Caroline Flack was honoured at a festival to celebrate her life and legacy last month, with one of her friends now saying they wanted to " show how much we loved her " with the event.
Flackstock Festival saw singers and celebrities come together to remember the Love Island presenter while raising funds for mental health charities. Caroline tragically took her own life in 2020 aged just 40.
The special event attracted thousands of guests and was organised with the help of Caroline's friend Anna Blue.
Speaking about why her friends wanted to put on the event, Anna said they wanted to "celebrate the fact it is OK to be open and talk about mental health."
"We were left with such a difficult end for her.
"And everyone wanted to put a different full stop on things and to try and to say and show how much we loved her. She was incredible, vibrant, joyous," Anna told GB News.
She added: "We wanted to hold an event that celebrated the fact that it is OK to be open and talk about mental health. The elephant in the room became the way her life ended.
"And nobody wanted that to be her legacy."
Anna said Caroline had been very close to the charities they raised money for, adding that to do something for them in her name was "the perfect way to say goodbye".
Caroline’s close friends, family and colleagues will feature in an upcoming documentary about the making of Flackstock.
The festival saw performers such as Ronan Keating and Tom Grennan take to the stage in a bid to raise awareness of mental health issues.
The Masked Singer’s Joel Dommett, Fleur East, Professor Green, Natalie Imbruglia, and Dermot O’Leary were also among those on the line-up.
Caroline's best friend and writer Dawn O’Porter shared the trailer of the upcoming documentary, which premieres this evening (August 28) on Sky Max.
"We made a documentary about the making of Flackstock," she penned.
"The whole thing was an absolute whirlwind of laughs and crying and stress and joy and every single other emotion on the planet. I’m so glad we did it.
"I’m so proud of all the people who made it happen and so grateful to everyone who performed and came. You can watch it at 7:30pm, Sunday 28th August. Sky Max and Showcase. Please do. It’s amazing what friendship can create. I miss you Caroline."
Caroline's mum Christine said she wanted to put on the festival because "singing, dancing and most of all laughing" were things her daughter loved to do the most.
