her.' 

After setting up an Ask Me Anything on Instagram earlier this month, Lou responded to a fan commenting: 'If someone is intent on suicide, nothing will stop them. You did your best, dont 4get that [sic]'.

Caroline Flack's friends hit back after her mother's painful questions: 'Why was it down to us to look after her that night? Where were her family?' KATIE HIND reveals rift - and haunting mystery about her death

Reflecting on her experience, Lou responded: 'Suicide has affected my life a lot over the past 10 years. As it does for many many people. If it's not you suffering personally it's someone around you.'

She continued: 'I am currently working with an amazing charity Body and Soul. 

'Since experiencing and doing my best to care for 2 separate close friends around me attempting suicide numerous times without getting the professional help they need before inevitably seeing it through,'

'I identified that between what our NHS and private health sectors offer and mental health "helplines" that raise millions of ££ a month in fundraising, there is quite literally NOTHING that actually works with and helps people who are suicidal.

'Body and Soul offer a one-of-a-kind 6 month support programme for individuals who attempt suicide and boast a 100% success rate with 0 reattempts from those who have been on their You Are Not Alone course. 

'They also offer free online workshops for people close to those who attempt who are, like me, completely unqualified but on front-line supporting someone going through this. I always say suicide is contagious.

'One suicide creates enough trauma around those involved there becomes a risk of further suicides without proper support.

'After researching a lot of different initiatives this is the only one that has stood out to me that has REAL on-the-ground impact with the work they do. 

'Reach out to them if you feel you need some help right now, or give them a follow and donate if you can. [sic]'
