Caroline Flack to return to TV screens in posthumous documentary told by her mother after tragic death

The late Caroline Flack will return to TV screens in a moving documentary about her life told through the eyes of her mother Christine Flack.

Disney+ has announced the documentary with the working title Caroline, which will follow Flack’s mother as she tries understand the events in the final months of her daughter’s life, while also celebrating her career.

Flack, who was born in London and grew up in Norfolk, took her own life in February 2020 at the age of 40, after. In the time leading up to her death she discovered that prosecutors were going to press ahead with an assault charge, following an incident with her boyfriend, Lewis Burton, in December 2019.

The new film will be produced by Curious Films, which made 2021’s Caroline Flack: Her Life And Death, and will be released later this year on the Disney streaming service.

Speaking ahead of the documentary, Christine Flack 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."

Over the summer, Olly Murs paid tribute to his late friend during a festival in her memory, describing it as 'hard' before sharing an 'emotional' update as he left the stage and headed back home. Ahead of performing, the singer took to Instagram with a string of clips showing the pair when they hosted The Xtra Factor together as well as videos of Caroline singing. Olly admitted: "Been reminiscing a lot these last few weeks knowing Flackstock is today!

"Caz loved singing, we did it so much, didn’t always capture those moments on camera but I did capture them as memories which I’ll never forget. So I thought I’d put some of these clips on here that I found of her beautiful voice! She sang more than me when I was around her."

He continued: "Today will be hard, it’s really odd feeling for me, I have this feeling of wanting to do this gig for her, for her family and for us to remember what a crazy funny kind mad hilarious woman she was but also feeling I’d rather this festival not be here, and that Caz was still here with us. I’ve never felt emotions like this before a gig!

"Although hard this festival is a special event, which brings everyone together not just to celebrate her life but help those out there that are struggling too, the amazing charities that are involved in this can really help people. I’m honoured to be here and I know she will be drinking a pina colada tonight watching x miss ya caz."
