Caroline Flack’s close friend Dawn O’Porter has shared details of an upcoming documentary on the making of Flackstock, a one-off festival to remember the late star and celebrate her life.
More than two years after she took her own life, Flackstock championed the TV star’s life with music, comedy and dance while raising funds for mental health charities.
The festival was the brainchild of Caroline's mother Christine as well as her sister Jody, close friends Dawn O'Porter, Natalie Pinkham, Anna Blue, Sarah Tyekiff and Leigh and Jill Francis.
Her close friends thought up the concept after feeling that the first coronavirus lockdown in 2020, which was in place only 13 days after Flack’s funeral, robbed them and her family of the chance to mourn together.
Producer and presenter Dawn has now shared details of the upcoming documentary following the making of the special festival in Berkshire.
Taking to her Instagram, Dawn wrote: “We made a documentary about the making of Flackstock.
“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.”
Flackstock featured appearances from Louise Redknapp, Olly Murs, Noel Fielding and Professor Green among many others.
Former X Factor star Fleur East also performed after being personally approached by Caroline’s close friend Pinkham and mum Christine.
Others on the packed performers list included Masked Singer winner Natalie Imbruglia.
Comedians Paddy McGuinness and Joel Dommett featured on the line-up, alongside presenters Dermot O’Leary, Kirsty Gallagher and June Sarpong.
Caroline’s loved ones said holding Flackstock was a way of remembering her love of festivals while also raising money for charities that help those in potential trouble.
Her mother Christine said: "My Caroline was never more herself or happier than at a music festival with her sister and her friends.
"Flackstock is the wonderful idea of those who knew her best and the perfect way to remember her singing, dancing and most of all laughing.
“Not only is Flackstock the most positive way to honour Carrie, but charities that she loved will benefit from the proceeds.”
