TV host Caroline Flack's friends and family have announced that a festival will be held to celebrate her life and raise money for a mental health charity. Flack, who announced Love Island in 2014 and won Strictly Come Dancing, died in February 2020 at the age of 40. A one-day festival called Flackstock will feature performances from the world of comedy, dance and music on July 25th.

Pop stars Natalie Imbrulia, Louise Redup, and Fleur East are one of the first acts to be unveiled at this event on the grounds of Inglefield House near Pangbourne, Berkshire. Also, among the prominent performers of the day are Professor Green, Dermot O'Leary, Kirsty Galactic, Paddy McGuinness, Joel Dommet, Noel Fielding, and June Salpon. 

Strictly Come Dancing star Janette Manrara and her husband Ajazz Skolljaneck will also be present. The Organizing Committee consists of Caroline's mother Christine and her sister Jody, and their best friends Dawn Opporter, Natalie Pinkham, Anna Blue, Sarah Thiekif, Lee and Jill Francis. Christine Flack said: "Flackstock is a great idea for those who know her best, and is a great way to sing, dance, and most importantly, laugh at her." Flashstock celebrates Carrie. Not only is it the most positive way to do it, but the charity she loved will benefit from the proceeds.
