Caroline Flack, who grew up in Norfolk, took her own life in 2020 aged 40
The mother of the late TV presenter Caroline Flack will be exploring the final months of her daughter’s life in a new documentary.
Flack, who grew up in Norfolk, took her own life in February 2020, aged 40, after her mental health deteriorated while she was facing trial accused of assaulting her boyfriend.
In the film, called Caroline, Christine Flack will reflect on these events and her daughter’s career.
“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,” said Christine.

Flack was best known for presenting ITV reality show Love Island from 2015 to 2019, and also worked as a presenter on The X Factor and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.
In 2014, she won series 12 of Strictly Come Dancing, partnered by professional dancer Pasha Kovalev, and achieved a perfect score in the final show.
The film, which is due to be released later this year on Disney+, will feature interviews with other members of Flack’s family and some of her friends.
It will be produced by Curious Films, which made Caroline Flack: Her Life And Death, shown on Channel 4 in 2021.

“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,” added Christine.
Dov Freedman, the film’s executive producer at Curious Films, said: “It’s not often that you feel the need to return to a subject, but nearly five years after Caroline’s tragic death, we know there are still many unanswered questions for Christine and her family that need to be addressed.
“We’re proud to be collaborating with the Flack family once again, working together to seek some form of resolution to the tragic events surrounding Caroline’s death.”
